Wow, I just realized that my last post was a month ago!!! Yes life gets busy but that is not a good enough excuse to let my blog go to the wayside so I will need to do better than this….anyway, moving on…. A couple of things: I had a visit with Dr. E at […]
Why I Hate the Treadmill
The weather here in Alaska has not been ideal for running outdoors. It’s very icy which makes for very treacherous conditions. But I am committed to my running plan of not missing more than two days in a row. Being that I work 12 hour shifts, I need to run on those days that I […]
I’m in again….
I was really worried that somehow I was going to screw up my entrance into the NYC Marathon for 2016. I wasn’t sure how to claim my spot, but once the registration opened today, I was prepared to figure it all out. And it was sooo easy! I logged onto NYRR and I got a pop-up […]
NYC Marathon…..
After taking a couple of months off to give my heel more of a chance to improve, I decided to get back to running on this New Year’s Day. Its been kind of interesting taking the time off. Some days my heel appears to be better and some days it seems much worse! My […]
To a Healthier New Year
There are all kinds of changes any one of us can make to have a healthier New Year. My goal was to announce my addiction to Cokes and my plan to give them up for good. I have stopped drinking Cokes for a month or two at a time, but I haven’t been able […]
Spectators at the New York City Marathon
Flying into New York and seeing the Verrazano Bridge was so amazing. I thought I would feel really sad about deferring my entry, but I had accepted that I would not be running this year. I was going to be in New York to enjoy the events and the city!! I live at the end […]
CANCELED! But Not Over….
It was hard… Yes, I do want to review the cancellation policy: Okay, just reassurance that I still have guaranteed entry into next year as long as I pay the fees. Once I hit the cancel entry button, it gave me a chance to think about it. I have been thinking about it for some […]
And the Journey Continues…..
As I mentioned in my last post, my training has not gone as well as I had hoped. My contemplation of deferring until next year has become a reality. I have not officially hit the cancelation button, but I have made the very difficult decision to not run this year. Even though my achilles has […]
Back On Track for NYC Marathon!
It has been a busy, not to mention a little frustrating, couple of months. Summer is pretty much over in Alaska, but we are having a beautiful fall. We don’t get all the red colors like in some areas in the lower 48, but the gold colors have been so vibrant this past week. I […]
The Training Saga Continues….
Really this isn’t the time that I should be trying to figure out the best training plan for the NYC Marathon. I should have that already dialed in, but I wasn’t expecting to get into the marathon either. At the same time, I do not want to give up this opportunity, so I am trying […]
