Originally I had planned a nice little rant for today. In my grumpy, injured state, all I wanted to do was complain about the dumb fitness-related cliches/sayings that people use all the time as moti...
Fact Number 1: Not running for long periods of time can be depressing. But we already covered that one. Fact Number 2: You will never want to run so badly as you do when you are sidelined because of ...
Just a quick, last minute PSA in case you haven’t heard… Tonight is the premiere of a new HBO documentary called The Weight of the Nation. This four-part documentary is a collaboration be...
Thank you all for not dismissing me as a spoiled, whiny brat after my last post. (And if you thought it, thanks for at least keeping it to yourself). I appreciated every single comment, as well as th...
You may have noticed that I haven’t really blogged much lately. (And if you haven’t, that’s okay. I know you all have actual lives that involve more than refreshing my blog for a ne...
Thank you all for your wonderful, thoughtful comments on my last post. Missing Boston (again!) this year was tough. Yes, I know the temperature was sweltering and not conducive to a PR. And yes, I sa...
For the past several weeks, I have been living in denial about the Boston Marathon. At first, I convinced myself that the pain I was feeling in my knee was just something minor that I would get over ...
Last August, I had the opportunity to be a part of the inaugural Nuun Hood to Coast team. To say it was the experience of a lifetime is an understatement. Not only have I paraded around race courses ...
Well hello there. It’s been awhile. Almost an entire month of silence. And while a lot has happened, in some ways it seems as though everything has remained the same. Since there’s no rea...
It’s been a full week since my last post. And in that time, crazy things have been happening in {ontherun} land. I know I have alluded to some big changes that may (or may not) be going down ar...
In no particular order and for no particular reason… You’re probably tired of hearing me whine about it by now, but my arch/ankle/whatever-the-heck-i s-going-on isn’t exactly healed ...
Edited to add a quick note: I know I mostly ramble about running these days, but my blog has been nominated as Fitness Magazine’s Best Healthy Living Blog. So…if you like my blog, would y...
I’m not a card player. I think I’ve maybe played poker one time in my entire life and wasn’t exactly a natural at it. This is why it’s funny that of all the rational statement...
As you all know by now, Sunday was supposed to be my first race of the season – and my very first race as a Saucony Hurricane. Instead, it was my first real DNS (did not start). Not quite as ex...
This weekend, I’ll be returning to Hyannis to run my first race of 2012. And until this past Monday, I hadn’t actually given much thought to the race at all. In fact, I sort of forgot tha...
Life has been a bit all over the place lately, and you may have noticed that my already irregular blogging schedule has become even more sporadic. One of these days I vow to be the type of blogger th...
Yes, I know. That title is amazing. I am currently for hire as a “blog title writer.” Gotta make extra money for that wedding, you know. — Fact #1: Long runs are tough. Fact #2: The...
I don’t know what’s come over me, but I’ve been on some sort of huge runner’s high all week. For a girl who is coming off a weekend of skipped runs due to sickness, on top of ...
Remember last summer when I talked about hating morning running and then made a big public commitment to actually try it out? Well, that didn’t exactly last long. I half-heartedly slogged throu...
First – sometimes I like the comments on my posts better than the post itself! Tuesday’s post was one of those. Second – before you read this new post, be prepared that it may be a ...
Runners are a unique and quirky bunch. In fact, one of the things that I love most about this sport is that it unites people from so many different walks of life. We come in all different shapes and ...
Dear Asics, I have a confession to make. I have been cheating on you. Big time. Anyone who knows me and my history as a runner will know what a big deal that last statement was. I grew up in Asics, a...
Thank you for the encouragement on my last post. Even if some of you feel like I need to shut up and suck it up already (it’s okay, you can say it!), it does help to know that others feel the s...
Miles driven this past weekend: 811 Miles run: 0 Amount of things wrong with this picture: too many to count — I have a lot of excuses to explain my lack of running over the long weekend (no ti...
I’ve talked about this before, but Garmins can be a mixed blessing. The feedback from them is great. And sometimes, when I look down and see a number that I like (whether it be pace or miles), ...
Otherwise known as the day I decided to run all races of 2012 in a veil. This weekend was one of many firsts: First race of 2012 First ever 10K First ever NYRR race First road race I’ve run wit...
One thing that is equally wonderful and awful about having a blog where you openly chronicle your running is that it keeps you accountable for your actions…both your accomplishments AND your fa...
Well hello there! Happy 2012! I’ve been neglecting this blog of mine for far too long now. As much as I love blogging, it’s funny how easy it is to stop updating once I fall out of the ha...
This past week has been a bit of a whirlwind. I didn’t really plan to take a week long hiatus from social media, but right before Christmas, something completely unexpected and incredibly excit...
[Edited to add: I forgot to mention that I ran this race without my Garmin or any sort of watch. Garmins tend to be inaccurate on trails anyway. It was weird to run an entire race without any feedbac...
