A journey through motherhood, running, and life.
The NYC Half Race Recap will be up tomorrow but I’ll save the suspense…I PR’d by over 2 min!!! I didn’t get my sub-1:32 but I was darn close (1:32:23) and could NOT be happier with how the whole race went. I don’t think the smile has left my face since I crossed the finish line. [...]
Do you ever feel like you are on a treadmill and it just seems to be getting faster and faster…and that you will fall off if you hesitate for even a second? This is how I have felt the last few weeks. Overwhelmed. Like I was holding down the fast forward button and couldn’t pick [...]
I’m excited to begin the new series on NYC Running Mama – the PR spotlight. The PR spotlight will feature runners who have recently PR’d. It could be on the treadmill, track, or on the roads. The purpose of the feature will be to discuss what was done differently – whether it was pacing, fueling, [...]
After watching my Facebook page fill with status updates and photos of my fellow Staten Islanders as well as friends in NYC helping those affected by Hurricane Sandy last week, I knew that I needed to find a way to help. Logistically, it’s difficult for me to physically help – having an (almost) 2 year [...]
Hope everyone had a terrific weekend!! My husband, son, and I are on our way to Stowe Mountain, Vermont for the week!!

My late summer and early fall months were filled with dreams of winning the Foot Locker 5 Borough Challenge. Visions of participating in and completing my first ultra. Excitement of racing again after giving birth to my son earlier in the year. With all these fun, challenging events, it’s easy to see how I was [...]
If I had to sum up my experience participating in the inaugural Staten Island Trail Festival this weekend in a few words, it would be: I. Love. Trail. Running I would never leave the trails if I could. But since I also enjoy road racing, I can’t get on the trails as frequently as I [...]

I did a product review on Sparkly Soul last month. Here it is in case you missed it!! I would consider myself to be a (fairly) serious runner. My running shoes, clothes, and accessories need to be functional. No matter how cute that running skirt is, I’ll never justify wearing it if I’m going to be pulling [...]

No matter how cute that running skirt is, I’ll never justify wearing it if I’m going to be pulling it down every quarter of a mile (or worried that I’m showing more than I should [...]
