Volunteer at a race! I had the pleasure of volunteering at the More Magazine/Fitness Magazine Half-Marathon on Sunday. I arrived for my assignment at 6:30 am. Walking through Central Park that early with very few people, besides the race organizers, around was one of the most peaceful, zen moments I’ve had in a while. I … Continue reading

Running in Regents Park
I’m back from my european tour. I managed to get one good run in during me trip to London. I ran in Regent’s Park. Regent’s Park is one of the Royal parks. It covers about 395 acres and includes the London Zoo. Henry VIII once used it as hunting grounds and today it is a … Continue reading
What a Find
Hi there, So I’m back on my world wide tour, currently making my way through Western Europe. I’m of course training, or trying to train for a few upcoming races. The first one is the New York Half in March. Guess what? With all of this travel, 20k miles in two weeks so far, it … Continue reading
Happy New Year
Happy New Year!! I took a little break from running after the NYC Marathon cancellation, my total miles per week during that time was around 10 miles per week. I took some time to eat, drink and be merry. I was fortunate to start the year running! Surprised? I hope not. I felt like a … Continue reading
Sandy Redux
So superstorm Sandy blew into town and my big test got canceled. I’m still processing the cancellation, the reaction and what to do next. So stay tuned. But before I leave, I’d like to share with you some choice phrases from people who opposed the runners of the 2012 New York City Marathon. As runners … Continue reading
Oh Sandy
Well, even if I didn’t want to taper, Sandy has taken care of that. I ran my last long run yesterday, a short 10 miler. I was suppose to run for 13, but I was no match for the wind and neither were the trees. So I thought it was best to quit while I … Continue reading
Fall Viewing
During one of my last long runs, I saw such beauty in the early morning fog and changing colors of the trees that really moved me. I returned to my route and snapped these pics later in the day. I wish I was able to capture the beauty that I saw during this run. It … Continue reading
13 Days To Go!
Oh boy, there’s no turning back now. 13 days to put all of my moaning and groaning, hill repeats, intervals, tempos, long runs, shoe testing, mental fortitude to the test. Am I ready? Who knows? There’s not much I can do to improve the outcome in 13 days. It would be akin to cramming for … Continue reading
Snuggie or Footie?
What a week for my training! It started with breathing issues, then stomach issues, and rain and fatigue and the kitchen sink. I ran a total of 16 miles this week. This was suppose to be my week to run the most miles in my training, but things didn’t quite turn out that way. I … Continue reading
Breaking Waves in Barbados
I stepped away from reality for a few days to attend a friend’s wedding in Barbados. What a piece of paradise. I was proud of myself for waking up diligently every morning to run. Before I left I frantically searched online for running groups because I wanted to run routes that I would’t know as … Continue reading
