You asked, I answered! I chose eight questions to answer about the Leadville Trail Marathon and Leadville Trail Heavy Half Marathon (15.5 miles) – both beautiful and fun, yet very challenging races. Please comment on this post or reach out to me on IG if you have any other questions 🙂 *I am a 5x…… Continue reading Leadville Trail Marathon & Heavy Half Q&A
Next weekend, I’ll be running (well, running and climbing) the Leadville Trail Marathon in Leadville, CO in memory of my brother, Robert. Many family members and friends join us every year to either do the marathon, the heavy-half (15.5 miles), or to cheer.

The day after the B.A.A. Half Marathon, I ran the Tufts Health Plan 10K for Women. I know…it might sound a little (or very) crazy, but I love the runner’s high. So why not?! The 10K took place on Columbus Day at the Boston Common, and unlike on Sunday, it was blue sky. It was…… Continue reading Tufts Health Plan 10K for Women
