At this time last year I was nervously laughing at my friend Doug, who was trying to convince me to follow through on a promise to run the Vermont 50 with him. I had made that promise during a moment of idiocy, immediately regretting my words the moment they flew out of my mouth. There [...]

I Want You!

Last Saturday I had the honor of attending the Boston Autism Speaks Walk Awards Dinner. It was an evening filled with inspiration and hope. While there I spent some time talking with Erica Giunta, head of the Massachusetts chapter of Autism Speaks. She was excited to tell me that Autism Speaks and the 13.1 Marathon [...]
Super Sunday 5

My very first road race was the SuperSunday 5K/10K – all the way back in 2009. I had no idea what I was doing and it showed. I entered the 10K and finished in a respectable 46:58. The following year I entered it again (again in the 10K) and ran what was probably my best [...]

The Toughest Ten Minutes of the Day

4:10 AM – the alarm on my phone goes off – a mix of a loud snoring sound and the phone vibrating on my nightstand. 4:10 AM. Ugh. Am I really gonna do this? Do I really WANT to do this? 10 miles? Really? It’s 30° outside. It’s cold. It’s dark. I could just hit [...]
I am not Tim Pawlenty

If you don’t follow politics at all, you may not know who Tim Pawlenty is. He is a former governor of the state of Minnesota who decided to run for President. He was part of the large field of Republican candidates who were vying for their party’s nomination. Last summer, after finishing a distant 3rd [...]

This video is old, but I saw it just the other day for the first time. It made me think of my ongoing struggle to get back into the swing of things. This video is relatively new. It was posted by a doctor who is advocating exercise in a very simple, easy to understand way. [...]
Move It
Posted in motivation, training, tagged motivation, running, winter on December 5, 2011 | 2 Comments »
As much as I appreciated the extra hour of sleep the Sunday of the New York City Marathon, I have to admit, I really dislike giving up daylight savings time. It just makes it feel like winter is that much closer. I begin to hit the wall that much sooner. I reach for a glass [...]

Hey! What are you doing?!? Silly, what are you doing? *** Can you read the difference? My older daughter, Katie, has been struggling for some time now with many of the quirks that come with Brooke’s autism. Brooke likes to script things, and though we work very hard to move her away from them, we [...]
Won’t Get Fooled Again

October 2009 – Manchester, NH. I am running my first marathon. I have aspirations of qualifying for Boston in my first marathon. How cool would that be? Of course, I’ve only been running for a little over 11 months now. My training has been haphazard, AND I’ve had to lay off the miles in the [...]
