It's been almost a week since my last post where I was a little depressed about taking a step back in my latest comeback attempt.  But since then things have been pretty good.  I ran last Thursday after having taken 2 days off.  In that run I decided to truly experiment with a forefoot landing.

Well, that was fast.  Only 2 runs into my latest comeback, and literally the same day I last posted about how I only need 2 pathetic runs per week to equal the pathetic total miles I ran in 2013, I felt like I aggravated my foot a little bit!  Felt the start of a twinge

This is the second straight year that my running has been severely curbed by foot injury.  After a string of 4 years in a row where I ran at least 700 miles each year, topping out at 1071 miles in 2010, once my body turned 40 in 2011, it refused to let injuries go away

I loved the coverage this weekend of the millionth finisher of the NYC Marathon.  Just a great milestone for a truly great race in a truly great city.  And I'm so happy to see the actual millionth finisher is just a regular runner like you or me: a Mom, resident of NYC, and a back-of-the-packer.

I recently wrote about how I was doing push-ups as a cross-training exercise using the new Hundred Pushups iPhone app.  Now that I've been using it for a few weeks, it is time to share some of my disappointments, to temper the positives vibes of my initial post. First off, no doubt it is very

I've been frustrated the last couple of years with injuries and still am not fully better.  Despite that, I recently ran a half marathon, and even last week completed a 4 mile run even though my foot was hurting.  Not smart. In the Nov/Dec issue of Marathon & Beyond, there was a very interesting article

It's been just over a week since I wrote a couple of posts outlining my two primary cross-training activities right now.   And I'm happy to see that I've continued along the path during that time!  In the last week I've been to the gym twice for my Every Angle Assault workout, and done 3
