Everyone in the industry is quite familiar how OR works. I had no idea. All I was told was: 1- it is huge 2- it is very laid back   What I found out:  1-it’s bigger and bigger than I imagined. And I probably couldn’t even tell you, you’d have…

In my last 20 miler this weekend, we had an interesting set up. It’s usually Blaise and I, but this time we had our friend Patricia along. Blaise is a 3:29 marathoner, 1:39 half-er. Or something like that. Patricia is a 3:23 marathoner… Both are way faster than me (my…

I had gotten to bed pretty late last night (long day with the Ironman, will post soon) but got up a 6 to watch the marathon…. Then Ryan drops out, Abdi drops out… it gets a bit tiring and dissapointing, you know?? it’s always the SAME thing…  There will never…

A couple of weeks ago, I was interviewed for Gotta Run, a running show, and met Dr. Dan, a Runner and Physiatrist who also had a heart attack right on the set.   I really had no idea how it’d all go as my approach to doctors is usually “we’ll see”, but I…

I got an exciting email this week Can you make it to Outdoor Retailer next week? Uhm… First thought: I’D LOVE TO!!! I REALLY WANT TO! Second thought: this is possibly the worst week ever to take a few days on… I need to leave Wednesday August 1st and come…

WHAT’S THE SECRET? WHAT’S THE SECRET?? I was yelling from the bed this morning. Do I even care?   Pffft Let me go back.   The boyfriend was going out early for his long run and I asked mileage, pace, you know, normal morning convo, we ended up talking about…

I used to fear the long runs. Then, I started liking the long runs. Then I became obsessed with them, they were a huge part of my week. Sometimes they went ok. Sometimes they kicked my butt. But there were always amazing when they were over. My long runs had…

Yesterday, in my post about the new Gotta Run episode, I put some stills up and Tommyrunner commented: I will have to watch this. Will there a caption contest for each of the stills? So, let’s do it! I am a bit scared of what words you could put in my mouth, but I am grown up……

Remember when I did that interview for a running show called Gotta Run? Well, if you don’t, the interview is here, and you can watch it anytime! Speaking of which, Will, the host, emailed me last year to see if I wanted to be in his show again in his anniversary episode.…

I get so many random tweets, it is hard sometimes to know what’s what. I got a link tweet telling me I was an “inspiration”. I didn’t want to, but I clicked and found a great article! http://timetokickbuts.com/2012/07/10/mind-over-matter-26-say-i-can-inspiring-marathon-stories/ Not possible. Bart Yasso, Fred Lebow, Terri Fox in the same list…

Being the Triathlon Manager at Team in Training, this was a weekend I had been planning for a long long time. There were two main components. Friday was the Inspiration Dinner, where we inspire (duh) and carboload the athletes. And Sunday was the race, plus the Victory Celebration. Both days take…

Last week was super super super busy at work, with the NYC Tri happening this past weekend: we had an enormous team of over 400 triathletes running for Team in Training. I got little sleep, tired all over and I still had to do 20 miles this past weekend. Friday…

  Yesterday we woke up a bit after 11 am, July Fourth holiday and all, and I had to do speedwork. I got changed, looked at the temperature on the iphone, it said 73, shorts and bra, ready to go. The boyfriend is always my pacer (or there’d be NO…
