A few Saturdays ago, I was coming back from work when I saw a tweet from Nissan (a sponsor of the NYC marathon) that they were handing out prizes to the first 10 people who showed up and said the secret word… they were two blocks from where I was.…

Continue reading →: TMobile Shoe4Africa 5K RR (Or: Another race time I can’t explain…)
A race that didn’t sell out a week before!??! Well, I looked at the weather, saw that it was going to be in the 50s on Sunday and signed in. I don’t race well when it’s cold… This race had it all. Small (Around 500 or so to close registration),…

A few weeks before Berlin I got these lovely shoes… Let me shoe you (ha, pun intended!)! The sole is super thin and bendable. The insteresting part is inside… your toes are pretty much, hanging out, literally. The way Samurais did it years and years ago. …

Continue reading →: My first Orienteering Run!
On Sunday I was going to meet my friend Helen for a run, she said noon. I said, I’ll confirm later. I wasn’t sure how late I’d be going to sleep on Saturday and how crappy-feeling or late I’d wake up on Sunday. Luckily, I woke up early, finished the 20…

Continue reading →: Mission Accomplished: I am a Certified Track and Field Coach! Now what?
Two weekends ago I attended the Track and Field 21.5 hours certification course. Over the past week I was determined to read the material before I started with the online test. The test was 200 questions… One coach on twitter told me he did it in 3 hours… hm… the…

This is really hard for me to write, acknowledge and also say outloud, but here it goes. I hope it doesn’t sound horrible. But I think I have to say it. Outloud. I have never ever ever been FITTER. In my life. I am the fastest, lightest, smoothest, efficient I’ve…

Continue reading →: USA Track and Field Coaching Certification (Or what I did this past weekend)
I’ve been thinking about doing this for a while. And.. you know, I’ve not just been running for a while, but I read A LOT of running books and running publications. I was expecting to be bored, and know most of it, and also hoping I would know most of…

Continue reading →: if there is a choice, PRIMAL is better.
I have a friend that says often enough that is there was a nuclear attack, I’ll be the only thing left along with the cockroaches. That does not seem fun but thanks? I guess…? I heard that enough times that I had to give it a thought. I do like that…

11/4/2012 9:05 PM CST I am going to admit it, when I was young, in Buenos Aires, I used to watch telenovelas. Yeah, really, what you call soap-operas. I should be ashamed. But I have no shame in me. I just remembered that, because, these past 4 days felt like a…

Continue reading →: NOW I AM UPSET
11/2/2012 7:21 PM CDT I am drained. Exhausted. P!ssed. I know in two minutes I will move on and get over it. But maybe I need to put this down now because, well, I am a blogger, and this is NOT right. When I took on then Social Media assignment…

11/2/2012 8:13 AM CDT Lots happened yesterday too, of course. I keep getting home too destroyed to even think about eating. Hard to think I’ll be doing a marathon in two days with all that is happening. I spent a big chunk of the day yesterday at the Media Center. Here…

11/1/2012 6:38 AM CDT Yesterday was a really tough day. Today is gonna be super busy so I am gonna get this one out FAST (sorry if there is misspellings!). Most runners are delayed, the airports just opened yesterday and the last one today. With that, all elites that were scheduled…

10/30/2012 9:23 AM CDT Ugh. I still need to wake up. I think it will take a few days… This was scheduled to be one of my busiest weeks of the year… if you had seen my calendar you’d think I had cloned myself. In between work, coaching, and all the…

Continue reading →: At the Edge of the Precipice
Today I remembered something I never think about. This feeling happens only for a few seconds, some very slow but fleeting seconds, just once or twice a year. And I never remembered it, until now. It was more like a tiny memory deja-vu. Marathons… take a lot of planning. You…

I have been walking on sunshine since my marathon… and even though it’s been 3 weeks it’s hard to believe it really happened. I have one of those Timex stick-on fake digital watches in my fridge that says 3:27:44; whenever I see it, I think someone must have done that.…
