I’m a 40-something mother of two, living and running in Marin County, CA. I began this blog while training for the Portland, OR Marathon (October 6, 2013) both to hold myself accountable for training and to have a written chronicle of my experience. I discovered a lot of things about myself throughout the 18 weeks of marathon preparation, not the least of which is how much I appreciate the process of experience sharing via blogging.
Follow me on my running escapades, adventures in motherhood, and pontifications about life. I promise to keep you entertained, often at my own expense.


The feeling you get after a good run is already so good. I can’t imagine how people feel after a marathon… Congratz, you must really like what you are doing 🙂
Thanks! I do, most of the time 🙂
