Continue reading →: NYCM RR: Finishing on a horse
I’ve felt that having done this marathon two times before… it gets really easier if you know how diabolical it can be… And I crested the Queensboro without even noticing, slowly and with short steps, and I was able to take the monster downhill into the wall of sound and…

Continue reading →: NCYM RR: Running Free
Saturday I was not a happy camper. I was really scared of what could happen. I had a list of exit strategies, but still, I wasn’t sure it was a good idea to even bother… Luckily, I had a bunch of friends come over to distract me. At 7:30 pm…

Continue reading →: NCYM: Not quite a RR
I am alive. I am not in the hospital. No freaking out necessary. Actually, had the best race of my life. I wrote “boston” as my mantra, to remind myself to have another Boston, a race where I was relaxed and I had fun. THAT is exactly what happened. I…

Ta-daaaaaaa I was pregnant Kara Goucher, along with pregnant Paula Radcliffe! I told you it was super easy!!! This was the first time I dressed up for Halloween so I hope you’re not disappointed!! Yes, we’re THAT lazy. We were missing the buns, the nike tops, and the phytens, but it was…

Continue reading →: Do you have a (marathoning?) good luck charm?
I do!!! So far, I wore the same shirt on every marathon I’ve done: my “Something blue”. It’s the jersey for the Argentinian soccer team, the “away” version, which I like better than the regular striped light blue and white one (yuk!). NYCM08 The shirt was under a red windproof jacket I…

Continue reading →: It was a broken rib
Fractured/Cracked, whatever. No wonder breathing was painful. After ignoring the pain for days, my dr confirmed it this morning. The funny thing is, there is nothing you can do but pain management. He wanted to give me more Vicodin, Ialreadyhaveenoughfrommylastfallthreeweeksagothankyouverymuch! He said all that matters was that I didn’t have a punctured…

Continue reading →: Gansett is the new Boston
So, after the Boston mess this week, I think it’s time to move onto finding our new Marathoner’s Olympics until they figure it all out, right??? You might remember an article in 2010 May’s RW magazine about the Exeter Marathon… It’s now called the Gansett Marathon. And it’s looking interesting… So much, that it…

Continue reading →: I swear I am not clumsy!!
See? From an early age I was able to balance things (and my dresses are still the same size)… I’ve lately been asked if I am super clumsy and become that target of a few jokes. Ok, fine, I’ll take it. But it’s not that I a totally uncoordinated…

In case you didn’t see my previous post about how horrible this trail 50k was, appropriately called Mountain Madness. It was Madness in the Mountain. Literally. But enough with the spoilers. Getting ready… the place is gorgeous, and leaves are changing… Want to know how to make your own disposable handheld?????…

Ray Bradbury is never wrong: “I hate a Roman named Status Quo!” He said to me. “Stuff your eyes with wonder,” he said, “live as if you’d drop dead in ten seconds. See the world. It’s more fantastic than any dream made or paid for in factories. Ask no guarantees,…

Continue reading →: Staten Island Half Marathon RR: Short and Sweet!
And another 2010 goal down. This was the last of the 5 half marathons that make the NYRR Half Marathon Grand Prix, a pikermi in each boro, and it was my favorite, by far. The course was great, it had enough turns and hills to keep it interesting, one big out…
