Happy New Year!  I hope your 2019 is off to a great start.  I thought I’d fill you in on a few of my goals for this year & give you a long overdue update on my progress for Miami.  It’s hard to believe the race is just 2 weeks away! First, let’s discuss goals.  A few years…

It’s been over 2 years since my last post, but I’ve decided to revive the blog as I will be running another marathon in January.  More on that later, but first, I thought I’d do a quick trip down memory lane.  During my last blog post, I mentioned the Hartford Marathon.  Well, I did make it to Hartford, but…

  This past weekend’s long run with Fleet Feet was an 8 miler, and we really lucked out with the weather – low 60’s, beautiful blue skies, and low humidity.  It was just a nice morning to be outside running!  We we’re commenting that it was hard to believe it’s July.    Unfortunately, we spoke…

  About a month ago, I started searching for some local races to add to my upcoming marathon training schedule.  I was also hoping to convince my husband, JP, to join me for at least one race.  He was open to running a 5K, so that’s where I started looking, and I found the perfect…

I’ve been MIA for the last year and a half, but, brace yourselves, the blog Is coming back!  Stay tuned for a more thorough post tonight and a very BIG race announcement within the next week!!!

  Thanksgiving, Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, Cyber Monday – yep, the holiday season is in full swing!  This time of year – between shopping trips, travel, work deadlines, holiday parties,  ect – sometimes we can lose sight of what’s truly important.   But, tomorrow is an opportunity to remember.  Tomorrow is #GivingTuesday! Giving Tuesday…

Over the last few months, I’ve been making decisions about my 2015 race calendar & goals, and unlike last year – the decisions haven’t been easy! I started the process by writing down what’s most important to me: 1. Continuing to raise awareness & fundraise for rare diseases – including my own – Homocystinuria (HCU) 2….

Happy Easter everyone!!!  Well, the marathon is just 1 day away.  I had a wonderful, inspiring evening last night at the Running for Rare Diseases Team dinner at Genzyme.  I was delighted to spend time with two HCU families, the Nelson’s (Maeve’s family) and the Hummel’s (Will’s family) as well as some amazing members of…
