Walkway Over The Hudson
I am sure that this location looks very different right now, a few days after Sandy. I was in Poughkeepsie at the beginning of October and had the opportunity to walk on the Walkway Over The Hudson.

My Thoughts on the NYC Marathon
I am a runner. I am not running the NYC Marathon. I would love to run that marathon some day but, even if I was registered, I would not run the NYC Marathon this year. In September of 2011, my area was hit by flooding. These were very severe floods. I was looking to run… Continue reading My Thoughts on the NYC Marathon
Online Learning
What do you think about online learning? Colleges have been utilizing online resources for years. Many are better known for their online courses than their brick and mortar location. Some of the most prestigious universities in the country, such as Stanford, allow people to take any course online for free (no degree). I’ve taken online… Continue reading Online Learning
Foodie Pen Pal Reveal
I am reading a few reveals. I hate the first time I do something as I am always afraid I will do it incorrectly. My guess, after reading several reviews, is there is no wrong way to do a reveal. I was really excited when I came home one rainy October day to find a… Continue reading Foodie Pen Pal Reveal
College Students, Parents and Weather Disasters
I could do an emergency preparedness post. As a matter of fact, I have one almost done. It is just not what I want, though. I want to talk about the area that I did not think about and spent a good deal of time worrying over as Sandy approached. I have children, six adult… Continue reading College Students, Parents and Weather Disasters
What Did You Do This Past Weekend?
The weekend was a wonderful time. I don’t think I saw sun all weekend even though the weather people said we were going to have a sunny Friday. It was warm but no sun in sight. As a matter of fact, I don’t remember the last time I saw that bright yellow ball in the… Continue reading What Did You Do This Past Weekend?
Racing into 2013
How far in advance do you plan your races? I’ve been guilty of registering months in advance – mostly to take advantage of lower registration fees. I’ve also been guilty of registering the morning of the race – mostly for short (5Ks), local races. I am sitting here at the end of October 2012 and… Continue reading Racing into 2013
Runner’s World Half & Festival Recap III – The Race
Sunday morning came way too early for me. I did not sleep well Saturday at the hotel but I did feel rested when I finally got out of bed at 4 am. I figured there was no sense in tossing in bed any longer. My hotel room had a kitchenette in it so I got… Continue reading Runner’s World Half & Festival Recap III – The Race
Runner’s World Half and Festival Recap II
It’s really almost all #RunChat! Saturday morning arrived earlier than necessary as I was to report to the volunteer check-in a half hour before my shift began. That meant figuring out how to get to the expo area and this was a good thing as getting there meant I could get to the parking lot… Continue reading Runner’s World Half and Festival Recap II
Runner’s World Half & Festival Recap I
Yes, I know. I already know this is going to be a two parter so why not be up front with you all. I have never been to a race where there was a festival attached so I think this deserves two separate posts for a lot of reasons. First, hats off to Runner’s World!… Continue reading Runner’s World Half & Festival Recap I
