Happy Friday! I haven’t been running almost at all lately, as I’m focused on reaching my 20 class goal for the month of October.  (Okay, actually I just reached it this morning, but now I’m focused on surpassing it!) However, I know that a lot of you are in the peak of fall marathon season right now, so I thought I’d pass along a list of five mistakes first time marathoners make, from Olympic silver medalist, 2009 New York City Marathon champion, and 2014 Boston Marathon champion Meb Keflezighi! After participating in Deena Kastor’s running retreat in July, our flight home was canceled and …

Boston Marathon Finish 2010

Happy Marathon Monday! Adam and I were discussing the Boston Marathon this morning, and while neither of us ended up tracking the race or watching it online, it’s still been neat to see the results of the elites and some blogging buddies come in. From some of the commentary I’ve seen, though, it looks like I may need to go find video of the final few miles in both the men’s and women’s races… they sounded exciting! The weather today certainly wasn’t ideal for a fast finish, and I’m sure more than a few runners ended up pulling out of …

Race Report: Lost Dutchman Marathon (DNF)

running / 13 Comments

I usually write a Night Before the Race post, because I think the two days leading up to the race are really important to performance and you don’t get the full picture of the race without them. This time, though, I kind of covered everything leading up to the race in my weekend recap… but left you hanging with what happened in the race. Well, that’s a bit of a story! On Saturday night, Adam and I went to bed at the party-hardy time of 7pm (whatever, we spent the day at a beer festival)… but then woke up at …

Race Report: Melbourne Music Marathon

Melbourne Marathon Finish Line

This is a delayed race report; I ran the Melbourne Music Marathon on (Superbowl) Sunday, February 1. At the end of my night before the race, I went to bed later than I wanted. However, when I woke up the next morning, I surprisingly wasn’t as tired as I thought I might be. I didn’t feel great, mind you, but at least I didn’t have a feeling of “counting down” to the number of hours until the race would be over and I could take a nap. (Yes, I have done marathons where I’ve gotten so little rest that that’s …

Night Before the Race: Melbourne Music Marathon

Melbourne Marathon Expo on Beach

What a fantastic weekend! If you follow me on Instagram or Twitter, you already know how thrilled I am with Sunday’s race results… but I have to say, going into it I wasn’t feeling all too confident. Thursday night, I was lucky enough to have dinner at a restaurant I’ve been trying forever to get into, Marmalade. It’s a bit pricey because it’s prix-fixe, but the food is fantastic! If you are ever going to Old San Juan, I would definitely recommend it as worthwhile to try to make a reservation – though know that it can be a little …
