One run at a time. Boston 2014 – Part 2 of 2. April 29, 2014. The Race (aka, the good stuff, in case you’ve opted to bypass Part 1. Click HERE. For Part 1.). I’M DOING IT. I’M RUNNING THE BOSTON MARATHON, I thought to myself. I ran down the opening hill and wasted no time slapping hands with spectators. I didn’t realize there would be so many people in Hopkinton! And everyone was so excited to be there! High fives for everyone! They’re cheering for me! 7:25, 7:21, 7:21, 7:22, 7:22. I BEGAN PEEING MY PANT...

One run at a time. December 9, 2015. December 10, 2015. When I started running this summer post- femur injury. I pretty much felt like I was starting from scratch. In fact…over the course of last year, I felt like I was. Starting from scratch. Speed was hard. Tempo was hard. Distance was hard. Running was just really freaking hard. Boston. I instagrammed this picture over the summer:. Don’t let the abs deceive you. I was not in shape. The plan was to run Hartford. I’m now training under someone loc...

2014 NYC Half | itsamarython

https://itsamarython.com/2014/04/25/2014-nyc-half

One run at a time. April 25, 2014. I just want to be somewhere around where I was in the fall. Maybe, like, a 1:29. That’s what I said to Josh when he asked what I thought I’d run at the NYC Half. Then he gave me an obscure number, as he always does before races. That number was 1:28:15, which would be a 19-second PR for me. Oh boy. Was I was dead wrong. So enthusiastic. Always. Well the NYC Half was SO different. I met up with the group. As I pushed my way to the front, I saw and introduced myself to Meg.

Thoughts Before Boston | itsamarython

https://itsamarython.com/2015/04/08/thoughts-before-boston

One run at a time. April 8, 2015. April 8, 2015. This year is completely different. This year is about a comeback, and I’m not just strictly talking about coming back from injuries. At one point towards the end of last year, my coach. Said to me, “you haven’t been yourself for quite a long time, and you need to do what’s best for you and get her back.” And he was completely right. I won’t beat around the bush. Who doesn’t love to hear THE GOAL! THE BELOVED TIME GOAL. What time are you going for? But your...

https://itsamarython.com/2013/06

One run at a time. June 27, 2013. I signed up for the Fairfield Half. On a whim: I figured it would be a good way of staying in shape after the NJ Marathon, and I’d run it for fun. I also went to school at Fairfield University; so the area is familiar to me, and I used to run on some of the same roads the half marathon routed through. But after doing so well at NJM. In March, and I knew I should at least be able to break 1:35. The night prior to the half, I hosted Sam, one of the Gotham. I started sweati...

Connect with Me / As Seen On. Recipes, Restaurants & Reviews. Newer posts →. January 19, 2015 · 12:29 am. Boston Marathon Training Thoughts. Training so far…. I want to approach training with an attitude that allows me to complete my weekly runs with gratitude. I want to enjoy the training as much as I will enjoy the race weekend itself. Now that we are 13 weeks out, I have been “base building” for the past 2 weeks and will continue until next Monday Jan 26 when I will start my 12 week plan. I cure mysel...

One run at a time. July 9, 2016. July 11, 2016. This is your one and only warning: buckle down for a long, emotional post, providing myself with some much-needed catharsis…and providing the 2 or 3 of you who read this whole thing: a look into the unraveling of my 7th marathon. Directly following the race, I was really upset. Someone said to me the week before Buffalo that “you just don’t get a second chance at the playoffs. Why are you running another marathon so close to Boston? But the dissatisfaction ...
