Cancer Don’t Care – Two Days To Go!
Posted on June 2, 2014
Dear Friends, There are just two days left in my Woman of the Year campaign for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. It’s been a ten-week journey during which I’ve challenged myself, have been reminded that the world contains loving and supportive people, and have realized we possess the power to make good spring from the roots of tragedy and loss. My friend, Stefanie, […]
The Final Two Weeks: Cancer Don’t Care
Posted on May 22, 2014
Dear Friends, Eight weeks ago, I set out on a challenge: raise as much money as possible in a ten-week period to benefit The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. I launched the Cancer Don’t Care campaign during a personally tumultuous time, including losing my father to blood cancer just five weeks before the campaign began. It would have been […]
13.1 Miles for a Cure
Posted on May 12, 2014
This coming Saturday, May 17, I will be running the NYRR Brooklyn Half Marathon. This race comes at the start of my training for Chicago Marathon, this fall. Many of you are aware that I am part of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s Woman of the Year campaign. This is a national, spirited […]

Let me first admit: it’s been over a month since I last posted. Leave it to you, Oakley New York Mini 10K, to help break the silence. This was my fourth year running the Mini. I quite like this race. It’s a fantastic distance (long enough to pace, way shorter than a marathon), a nice […]
NYRR Scotland Run 10K
Posted on April 6, 2013 1 Comment
The Scotland Run’s always one of my favorite NYRR races. Let’s face it: it’s scattered with kilts and bagpipes – two things of which I’m quite fond! If only they were part of every race… Last year’s Scotland 10K was a PR for me. That’s not saying much since I’ve never properly raced this distance. […]
Lack of Motivation Turned Inspiration

Last Sunday was a bit of a slog for me. My scheduled “long” run wasn’t all that long (as far as marathon training goes). I only had 10 miles up, with a mini tempo workout built into it. Even though I had been looking forward to the run, I couldn’t get myself moving out the […]
NYCM: Race to Recover

I’ve been quiet the past week or so with the incoming hurricane and its devastating aftermath. NYRR, the City, and partnering agencies decided the 2012 New York City Marathon will continue as scheduled. This post is not intended to be a forum for opinions on this matter. There are a variety of other social media […]
NYRR 5th Avenue Mile

“Blink and you miss a sprint. The 10,000 meters is lap after lap of waiting. Theatrically, the mile is just the right length – beginning, middle, end: a story unfolding.” Sebastian Coe ~ Fifth Avenue is beautiful on any given day. It truly is. But it becomes phenomenal when the NYRR 5th Avenue Mile arrives. […]
