Be Kind To Yourself

by

One of the great struggles I’m having in reclaiming my life as a runner is being kind to myself. There’s a voice in my head that says terrible things. Things that I would never say to anyone else. Things like “you’re so out of shape” or “you are so slow” or “you are so fat”. … Read more

Reclaiming My Life

by

One of the things I see my clients struggle with after an injury is accepting who they are instead of comparing themselves to who they were. This is hard. They remember when they could walk.

Hartford Marathon Review

by

The Hartford Marathon is a great race.

I ran the Hartford Half Marathon in 2009 and 2010. This year it was time to step up to the marathon (my second marathon overall). The Hartford Marathon Foundation (HMF) puts on a fantastic race. I’ve run a number of their 5ks and the Amica Half Marathon.
