If at First You Don’t Succeed…

If at First You Don’t Succeed… There aren’t many friends who know the story behind my high school nickname but I was reminded of it just last week. Sometime after my first and last attempt to water ski, our high school Chemistry teacher, Weaver, started calling me Mish-mash. It was a friendly term to describe […]

The Perfect Fit

Finding the Perfect Fit A few weeks ago I went out for my longest run ever, a 17 miler!  At mile 13, I felt this pain in my calf and tried to be hard core and press on, but the pain was so bad I literally could not run.  I had to walk 2 miles […]

Relax and Run

Finding the Passion In Running It has been almost a month since I fulfilled my lifelong dream of completing a marathon. Sometimes I have to pinch myself to remember that this is real and that I don’t have to fret, worry, plan, anticipate or dream about that day in October, 2013. I don’t have to […]

Found Myself Running: Greater than the Sum of my Parts…

Making My Dream a Reality It is not likely that many who happen to pass Corral L at the starting line of the Chicago Marathon on October 13, 2013, will even notice the older, overweight woman with a look of terror in her eyes who will be shifting nervously from foot to foot. She will […]
