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…
The workout So for our group that means 56 seconds for each 200 and then a 400 that isn’t too slow! Scott and I talked about it on the way and we really should shoot for between 4-5 sets. Ideally 5 would be good, but realistically I knew we’d hit 4.
Finally a 35 mile week 3 years ago my winter goal was to never dip below 35 miles of weekly running (and I hit it). It was easier then though. The kids had ski racing 5 days a week so we were driving them all over creation for training and races. If I was not…
Scott left for a business trip to NYC early Monday morning. Our Honda Pilot has a flat tire so I drove him to the bus stop and then headed back home to work. As we headed for him to board the Cornell bus he asked if I planned to go to MITHACAL Milers. “I’m not…
This week was VACATION week! It is our first year having one child in college. For the past 2 years we’ve traveled as a family to ski in Colorado. We thought it would feel sad to take a ski trip without Elizabeth so we decided to indulge Xander with his desire to go to Disney…
A weird week The week started off strong and then it just fell apart toward the end. Training was mostly ok, but every day seemed like there was a new work or personal challenge that just pushed me past what I could handle. I had a lot of baking to do and teaching the week…
