Happy Monday! After celebrating my birthday for the whole weekend, it was time to settle down and start eating right again! But, boy, was it fun! Thanks for all the great wishes! On the news this morning, I heard today was the Boston Marathon. While most of us were happy about the above-normal temperatures, I [...]

I made it! I finished! Crossing that finish line, arms held high and smiling for the camera, I hugged Darren with tears streaming down my face. I did it – that’s all I could think about. I was physically and emotionally drained. Smiling and crying at the same time, I hugged my dear, dear friend Stephanie who ran [...]

Today is my birthday! I love celebrating my birthday and enjoying the day with family and friends. I even made cupcakes yesterday, but it was so I could eat the cake batter, not the cupcakes! There’s no calories in cake until it’s cooked, right?! I love getting cards, e-mails and reading Facebook posts. Every single [...]

After a week of taking it really easy, stretching, icing and only a little bit of running (very little), I felt ready to tackle 8 miles on Saturday. But since I wasn’t overly confident, I ran inside, on the treadmill. I actually felt pretty good, and was pleased at my pace. My back had kind [...]

For the past 3 months plus now, I have been running and training for the NJ Marathon on May 1st. I’ve been feeling healthy and fit. I’m eating better (most of the time) and sleeping better. Even though I would say I would run and train “as long as my body held up,” I never really [...]
