This weekend is the Toronto Triathlon Festival. This will be the third time I’m racing in a relay team at this event but instead of running, I’m going to be biking. So excited!! I signed up for the TTF as part of a relay team 2 years ago without knowing anything about the sport. I […]
The day before a run (and sometimes two days before a big run), I set out my clothes, socks, hat, running capris, shirt, and of course under garments. The night before I carb load, as do most runners. My go-to meal is a bowl of pasta, usually a well-made fettucine alfredo and lots of garlic […]
Race season is upon us and, once again, I’ve signed up for way too many races this year. It’s only April and I have already done my first 3 races of 2019 over 3 consecutive weekends. You can read about my race reports (ATB30K, Spring Run-Off 8k, and NYC Shape Half) over on my blog. […]
Ever feel like consistency isn’t happening? Feeling overwhelmed by each day’s training plan? Always putting everything ahead of your running? I was feeling that for a very long time even in April 2018 when I was starting my second marathon training cycle. I started off strong in the first week nailing each one of my […]
Do you ever wake up at 6 a.m. and scroll through your social media only to see some of your fellow running friends have already completed their runs for the day? Do you wonder how they do it? How they make it work? I am one of those friends at the gym by 4 a.m […]
I decided I would train for my first marathon by following a plan I found online. It had me running five days a week at varying distances. I followed the plan and I was ready, or at least I thought I was. I showed up on Jan. 29, 2017 to the Miami Marathon. I ran […]
Okay, not really running through the pain. I am not one of those “run or die” types. The pain is real. And I’ve had to dial back the running. I started back great. One week in, feeling good. Two weeks in, feeling so-so. Start of the third week in, and not so much. I felt […]
Oh hi. Remember me? I had started out as the Run Little Monkey run ambassador. I had a triumphant (though painful) finish at the London Royal Parks Half Marathon. And then I. Didn’t. Do. Anything. I was having lots of arch pain. Then I got scheduled for a totally unrelated surgery. Then I was mostly […]
Alright, first things first. The run was glorious. The weather was warm (a little too warm at times because it was so sunny). And the energy was great. As I mentioned before, I have been nursing an injury and I really wanted to complete this run. I set a “goal” of under 3:15 – but […]
