Run to Be Me: January 2013
http://run2beme.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html
Run to Be Me. My life on the run. Tuesday, January 29, 2013. Oops, I did it again. Yes, I signed up for a marathon again. I saw that. Yes, you. I saw your eye roll. Trust me, mine is better than yours. Came along. Wait, what? A marathon in my hometown? Are you kidding me? How can I NOT do this? I HAD to do this. I was so excited about this. Then, a few days ago they announced they were charging $150 for the full marathon. Um, excuse me? Crap What did I just do? How could I not try THIS marathon? I will h...

Run to Be Me: October 2012
http://run2beme.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
Run to Be Me. My life on the run. Friday, October 19, 2012. Take what I can and run with it. I smiled and walked out. Then paused outside for a bit. Got a bit sad. I know what she said was a nice compliment. Said with complete kindness. It was taken as such. But. I was busy doing nothing. It felt good. Haley crawls all over me. Bites the heck out of me. We run circles outside. She runs away. I chase her down the street in a shortie robe and no shoes. Good times. All good. So, "World's Best Cheerleader"?

Run to Be Me: November 2013
http://run2beme.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
Run to Be Me. My life on the run. Wednesday, November 13, 2013. To be honest, I wasn't sure this would ever happen. On Sunday I became a marathoner. What. Did. I. Just. Say? For those that don't know, I've DNS the Chicago Marathon TWICE. I also DNS countless 5k's and one half marathon. I also had one DNF of a half marathon a few weeks ago after dropping out at a medical tent at the half way point. All due to injuries. How could I not try? My childhood friend, swimming teammate, and fellow swim coach, Car...

Run to Be Me: March 2013
http://run2beme.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html
Run to Be Me. My life on the run. Wednesday, March 20, 2013. That's a lot of days. 11 years of days to be exact. 4018 days without my dad. 4018 days since I last saw him alive. I sat there and watched him die. If you have never seen this happen, it's a hard experience to describe. Of course I was horribly sad. But, at the same time I was at peace with it. I wanted him out of his suffering. Standing at the alter watching my dad walk my sister down the aisle? Those were perhaps the hardest words I've ever ...

Run to Be Me: I'm Coming Home
http://run2beme.blogspot.com/2014/03/im-coming-home.html
Run to Be Me. My life on the run. Monday, March 3, 2014. This has absolutely nothing to do with running. But, considering I barely run anymore. does it really matter? This has more to do with ME. Tomorrow I'm coming home. It's been three years. Since I've been home. No, not here home. But, home where my heart is. St. Maarten. It's the place where I'm most at peace. Most happy. Most myself. I've missed it. I haven't been there in awhile. Because, well, life. Work. Stuff. But, we got our hands dirty. W...

Run to Be Me: December 2013
http://run2beme.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html
Run to Be Me. My life on the run. Tuesday, December 31, 2013. 2013 - It was about. So, yes, 2013 was the year I FINALLY ran my marathon. That was HUGE for me. Of course. But, 2013 wasn't just about my marathon and me. It was so much more. Than I, he was trying to actually let me HEAL from all my injuries. It was about having post race brunch at coach's with a table full of The Internet. Giggling hysterically over the inappropriate conversation with people I adore. Runners. Sure I pulled out at the miles ...

Run to Be Me: April 2013
http://run2beme.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
Run to Be Me. My life on the run. Wednesday, April 17, 2013. Every since I started running a few years ago I have struggled with calling myself a runner. I have always felt so unworthy of that title. I do not run fast. I do not run far. I shuffle along. I break. I try again. I can call myself a swimmer. I started swimming at around age 5. It was easy for me. I was at home in the water. It's effortless for me. I don't suck at it. It's because of these people that I finally went to watch my first Chicago M...
