Big Sur Training: Week 1
Hah. I signed up for the Boston 2 Big Sur Challenge a while ago and am actually dreading excited to run another marathon next weekend, even though it’s going to be really tough. I ran The Big Sur Marathon last year and it was amazing. The most beautiful and most challenging course I have ran. [...]

My First Boston: After the Race
When we left off I was still smiling and showing off my medal… Then I had important things to attend to… That night we had a big team party where I shoved my face with delicious macaroni and cheese, drank beers and recapped the day with tons of friends including Page! We were obviously [...]
Race Report: 2011 Boston Marathon
I am having a hard time finding the right words to fully express this day, I just want to do it justice! I really tried to go into this race without a ton of expectations, but with a race like Boston that is pretty much impossible. It gets so built up from everyone who has [...]

Boston Training: Week 16
16 weeks ago I started training. The weeks ticked by, my mileage increased and my training plan had alterations a number of times. I tried to take everything in each week, knowing how fast this day would be here, but of course it still flew by. Now we are here at the end of the [...]
My First Boston: The Details
This city is FULL of marathon fever. You can’t go anywhere without seeing a runner wearing a piece of Boston gear or a sign about the marathon. It’s everywhere. I got my first glimpse of the finish line today too. Today was full of sleeping in, my last run before the race, eating and blogger [...]
