I woke up at 5:15 the morning of the race, and I felt great. I clearly should go to bed at 9 PM more often.
For most of the weekend I was pretty calm about the race. I actually think going to an awesome city like New Orleans for my first race helped a [...]

Megan’s Weekly Workout Recap
Posted in Uncategorized on February 9, 2010 | 6 Comments »
Oh hey!! I’m BACK and better than ever with my weekly workout recap. Last week was…interesting, annoying, and delightful. It was interesting and annoying because I had this super super disgusting cough. The kind that makes people on the subway give you judging looks and move away from you. Despite the SUPER gross wheezing pneumonia-sounding cough, [...]
Marathon Training in Review

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 [...]

So, I’m finally back in lovely NYC with my race recap, but I’m somewhat at a loss for words still.
The race seems like a blur and I still kind of can’t believe that I ran a marathon in 3:34 (and 20 seconds). Despite the fuzziness of it all, here goes my attempt at describing it.
I [...]
Felicia’s New Year’s Resolutions?

I hate New Year’s Resolutions.
Ok. Hate is a strong word. I don’t hate New Year’s Resolutions, but I definitely don’t love them.
I will be careful with my words on this one because I don’t want to offend people, and I most certainly don’t judge anyone who highly values them; HOWEVER, they do bother me in [...]

As I mentioned in my Q&A Tuesday post, I adore New Year’s resolutions. I figure posting them here is as good a way as any to hold myself accountable.
Figure out my life path. I alluded to this before, but I’m facing some big life decisions this year (namely, whether or not to go to law [...]

TWO WEEKS AND SIX DAYS UNTIL THE MARATHON!!! I seriously seriously seriously cannot believe it. I’ve never done so well with my training, so I’m hoping it will pay off in 20 days. EEk!! This week was my highest mileage week ever, and it made me feel super bad-ass that I ran 18 miles in [...]

Thursday: Speed workout – This was supposed to be a 1 mile warm-up, 2 miles at 7:55-8:23 pace, with a [...]

I’m very happy to report that this week went WAY better than last week. It turned out that a big part of why I was feeling so sluggish last week wasn’t laziness (or mono, as I briefly feared), but BAD VISION! Long story short, it turns out that I was allergic to my contact material [...]
