If you only know me from what I post about running, cycling, and triathlon, it would probably be pretty easy to assume that I spend all of my time training. Some days it feels like I do. There is always another run to get in, another bike ride, another swim, another class to teach, or […]
On November 1, 2026, I’m going to run the New York City Marathon. Writing that still sounds a little crazy. 26.2 miles through all five boroughs of New York City is a pretty big thing to sign up for, especially when you know exactly how much training goes into it. But this year I wanted

Getting ready for my annual PT test is no fun at all. I’m not a huge fan of running, and when I do run, I don’t care about speed. Except for the PT Test, where I have to run as fast as I can for 1.5 miles. So, every year, I have to focus on
