I ran this race with Husband one year (he vowed never to do it again). Another year I ran it with a running buddy from my first TNT season (we wore glittery HNY tiaras and ran with noisemakers). Last year I signed up to run it with EN, but ended up home sick in bed and feeling […]

Emerald Nuts Midnight Run
Posted in Race, tagged emerald nuts midnight run on January 1, 2007| 1 Comment »
I love the New Year’s Eve Midnight Run in Central Park, it is exactly my type of party. I ran it this year with my running buddy, B. We met there at 11, and I provided the tiaras and party horns, and B brought the champagne. We bullied our way into the crowd at the […]
Tweet-Up Run, with icicles and wine
Posted in Training on December 30, 2009| 3 Comments »
It was going to be a special kind of cold, we knew. The wind would blow with extra gusto, just for us. The temperatures would execute a swan dive into single and subzero digits, just for us. And Barbaresco would uncork a few bottles of wine, just for us. You see, I was meeting my […]
Ellipses for an Ellipses of a Week
Posted in Ellipses on December 28, 2009| 1 Comment »
Truly, what other week of the year is more of an ellispes than the seven days between Christmas and New Years Day? Aren’t we all just hanging around in the space in between, waiting for the ball to drop so we can lurch out of bed and start fresh?… One of my favorite new blogs is […]

Pocono Loop, with Husband
Posted in Get to Know, Training on August 30, 2009| 12 Comments »
Maybe I showed up at PT on Friday a bit numbed up; it’s possible I had a glass of red wine beforehand, to take the edge off the disappointment and alarm at the consistent thrum of pain in my “sit “muscles. I’d run 2.34 easy miles that morning, but even at a 10:35 pace the ache increased […]
Ice Cream Run

Sweet AG, girlfriend of EN, has invited me to a pre-midnight run “Breakfast-for-Dinner Party” on New Year’s Eve. I am delighted–it’s been years and years since I’ve spent the Eve seated around a table with a circle of friends. It has the makings of a near-perfect night: pancakes, fruit salad, eggs, potatoes, mimosas, and ice […]
Saturday’s Tidying Up
Posted in Elites, Race, Training, tagged national distance running hall of fame, ryan hall, track & field hall of fame on November 29, 2008| 11 Comments »
We’re heading back to New York tomorrow morning, so today’s activities include (in addition to more diligent relaxing) a bit of tidying up: laundry, tucking away the final pieces of unused plasticware, changing sheets and that sort of weekend wind-down stuff. This tidying up has carried over to Pigtails Flying, as I’ve got some un-ellipses […]
Anything for a T-Shirt
Posted in Training, tagged anything for a t-shirt, running into the sun on October 18, 2008| 6 Comments »
My speedy, singing cooking girl in Michigan inspired me. She photographed and cataloged her entire winter running wardrobe for her blog, revealing a serious diversity of gear and technical fabrics. It takes some special kind of cold weather to get me to put on a long-sleeved shirt for a run, but a week or so ago […]
