I have been so freaking bad at running, lately. I haven’t done any running in almost a month. True, Piper has been sick, and I have been sick. But, even when I didn’t have an excuse, I have been extremely bad at keeping with a routine, for this entire winter. Hopefully that will all change, … Continue reading If this doesn’t motivate me, nothing will→
Reagan and I have been working all year long to gain guaranteed entry to next year’s New York City Marathon. We have been doing the NYRR 9+1 program. We have had all of our races (plus a few extra) finished for quite some time now. But when we got online to sign up to volunteer, … Continue reading Busy Weekend→
Oh man. I opened my email yesterday and this is what I saw. I’m starting to get really excited for this race, and fall marathon season generally. I will be running this one with my friend Carl (who does not yet have a blog, but is diligently thinking about it). Reagan will be doing the … Continue reading Marathon Season→
The New York Road Runner’s club announced the results of the NYC Marathon today. But Reagan and I were actually both able to login last night and discover that we had not made it in this year. She asked me if I was bummed. I said no. But now that I think about it, I … Continue reading Running news (kind of)→
The semi-dry start wasn’t bad, at all. Ugghhhh. Going into this race I had a goal of finishing under 3:30. Little did I know it was going to be one of the most miserable races of my life. The first 10 miles were fine. It was kind of drizzling and a pleasant temperature. But then … Continue reading Soggy Marathon→
May is pretty cool for several reasons. My mom and my brother both have May birthdays. Piper has a birthday. I will be running my first marathon of 2009. Reagan will be running her first half marathon of 2009. Also, May is officially Bike Month in New York City. I’m not sure how many of … Continue reading Happy May→
I entered Reagan and myself in the lottery today for the NYC Marathon. Either way, we plan on running it next year, through the NYRR program. Wouldn’t that be awesome, though, if we could do it 2 years in a row?
No, we didn’t run the race (this year), but if you read Reagan’s blob, then you probably know that we volunteered this year at the NYC Marathon. We were both chip clippers (the people who cut the timing chip from the runners’ laces at the finish line). This is the last year that people will … Continue reading NYC Marathon→
Giving thumbs up with about 2 miles, to go. Down the home stretch, firing up the sprintReagan and Carol, Down the home stretch Reagan and Carol, crossing the finish line
The Hartford Marathon was a blast. The festivities began when our friend Deanna flew last Thursday night. She wanted to come run her first marathon with Reagan. Friday morning we drove up to visit Piper on our way to Hartford. We woke her up from a nap to play with her. She was a bit … Continue reading Happy Columbus Day→
