What Now?
Ever have this question haunt you? It has been following me for about a week now. I received good news about some medical test results, both of which came back normal. Of course I am relieved, but what now? It is hard to know exactly where to go next. All I know is I want to be myself again. After an appointment with a Holistic RN that offers her expertise to my employer’s wellness center, … Read entire article »

Half Way There
Completing week 9 out of an 18 week training schedule has me half way to Hopkinton. Eek! Of course I would be lying if I said I was not going to be nervous come race day, but overall I am feeling good about everything at the moment. I’ve been keeping up with both Chiropractic and PT to keep things moving the way they are suppose to. I’ve been sticking to my clean diet of wholesome food to … Read entire article »

The Slow Gain
I had a less than successful visit with my health coach this week. Don’t get me wrong it had nothing to do with Greg, he was motivating and encouraging as ever, it was all me. And the scale! I’ve been struggling to hit my calories. At this point in my training I should be at least 1800 to 2000 calories per day yet I repeatedly get 1400-1500 per day. I managed when my mileage was 25/week, but even the extra 5 mile jump has put me in a fatigued state. When I under eat, I gain weight. Strange as it sounds, it’s true. I’ve been working on ways to incorporate another easy 200 calories of clean fuel per day. I keep searching for a whole food bar with really good … Read entire article »

Dark Day of Winter
Our New England weather as been mild to say the least. Until Friday that is. We got about an inch on Friday, but it had stopped before my morning run leaving me a nice snow cushioned path. Saturday, however we were hit with our first real snow storm of the season. I believe it was around 5-7 inches by the time it finally stopped. Unfortunately I got a late start for my run and it was just beginning to snow when I left. By the time I got back the streets were covered and it was coming down at a furious rate. If only I had gotten out the hour earlier I anticipated I would have all but missed it. Either way I enjoyed the miles. I have to say … Read entire article »

An Olympic Boost
It has been a hectic week. I’ve been feeling the pressure of work which makes me a little less focused on training. I finished the week mentally drained. For me running is more mental than physical. More often than not it is my attitude, not my body, that dictates my will to run. What I needed was a little boost. A little encouragement. Some inspiration. And I got it in the form of the Houston … Read entire article »
