Here's my weekly recap: Monday: Second day of snowboarding in Continue Reading

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.

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

Happy New Year! Does it feel new and improved?? As for me, I’m up to the same old stuff... Here’s my recap of training for the Paris Marathon on April 13th: (I think I counted incorrectly, originally, and was previously recapping 17 & 18 weeks out, but I have to skip 16 to get back on track with 15 weeks out.
