75th Marathon: Coast to Coast Challenge!

running, travel / 1 Comment

Though I just got my recap of last weekend up yesterday, tonight kicks off another busy and exciting weekend. It all began when I finally took the time to tally up my marathons (in an Excel worksheet, obviously) and realized that I was starting to approach the 75 mark. With our decimal number system that has 75 as a big important number (it’s 3/4 of the way to 100!), I wanted to do something exciting for my 75th marathon. At first, I planned to run the Yonkers Marathon in early September as my 74th marathon, which would then allow Wineglass …

running, travel / 14 Comments

As you all probably know, I’ve been strengthening my running friend relationships lately. My fitness friends are so totally awesome – even if some of them are sometimes not the best influence on me. Me: “I’m doing two marathons in May… it’s going to be busy.”Jocelyn: “You should come pace me in the New Jersey Marathon on May 6!”Me: “Hmm… okay.”Jocelyn: “And I’m doing the Country Music Half Marathon on April 28… you should come run the full so that I have someone to cheer for when I finish!”Me: “Great! Sign me up!” Four marathons in five weeks is not …

Becoming certifiable

running / 4 Comments

After an angry night last night, it’s time that I cheered up and focused on the positive. On Monday, I got an email from the Road Runners Club of America. They offer certification to become a running coach, which is something I’ve toyed with doing for a while. The problem is, their courses fill up crazy fast – within hours of opening. You have to be pretty darn committed and quick on your feet to get in! Which I suppose is not a bad thing for a running organization 🙂 Having been on their list for a while, the courses …

Halloween Marathon!

running / 11 Comments

Shortly after Friday’s post, I got offered a free entry to the Marine Corps Marathon and promptly accepted. I’ve heard great things about the MCM, and am really looking forward to the opportunity to run it. Now, what makes the race especially interesting this year is that it’s being held on Sunday, October 31st. Halloween! You know what means… I want to run in some kind of fun costume. However, I think whatever costume I pick should be somewhat topical/appropriate. Luckily, I have plenty of time to think about it and try out different options. Here’s what I’ve come up …

My crazy plans still seem to be working!

running / 7 Comments

This morning, I had my long run scheduled. I know it’s a Friday and not a weekend, but I have a girlfriend coming to visit for the weekend, so I didn’t want to make her sit around waiting for me to finish my long run. Plus, today is the first day of the new Financial Services practice fitness challenge for work, so I figured it would be great to intimidate everyone else by opening the contest with a 20 mile run 🙂 I was absolutely exhausted all day yesterday, honestly wanting to go to bed around 4pm. I hung in …
