Continue reading →: GiveAway!!! Have you seen these MilestonePods that track your mileage?
I found a neat new gadget that could be pretty useful: the MilestonePod. It tracks your mileage so you know when to change your shoes. Some of us are a bit… ehem, type-A, and use megaspreasheets to track miles on shoes or something else but this thing could make life very…

Continue reading →: I’ve been a wimp!
Since I got back from Argentina my running has been a little bit of a mess. I was running every single day there, in the 90+ degree weather because I had no choice: I was eating SO much, I had to keep moving or I’d have to resort to rolling…

Continue reading →: Racing all Over Bermuda, part deux
So, where did I leave it last week? Everyone did the mile and the 10k, but the best part was around the corner. And the most stressful. Not really stressful, I was stressed about it, which is different. The day before an event, we do what we call the Inspiration Dinner.…

A week ago I left for Bermuda, well more like 10 days ago. We had a big Team in Training group participating in the Bermuda Marathon Weekend so Jenny and I were the Staff. What’s in the Bermuda Marathon Weekend? Friday there is the invitation mile, Saturday is a very hilly…

I’ve added the last years for comparison purposes… and my comments in Italics. I expect your comments too! Total Miles: 2009- 678 2010- 1217 2011- 886 2012- 1241 —Highest so far, but not by a lot and not really that much. As I focused on the half for half a…

So… I run a race yesterday…!! It was pretty osom too. The San Silvestre 8K is a race that happens in many cities all over the world, on the last day of the year. Seems like a really cool tradition and the best way to end the year and set yourself up…

Three years ago they created an amazing running path in a neighborhood close to ours. It is like a mile away but the walk/run there is not so bad. I take the path I used to take to go to my elementary school… It’s usually quite this quiet. This used to…

Continue reading →: Anatomy for Runners
Just because some of you asked for more on form in my last post, about my 2012 best practices, I figured I’d share! I just finished reading Anatomy for Runners by Jay Dicharry; there is an excerpt here, and check out the table of contents: I am not sure about you, but…

Continue reading →: When you’re on vacation, all bets are off
Or at least I like it that way. I run because I want to, not because I have to. I would never do that on vacation. It’s vacations for Pre’s sake!! But, the fun part is, I RUN MORE! I usually run an average 4 days a week. I’ve been here for…

Continue reading →: My 2012 Best Practices Official List
I’ve been mentally composing this post for the last 3 months… I do a “What I’ve learned this year” post every year, but I have a lot going on this year… I did a lot of things differently this time around and I had a great year. Probably my best…

Continue reading →: Heard of Trigger Point Performance Therapy?
Trigger Point PT makes all these torture devices interesting massage/stretching instruments… I went in because I was curious about the grid, this thing: and ended up with this: Because, when do we ever get what we want?! That pack has everything. EVERYTHING. Those rollers are RIDICULOUS. You put them on top of…

Ooooops, seems like almost a whole week has gone by and I haven’t had time to even blog! I got to Argentina on Friday early and the days before I worked like a maniac to get things done. Once I landed I was so exhausted from the past week and…

Continue reading →: Yes, I am pushing it… on purpose!
A few weeks ago I decided I needed a running-shoe cleanse. I piled up the ones I don’t use and I know I will never use and decided who would get those. Done with those. My favorite pairs, around 15 of them, back to the rack. And got…

I love getting my annual physical exam! Not sure why I started, but I like seeing and comparing my yearly numbers and brining them to my cardiologist, he makes a big fuzz of my amazing cholesterol and I feel like I am doing something right (when, in reality I am…

Continue reading →: One week to the Sun!
In a week, I’ll be running around in 80s and 90s and who knows, possibly 100 degrees! Can’t wait!!!! Packing will take two minutes. I have been looking forward to this for a few months now. I really need a vacation. I vacationed in Berlin and Hawaii this year and…

I signed up on Tuesday for NYRR’s Ted Corbitt Classic 15K. Online registration closes on Tuesday, when a race is not sold out, which is always. As usual, I looked at the weather, looked 40ishy, and as I don’t do well in the cold, I always check. 40 is perfect. I am…

I’ve been having the randomest runs lately. I get one where I am dragging, and then the fastest, PR-setting runner’s high on the next one. Who knows? I like that I have no idea what kind of run I have around the corner. Yesterday I woke up at 5 am, for…
