unlikeliest marathoner: September 2011
http://unlikeliestmarathoner.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
A blog for new long-distance runners. Thursday, September 15, 2011. What to do when you don't feel like running. You know the feeling well. One day off feels like an itch. Two, a gnaw. Three or more, and every single thought you have about plans for the day is back-ended with "but I should really go running instead.". Well, welcome to the club! So, here's my secret #1. It's really no big deal. Secret #2: Maybe it's time for new shoes. Secret #3: Maybe it's time for a new sound-track. It's all pretty frig...

unlikeliest marathoner: April 2010
http://unlikeliestmarathoner.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
A blog for new long-distance runners. Tuesday, April 27, 2010. A lot has happened since I decided to defer my spot in the ING NYC marathon last year. I haven't been training for races. And in January and February, I pretty much stopped running entirely. But in many ways, I've been using everything I learned last year in Rome. Though this time it's been off the course. I took what she said to heart, but didn't do anything besides try to rehab my knee. I kept going to acupuncture through two weeks befo...

unlikeliest marathoner: gaps and opportunities
http://unlikeliestmarathoner.blogspot.com/2011/08/gaps-and-opportunities.html
A blog for new long-distance runners. Monday, August 1, 2011. In running, and in life, you can fall into a gap and get stuck there. After a period of about a year, I've come to realize I've been spending time in one of these gaps, checking it out, languishing a bit too long. To be specific, after completing the NYC marathon last year, I haven't stopped running, but I've stopped training, which in a sense is all about moving forward. Or is it normal when my other major life goals are a priority? While I w...

unlikeliest marathoner: the non-runner's guide to running a marathon
http://unlikeliestmarathoner.blogspot.com/2009/04/non-runners-guide-to-running-marathon.html
A blog for new long-distance runners. Sunday, April 12, 2009. The non-runner's guide to running a marathon. It's been a few weeks now since I completed the marathon (saying that never gets old! And I've found myself telling the non-runners among my friends pretty much the same thing: how I, a former non-runner, could have ever done this. So here's a basic guide of tips and tricks I learned along the way. Yep, magazine-style bullets coming right up:. Posted by Meghann Foye. March 3, 2010 at 1:54 PM. It ca...

unlikeliest marathoner: September 2009
http://unlikeliestmarathoner.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
A blog for new long-distance runners. Monday, September 28, 2009. The pros of pain. When I started this blog, I knew I'd be writing about the highs and lows, but I never realized how each leg of this journey would take me past all of the significant running milestones. But, still, in all of this, there have been a few silver linings. For one, I've encountered a whole new community: physical therapy. It's so weird as a person who's so in her head all the time to meet people so heavily focused on w...I am ...

unlikeliest marathoner: dealing with deferring
http://unlikeliestmarathoner.blogspot.com/2009/10/dealing-with-deferring.html
A blog for new long-distance runners. Sunday, October 18, 2009. I guess I should have seen it coming. After five weeks of not being able to run longer than about 3-5 miles without major pain to my right knee because of IT band issues, I've decided to defer my entry to the NYC Marathon until next year. I can only share what I've learned to hopefully help others dealing with the same thing, and of course, a few thoughts about what it means for me personally. Posted by Meghann Foye. I'm a 30something magazi...

http://unlikeliestmarathoner.blogspot.com/2009/09/diary-of-injury.html
A blog for new long-distance runners. Monday, September 21, 2009. Diary of an injury. This post will go in reverse chronological order.you'll see where it's all going soon enough:. 8:32 PM, Saturday, Sept. 21: Finished running 1.7 miles (my favorite, the reservoir, where it all began.) This time though, instead of the mild September air cooling me off as I ran charging to beat twilight, it was broken up into three segments: the amounts I could run without pain, coupled with walking. 1:00 PM, Wednesday Se...
