Ultra Marathon Massage

Every single one of us can make a difference; at the very least, we should all try. I try to make the world a better place every day. I do have an annual tradition of giving ... I have been donating my medals for years on , the Tuesday after Thanksgiving, to .
It is my favorite way to say Thank you for my life, my good health, my ability to run marathons. I donate my bounty to the kids who are still fighting in hospitals around the country. The kids deserve these medals much more than I do, they are the true heroes. I am blessed to have wonderful memories shared with good friends from my marathon experiences all over the globe, let the kids enjoy these medals!

The best way to recover from a hilly & hot 🥵 marathon is to explore Paris by night on my layover home from Beirut
Life is a grand adventure or nothing at all

“If you want to run, then run a mile. If you want to experience another life, run a marathon.” Emil Zatopek

How true this quote is for me personally

Yesterday I had the pleasure of pacing a marathon in Beirut &
I paced a lot of first timers

While it was much hotter than my body can handle & I was forced to abandon my original plan, I still had a good time & helped a lot of runners ; my personal success rate is measured in friends & smiles more than in miles.
I am so grateful for the opportunities to serve

We travel not to escape life, but for life not to escape us.

Traveling makes one modest, you start to understand what a tiny corner you inhabit in the world

I love to experience new things and I swallow them whole. My passions are Travel , Marathons, & Meeting new people. But I also love that no matter where I go, being a marathon maniac, I see familiar faces.
I am not afraid to go down some dead ends and explore dark alleys. Which is what I did today to find packet pick up, I always say ‘Try everything’
I was rewarded for my hour of exploring Beirut on foot by both making new friends and seeing old friends alike

I am still flying high off the largest block party on the planet, aka NYC Marathon, but I am so very excited to be all checked in to my flight tomorrow, I am off to Paris en route to Lebanon to Pace the 20th anniversary of the Beirut Marathon on Sunday!

I love the NYCM so much
Even though it was a tough day for all of us yesterday I still have so much love for all the spectacular spectators and volunteers and feel so grateful to have been a part of the best pacing team on the planet

When we are motivated by goals that have deep meaning, by dreams that need completion, by pure love that needs expressing, then we truly live life. 4 more days til the greatest show on earth
