Goals. They may change over time, but setting them always has a magical way of providing much needed direction — especially at times in life when you’re otherwise lost. Knowing that I am writing this in the shadow of this post, I want to say at the outset that 2012 has otherwise been a wonderful year, […]

Yesterday I told a story that was remarkably easy for me to tell. It was also remarkably sad to read. There are things about my situation that I simply cannot change — not right now, at least. Financial commitments like student loans and rent keep me from simply quitting my job. Then, there is also […]
If you dream big and your dreams come true, then you’re lucky. If you have done everything right and have gotten the right result, then you’re lucky. If you work hard to make things happen and they actually happen, then you’re lucky. And you’re also not me. When I was three years old, I made […]
Before it even began, yesterday promised to be a crazy day. Due to a family matter, my husband and I would be spending the day on Long Island with family and friends at a house that was dark and cold without heat or power as a result of this week’s Nor’easter. Knowing that we were planning […]
I started writing this blog at the peak of election season, so it has been a bit of a challenge to keep myself from writing about politics. This is not a political blog, and I will not by any means claim to be sufficiently well informed to blog regularly and thoughtfully about politics. There are […]
This morning, I woke up ten minutes before my alarm clock. I layered, warmed up, and headed to Central Park for a six mile run with ten one-minute aerobic intervals. I returned home and got ready for work. Work was pretty mellow today, so I took a bit of a longer lunch so that I could […]
This morning, I set my alarm for the new seven o’clock and headed toward Central Park. I was unsure what I would find when I got there, but committed to running my usual 15k weekend long run. It is no secret now that the New York City Marathon, scheduled for today, was cancelled. But what […]
This morning, the results of the July 2012 New York State bar examination were released. I am pleased for all of the applicants that scores were released early this year. In years passed, scores typicaly came down much closer to Thanksgiving, which had the effect of turning one’s holiday season in to one of boastfulness […]
Boo! When I decided to start a blog, one of the things that I resolved to write about is the state of my profession. Yet, when I started writing, I found it easier to write almost exclusively about running. I love running and it is a great source of inspiration for me. In fact, there […]
Tuesdays are for speedwork. I would imagine that most runners have training plans. The plans could be as simple as something devised on a personal level to accomodate your schedule, or an official training plan prescribed by a coach, a book, or a magazine. Mine is loosely adapted from a half marathon training guide that […]
