Today, I’m linking up with the Friday Five crew, Mar, Cynthia, and Courtney for a post that takes you and shares what I was up to ten years ago. Looking back a decade sounded like too much fun to pass up and a great opportunity to reminisce…. It’s honestly so hard to believe how much has changed in those ten years of life. I graduated from college in Rhode Island, worked as a paralegal until I moved across the country from Connecticut {Read More}
So, a while back, my running group here at West Point decided to sign up for the 2015 West Point “Fallen Comrades” Half Marathon. I immediately signed up since the memorial run honors fallen graduates of the United States Military Academy and is home turf. Well, fast forward to last weekend and it was race day! Despite not running long since the Disney Glass Slipper Challenge, I thought I would go ahead and run it for fun. And, with the {Read More}
Today, I’m linking up with Mar, Courtney, and Cynthia to tell you my favorite things about running on West Point.

Thankfully, Jake was able to stay behind and rejoin his squadron two weeks after the birth of our daughter, Cora. I’m {Read More}
NYC Marathon Training Week 9 and 10 are in the books and I’m a little delayed on posting my recap! I can finally say that I am having a bit of an upswing in training! I’m still not where I want/need to be with mileage but things are definitely improving. Right now, I am still making sure I get plenty of rest between runs and not pushing the pace or mileage. Overall, I am happy with my progress but I don’t {Read More}
Honestly, at this point, I feel silly even titling these blog posts NYC Marathon training. Just when I started feeling good again, something else happened in Week #7…. Sigh… Week #7. August 4 - 10 Monday: 3.18 Miles (Easy) - 31:45/9:59 - It felt really good to get the blood flowing after Beach to Beacon. This loop from my office around West Point’s campus provides a couple nice climbs. I’m trying to make more of an effort to bring my {Read More}
