Well, so there was a lot of food at our Wedding Ceremony in Central Park. It was a picnic after all. And we didn’t bother with a cake so a lot of our friends brought us wedding macaroons, big big Crumbs Colossal Cupcakes, all sorts of delicious stuff that we ate over…

Continue reading →: My NYC Marathon is Always a MegaMess
Pffff, WHY? Most of my races last and this year went great, I kept PRing like a maniac. I rocked a happy 3:27 in Berlin in September 2012 and a half PR of 1:37 in the 2013 NYC Half. All was happiness. Enter a massively stoooooopid idiotic ulcer mid July; it that…

Continue reading →: Race Report: NYRR Grete’s Great Gallop (13.1)
Any other year, I would have hated this race. But things change so much…so fast. There I went, into my race #90, undertrained and not ready for anything. With the NYC Marathon less than a month away, I figured this half marathon could be a great training run. It’s hard,…

I am still amazing and surprised at how my body works… I did a half marathon yesterday, and even though I wasn’t trained to race it but I figured it’d be a great training run NYCM, I was really not prepared: I stopped running for 6 weeks in the last two months, I…

Continue reading →: TEN loops of Harlem Hills in my long run!!
I coached all morning, and then at noon we headed off for my 16 miler. Why not do it all with Harlem Hill loops in it??? Five clockwise and five counterclockwise. It was slow, yes. But at least I am doing all I can do to ready in the few…

Sorry it took me a little bit to blog these pictures, it’s been a crazy year, month week, so please bear with me while I locate my brain. As you know, just like every year, I do/attend the 5th avenue mile, even if I a win still eludes me. Yeah,…

Continue reading →: 18 miles done. And with SIX Harlem Hills in it. Yeah, 6!
My runs in the last two months have been… short and slow… when I was running… Basically, I got the ulcer and Gerd pain and symptoms on July 24 (and I was at 113 miles for July) and then it all stopped abruptly. I didn’t run for weeks, and I…
