So, turns out I haven’t been that great of a blogger lately, but I decided that the weekly workout recap is non-negotiable. It’s great for holding myself accountable to make goals and stick to them.
I realized that I’ve been struggling to get my long runs in on Sundays, because I’ve been heavily skewing my [...]

Posted in Q&A Tuesday, Running, tagged favorite season, healthy soup, increasing speed, Running, working out on March 10, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
Wow, there really have not been a lot of blog posts from me lately, due in large part to busy-ness with work, running, frolicking in Central Park, and all sorts of other delightful things.
So I’m back with some awesome questions from Felicia, as well as a mini weekly workout recap before the week gets away from [...]
The World’s Greatest

No matter what you think about R. Kelly (and, for the record, I think he’s a creep), “The World’s Greatest” is a pretty spectacular pump up song for any athletic endeavor. And at several points on Sunday, I looked over at Felicia, and I felt like I was watching a montage of some sort, with [...]
RACE DAY: I DID IT!!!

OMG. What a glorious day!!
This is going to be a quick post, but I just wanted to let everyone know that I did successfully run the New Orleans Half Marathon today.

Not so shabby!!
It wasn’t all rainbows and sunshine, and I definitely seriously struggled at times. BUT it was truly wonderful and such an amazing experience [...]
I Mean, It’s Only Been Your Goal for Six Weeks.

That’s what Chris (Felicia’s fiance) said to me Thursday night when I victoriously entered the apartment, proclaiming that I had FINALLY done it and attended a Central Park Track Club workout!!
Right when I had “run out of excuses,” the Blizzard of 2010 provided me with an excellent one! As someone prone to catastrophic falls, both while running [...]
Why Do You Do It??

Felicia’s comments in this post have really gotten me thinking over the past few weeks. Specifically, towards the end of the post, she said ”Running is wonderful, but I know that combining it with more strength training will result in the leaner look that I’d prefer.” Reading that sentence resulted in that weird feeling that you get when you’re [...]
Gettin’ Speedy

Currently, I’m not training hard for a specific marathon (NYC is next, I think!!). I’m running a half in the end of February with Felicia, but I’m not going to try to go crazy, so the next big race on my calendar is a half with my sister in April. In the interim, I’m working [...]
Megan’s Weekly Workout Recap

So, I’m back with a weekly workout recap! The week after the marathon I did about five minutes on the elliptical one day, did a 3 and a 4.5 mile run, and did a real cross training day with 45 minutes on the elliptical. I was feeling pretty good about myself for actually getting some workouts [...]
Marathon Training in Review
Posted in Running, Uncategorized, tagged Running, training plan on January 17, 2010 | 3 Comments »
With the marathon a week behind me, I decided I’ve had sufficient time to ruminate on my training. Here’s some thoughts I have to share, which should be helpful if anyone is thinking of trying to qualify for Boston–or hit any goal time!
Have a goal. Having a goal time in mind is pretty important. I [...]
Happiest Place on Earth!

Just wanted to let you know that Disney World really is the happiest place on earth. I finally got my Boston qualifier with 3:34:20! I’ll be back on Tuesday with a full report! Now I’m off to Pleasure Island (hehehe) for the world’s most delicious candy apple!
