I can point to the exact moment when I decided to run the NYC marathon. It was 2009 when Paula Radcliffe ran passed me near mile 8 of the NYC Marathon route. I came out early to watch the elites run, while gearing up to cheer a friend on, as she also ran the marathon … Continue reading

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
