10 weeks until the Paris Marathon! Here's my recap of training this past week: Monday: Total rest day.

Short and sweet recap this week of training for the Paris Marathon! Monday: I was heading out the door for an early run when I learned that my 12:40 flight from Heathrow to JFK was cancelled- just cancelled, no explanation, no rebooking...Fortunately my EA was able to book me on an earlier flight on a different airline.

She was legendary.
The love of my life. On Monday January 6, 2025, I said goodbye to my sweet Matilda Sloan Benson. We were so lucky to have her for 15.5 years- nearly the length of Dustin and my marriage. For such a large part of my adulthood, Matilda was a constant companion, an ever-loyal, ever-loving sweetheart. Getting a dog was one of the first things Dustin and I wanted to do when we got Continue Reading
