This is a dream come true, as I turn 40 this fall and wanted to mark the milestone with something to prove to myself …

It all started with this New York Times article about barefoot running that was published in 2011. I’d heard about barefoot running from some friends and seen the funky looking “toe shoes” around my local running trail. You know the ones: …
[et_pb_section admin_label=”section”][et_pb_row admin_label=”row”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text”] I posted a few months ago that I was training to run the Falmouth Road Race as part of Boston Children’s Hospital Miles for Miracles Team.

[et_pb_section admin_label=”section”][et_pb_row admin_label=”row”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text”] As a former Bostonian and a four-time Boston Marathoner, I am saddened deeply by today’s cowardly acts. The perpetrator chose to attack one of America’s finest traditions, an event unifies people of all races, nationalities, and socio-economic backgrounds. Just as I was celebrating the amazing world-record run by Joan Benoit …
[et_pb_section admin_label=”section”][et_pb_row admin_label=”row”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text”] I’ve mentioned before that I don’t listen to music when I run. This isn’t some grand philosophy about maximizing muscle recruitment or anything– I just don’t like wearing headphones.

[et_pb_section admin_label=”section”][et_pb_row admin_label=”row”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text”] Last fall, our family’s weekly fitness plans included a lot of long runs for my husband. He was training for the 3M Austin Half Marathon. His training went extremely well, and he was hopeful for a good race day. For anyone who has watched or participated in a distance event, …
I love being a runner, especially when on vacation. I need pack only my shoes, and I’m ready to go. Running affords me a view of places that non-pedestrians never encounter.
