Um, we’ll get back to the title of this post in a while. Yes, this is in fact my race report for the 2012 Sugarloaf Marathon. After not getting into the 2012 Boston Marathon by a mere 33 seconds (a blessing in disguise in retrospect), I began searching for a marathon that could get me [...]

If you can close your eyes and see the person you want to be, you can be it. That was one of my posts the other day on Twitter and Facebook. It came to me after watching two inspirational videos about two gentlemen who transformed themselves over the course of a year. I hash-tagged my [...]
Denial is Good

Denial is often viewed as a negative word – one that implies that someone is hiding from an apparent truth. We’ve all been there. If you are a special needs parent, you know exactly what I am talking about – that stretch of time when you kept telling youself, no, not my kid…not my child…he/she [...]
21 Weeks – Boston 13.1 with Team Up with Autism Speaks

Some of you may still be waffling. Some of you may be thinking, it’s too late. Luau’s 26 24 week plan doesn’t work for me anymore. If only there were a 21-week plan to get me to the finish line on September 16th, then, THEN I’d walk with Jess at the Boston 13.1 Team Up [...]
2 Roads…Boston Marathon 2012 (Part I)

4:30AM – I imagine that many are already up, awake after a sleepless night. They are stumbling about their homes or hotel rooms, checking, double checking, triple checking their gear for the day. I am asleep. 5:30AM – Somewhat bleary-eyed, but full of excitement, thousands head for the buses at the Boston Commons. As sleepy [...]
The Road to Boston…

…goes through Sugarloaf – at least for me. 5 days until one of the greatest annual road races takes place. After traveling from all over the world, thousands will take the slow, what feels like forever bus ride from the Boston Commons to the town of Hopkinton, where they will wait – wait for their [...]

My new training program has called for a lot of cross-training and some timed runs that I find easier to do on a treadmill. Because of this, I have found myself going to the local gym way more than I have in the past. I have probably been to the gym more in the last [...]

Tomorrow is April 1st. It is the first day of Autism Awareness Month. On Monday, World Autism Awareness Day, hundreds of landmarks and millions of homes, including our own, will be lit up blue.
