Join me on my journey to running a marathon in the 50 States and Washington DC!
Here is my first blog post. It is about my first marathon in April 2005 and some background on the reason why I am taking on this feat.
How to read the blog?
All of my posts correspond only to races that I’ve completed. You can find my marathon history and stories here.
Other short race-related posts can be found here.
If you’re wanting more, I have a Tumblr at WttMB.tumblr.com where I post photos, inspiration, quotes, my mileage logs and other wild streams-of-consciousness.
I aim to chronicle my never-ending quest for health, happiness, athletic achievement, personal fulfillment and self-discovery. I write about running first, but also about my lessons learned along the way.
This blog is my (sometimes not so) paralleled journey through running and life and I’m excited you’re joining me for the ride…
So here’s to being able to always walk to the mailbox. And if I can’t… then hopefully someone will carry me!

You are an INSPIRATION! Love your blog – so happy to have connected to you
Next time you are in SF let me know and we will have some fun with Lulu!
I’m so glad I came across your blog! We have a ton in common — I just moved to OH, I’ve run marathons, used to figure skate (from age 5/6 to 16), I was in a sorority and partied a lot…a lot! I look forward to reading more and I think your mission is so admirable!! I’ve only run 2 full marathons and I don’t know that I’ll be taking on another. At least not any time soon! All the best of luck!!!
I have just found a passion for blogging- and have found my passion for running about a year ago- love your blog- definitely going to follow along!
PS- see you at BOSTON!!!
Wow! I’m so impressed by your ambitious goal. I love running, too — did my first marathon last year — but was recently told that I have to hold off on running for a while due to some disk problems with my back. I’m super bummed, but I know it’s what I need to do to heal.
Thanks for coming by my blog the other day. I’m glad you found me and I hope you come back. Chicago love!
Just found your blog from your guest post on Beneath It All. Love it!
This is AWESOME! I’m so glad I came across your blog! Get it, girl!
