May 24, 2020 We were supposed to be in California Training for Mountains to Beach marathon on the California coast started the first week in January. My mom was still alive, Coronavirus was yet to be a threat and we were so excited to help Xander as he trained for his first marathon. Just a…
Hiking Elizabeth and I started our 2nd month of daily hikes. On the morning of April 16th we awoke to snow and COLD. We hadn’t photographed our first month, but this was enough to make us decide to photograph month 2!! Going forward we’re taking daily pictures. We’re mostly hiking the rim trail near our…
As I write this it is day 29 since our entire world changed in Central New York due to Covid-19. Schools abruptly shut on Monday March 16th (we found out on Friday evening the 13th of March). Elizabeth and I hiked on Monday and decided we’d have a hiking streak. We thought it would last…
April 5, 2020 It’s cancelled The FLRC cancelled the Skunk Cabbage Classic on the very day of our last MITHACAL Milers training. They had just learned that Cornell likely wouldn’t let them host a large event and made the prudent decision to cancel. When Adam told us at our practice I was devastated. The full…
This was a fall back week for mileage. It felt pretty low key. We’re all settling into what feels like self-quarantine. I pretty much leave my house to hike with Elizabeth, walk with my dad and run either by myself or with one or two friends. I am settling into a fitness routine that includes…
Marathon name needed When Mountains 2 Beach cancelled we decided we’d run anyway. We’d leave our house and take a long route to Viva in Ithaca. I had a little online chat with a friend trying to convince her to join us for the “half” option. “We can end for takeout from Viva!” A bit…
And just like that every day is another new normal. When I went away to college I had a really hard time adjusting. Every night I would go to bed pretty sad and just beat up from the day. Luckily I would get good rest, but then in the morning I had that brief moment…
As I write this midway into training week 11 training the marathon is still on. I’m worried they will have to cancel and my training will need titles!! I’ve gotten to run several marathons so if it is cancelled I’ll be mostly sad for my son. We worked so hard to find a marathon that…

It wasn’t supposed to be the last week, but Coronavirus has really impacted the area. Cornell is taking measures and stopping large gatherings, and Adam decided it would be our last indoor week. When we arrived at Barton we waited for awhile and talked about how the FLRC just had to make the decision to…
