What's Wrong With This Picture?
Here I am in 1989 (!) near mile 24 in Central Park about to finish my first marathon, New York City. I look so happy! And check out those ripped quads! So what’s wrong with this picture? No, I am not talking about the quality of the pixels, or the cotton race T (there was no Lululemon back then), or the unfortunate black-and-pink short shorts (eek!). WHERE ARE ALL THE WOMEN? Seriously. Look… → Read More

Why I'm Going Back to Boston
“You’re taking her?!”A few months ago, I was happily telling a mother-runner friend about how this year’s Boston Marathon so nicely lined up with my fourth-grader’s spring break. She could come with me without missing school! Everyone wins! My friend’s eyes widened with shock and horror. “You’re taking her with you to Boston?!?” Well, yes. I never considered NOT taking her. → Read More

Running and Sleep
Last year I had the great privilege of interviewing Kara Goucher and Shalane Flanagan as they were training together for the 2013 Boston Marathon. My boss, John Atwood, was very curious about how the two could train together to race against each other and still be friends. “Ask them if they hang out together when they’re not running,” he said. “What do they do at night?” “What do you do at night?”… → Read More
I'm SO Hungry!
"EATING AT MY DESK: Toasted multi-grain English muffin with peanut butter and honey, hard-boiled egg, blueberries, two breakfast cookies, half tuna sandwich, cup of tomato soup, carrots, celery, pickles. It's only 1:40, and I’m still hungry!” Because she’s in front of a classroom of 20+ eagle-eyed first-graders watching her every move, Fast Teacher Friend can not eat all day long. Because I am not,… → Read More
5 Reasons to LOVE the Treadmill!
In this snowiest winter the mid-Atlantic region has seen in 20 years, almost all of us at Runner’s World have been forced by icy conditions to run on the treadmill (except maybe @RWGearguy Jeff Dengate). → Read More
COLD COLD COLD
“Cold cold cold cold.” That scene in Frozen where Princess Anna falls off her horse, slides down a snow-covered mountain, falls into a freezing stream, and then walks to a beckoning hut in her frozen full-length gown and heels. I’ve seen Frozen twice in the theater because what else is a marathoning mom supposed to do with her 9-year-old daughter on a Sunday afternoon when it’s COLD COLD COLD COLD?… → Read More

OH SNOW!
“REEEEE-laxxxxx.” That is possibly the most annoying thing to say to a Type A runner attempting to train for a spring marathon like Big Sur through this record-setting climate-crazy Polar Vortex snowy Frozen winter. “Relax! It’s just a training plan. You have to be willing to be flexible.” That's what I said last week. SO annoying, right? I annoy myself. → Read More
Must. Follow. Plan.
“I’m worried,” said my friend. When Susan first mentioned running Big Sur marathon, I got so excited. “Yes! Yes!” I said. “Do it, it’s beautiful, it’s fun, and I’ll run it too! We’ll have so much FUN!” But if she ran Big Sur, what about Boston? Susan had qualified for Boston—but not with a huge margin—so she wasn’t sure she would get in. The problem was, she had to sign up for Big Sur BEFORE Boston… → Read More
Here We Go Again!
Big Sur is a marathon I swore I’d NEVER do. A friend who ran it told me it was beautiful, went up scenic Highway 1 on the Pacific Coastline, was a little hilly, that I should expect to add about 20 minutes to my usual marathon time, and it was really beautiful. “Hills. Slow” was all I heard. I hate hills, and I don’t need any help going slow. No way, no how. So guess what I’m doing on April… → Read More

Life of a BQ Squeaker
