It was a good week and so much fun to run “with” all of you. By my count we had nine states, six time zones and four countries represented. We absolutely nailed the “global” piece of it and had two other states and a country who weren’t able to get pics in. It was also… Read More »
If you follow me on twitter, you already know I was a happy little clam at Linda Fairstein’s book signing. I’d say meeting, but this is at least the fifth year I’ve gone, according to her inscription on Terminal City. They’re usually summer releases so this was a nice treat. As I was browsing the… Read More »
Because that is really all I did this week. I keep saying I need to get back to my morning walks, and maybe one day I really will. On the book front: Daniel Silva The Cellist (review TK this week), Stephen King/Richard Chizmar’s Gwendy’s Button Box, Gwendy’s Magic Feather and Kevin Chapman’s Fatal Infraction. Mysteries… Read More »
So much reading this week. I finished Tommy Tomlinson’s excellent The Elephant in the Room, am reading Tom Piazza’s Why New Orleans Matters ahead of a visit to New Orleans and on Tuesday night went to Dr. Jill Biden’s 92nd Street Y event for Where the Light Enters. I love having allthebooks going at once,… Read More »
because they were basically the only running of the last two three weeks… Linking up with Kim and Deborah. Happy belated Hanukkah to all who celebrate (Yes, this was supposed to post last week) I normally don’t let the gala eat into my running time, but life happens and sometimes, sleep is the priority. Then… Read More »
If you missed it – and I don’t blame you, because it was a #TravelTuesday on a Friday!, I posted about my trip to Italy. Linking up with Kim and Deborah for a Weekly-ish Run Down: ETA: missed the linkup, but posting anyway. Double ETA: and then I was offline and missed it entirely so now it’s… Read More »
It has been a good last twelve months for running reads: Molly Huddle and Sara Slattery’s How She Did It, Lauren Fleshman’s Good for a Girl, Alison Mariela Desir’s Running While Black in fall 2022 and then Kara Goucher and Des Linden’s books in March and April, respectively. I said somewhere that I was glad their… Read More »
The highlight of a good week. This has been the reason so many office run groups have been noted as a schedule conflict. But it all paid off as the NY/NJ bid moved forward as a host city for 2026. So glad to celebrate the announcement in person at a watch party in Liberty State… Read More »
with a Florida vacation making up much of the latter. It was a delightful disconnect with no laptop, but I’ll have my race recap up soon. GoTheDist February 2022: 378,460 steps 177.52 miles run/walked 90.55 miles run Thanks, mild February. Ten more miles running and 48K more steps than last year. Not even the post-Florida… Read More »
Meant to mention this last week and I forgot. Listened to Victoria Sekely on the Strength Running podcast and it was amazing look at the role between prehab and PT and why strength training makes for better runners. Personally what applied the most to me is that I stayed uninjured. Without strength training, which included… Read More »
