On Monday I began my training for the Philadelphia Marathon. I sort of look at it as my New Year, I set intentions, make a plan and on the start of training day I find myself making personal changes (hopefully for the better) to my daily life. I have been trying for at least one... Continue Reading →
Training to Train
Training for any upcoming race is one of my favorite parts of my running experience. Sure, I have now become in my mind an "actual" runner meaning that I will go out for a run even when I'm not in training, but just for the love of running, keeping up my fitness, to work off... Continue Reading →
Happy July!!
HI! So the summer is now in full swing, and with my Yoga Teacher Training done, I feel like singing "school's out for summer" but I'm not leaving school far behind since I signed up for not 1 but 2 yoga workshops in July (and then there is my Masters degree I must finish, so... Continue Reading →
I Run to Finish, Not for Time (Except When I Do, Like I Don’t Know… Always)
I still consider myself a novice runner. Yes, I have finished 2 marathons and countless (ok I could count them, but there are a good amount) Half-Marathons in my 3 years of running, but I don't think of myself as any expert and really think I'm still a newbie. When I first started running, I... Continue Reading →
Birthdays Are the Time for Resolutions
OK, I know, it's been a few weeks since my last post. I don't have a great excuse, and that's ok. I'm sorry if you missed me but I'm back. If you follow me on Instagram or Facebook (which I hope you do), you may know that it was my birthday on Monday. And not... Continue Reading →

Music(less) Monday – Thoughts from the More Fitness Shape Half
Every Monday I have posted about my love of music while running, and in yoga, songs I recommend, and working on playlists, etc. etc. The past Sunday was the More Fitness Shape Women's Half Marathon, and as I was getting ready for bed Saturday night I realized I hadn't finished my list. So I grabbed... Continue Reading →
April 15
As a Boston Girl, today is a day that weighs heavy on my heart, so I would be remiss if I didn't post something. On this anniversary of the Boston Marathon bombings, I send out my love and thoughts to all affected by the events on April 15, 2013. While I did not have any... Continue Reading →
Music Monday – Run the World (Girls)
With less than 4 weeks until the More/Fitness/Shape Half, I started working on my playlist yesterday. It's a run in NYC so there will probably be some NY-themed music, but it's an all women's run, so I think I should have some girl band and girl power music. First up, "The Warrior" by Scandal. I've... Continue Reading →
Music Monday – Play(list) It Again
My "running season" starts in 5 weeks with my 1st Half of 2015, More Fitness Shape Women's Half, and while I was on my long training run this weekend it struck me that I have to start my playlist for the Half. Even though I have a great training music mix, I like to create... Continue Reading →
