Training + Racing
My love for running – and all that it adds to my life – is something I find stronger from each run I endure. As my crazy passion for running grows with each pair of Asics I retire, I find myself stronger physically – hey there, leg muscles! – and mentally. I hope you find this page useful towards your own running/fitness inspiration and endeavors.

Congrats on your first two halfs! Those are AWESOME times! I am running my first half-marathon on October 2nd (East Hampton, NY), and then my 2nd marathon on October 17th (Baystate Marathon). I am *hoping* to beat 2 hrs and 4 hrs respectively, but we’ll see what happens. I am using the Run Less, Run Faster program (just started this week!), and am hopeful that it will get me some good results since I have never really been much of a speed demon. Good luck with your training!
Your 1/2 times are so awesome!!
I’m training for the California International Marathon w/ Nike Women’s Half being my target 1/2 marathon. Good luck to you. Seems like you are on track for a great time.
Thanks, and same to you!
The half marathon is my ultimate goal. I can’t even imagine running one in hilly San Francisco.
