What’s better than 8am mid-winter runs, public barfing and lingering purple toenails?
Celebrating my big accomplishment with Papi, Manny and Youk, that’s what!
Last Monday, I experienced the icing on my marathon cake. As a reward for runners who raised more than $6,000 (thanks, guys), the Miles for Miracles team sponsored dinner and a game – Red-Sox [...]

Fun Run in the Sun
It’s confirmed. I’m running the Falmouth Road Race on Sunday, August 10 in Falmouth (duh), Cape Cod, MA.
Marathon Katie will be joining me. Marathon Jen needs a number. Does anyone know someone? A high-five goes out to the first person who comes up with an extra bib number. (Also: cute running partners.)

Post-Marathon Fun
I do more than just run. I also (apparently) travel the world. My mother and I just returned from a week in the fair cities of London and Paris.
I welcomed the extra week of guilt-free marathon recovery (how can one run when there are so many sites to be seen and so much gelatto to [...]

Hot Shots
Pre-race Sharpie-ing:
That’s Kerry with a “Y”, please.
Kerrys-on-a-Stick:

Glory Day
Through the last six months, with countless early-morning long runs, apparently insurmountable injuries, and more than one oh-my-gosh-I-have-no-time-to-breathe moments, I managed to train for and complete the 112th Boston Marathon.
So, here’s the good stuff: the gore, the guts and the glory of my run.
It was a warm day in Massachusetts. Newspeople will say it was, [...]

No Words
I ran the Boston Marathon. I RAN THE BOSTON MARATHON.
Proof:
It was a long and winding road filled with doubt and puke and cheers and exhilaration and – oh my gosh – I FINISHED!
And for every single Sharpie-drawn poster, divinely drawn Children’s smile, and beer-fueled college-kid yahoo, I say, simply, thank you. Because, really, there are [...]

Howdy, Marathon Enthusiasts!

unbridled carbo-loading and temporary license to drink as much blue Gatorade as I like.
If you’re out on the route, or know someone who will be, please commit this information to memory:
My number: 23906

Calling All Cheerleaders
I need your best stuff!
Please, whoever you are, from wherever you’re reading – send a little inspiration my way. Whether you’ve commented once, twice or never before, I’d love to read your finest, most fantastical encouragement, praise, and well wishes.
What would you like to hear the evening before your last law school final, in the [...]

The Journey
The much-anticipated 21-mile run was last weekend.
This, the last long run before game day, was hosted by the B.A.A. and set on a freezing Saturday morning, in a sun-shining, main streets and back roads-meandering kind of way (if by meandering, you mean chugging along with hot pink Kinesio tape on your legs and a booger [...]
