Alison’s Blog: “The 2011 New York City Marathon. Been there, ran that.”

Well, she did it. There was never any question in my mind wether she would. I’ll let her tell you about it. One word- riveting! more »
Alison’s Blog: It all started with 5 minutes. She just did a 4 hour, 43 minute, & 48 second race!!!
Thursday, August 25th, 2011
Keep in mind as you read this, Alison started with 5 minutes of exercise in her bedroom. Now, there’s no limit in sight.
Alison:
“50 yards. All you have to do is swim 50 yards.”
This is the only thought going through my head. No, I haven’t started doing short little sprint races that take about a minute and half. In fact, I’m on the beach at Lake Sebago in Harriman State Park, lined up for my longest race to date. It’s an Olympic distance triathlon, consisting of a 1 mile swim, a 28 mile bike ride and a 6.2 mile run. But all I’m thinking about is swimming 50 yards. more »
Alison’s Blog- One of the best reasons ever to be healthy
Tuesday, July 12th, 2011
Peter- I’m so glad Alison shared this blog with us. In my opinion, if you can motivate a child to be healthy by your actions, then that’s what it’s all about.
Alison- Saturday I was out on a 6 mile run. This was a hill run, where I do a 2 mile loop that contains 5 hills per loop. Let me do the math for you: that’s 15 hills and 6 miles of distance all in one run. Normally, I dread my hill run, and have to admit freely that I excel at reasons to do a flatter, more “normal” run on hill run day.
This Saturday, though, I was happy to do my run, almost excited. And no, I didn’t fall at any point and slam my head against the concrete I run on. I raced through my 6 miles and 15 hills as fast as I could. I wasn’t thrilled about the run itself. I couldn’t wait for what came after the run.
Peter K is organizing a 5K run through his club, the “Fit Friends’ Revolution”, that’s taking place on July 17th. And though I love to race, that also isn’t the reason for my exuberance. What I’m so thrilled about is that my 6 year old daughter, Olivia, is going to run the 5K with me, and we’re going for a training run after my hills from hell. more »

Alison: Anyone who knows me knows how much I love numbers. To calm my nerves at races, I look at the numbers on people’s bibs and do mathematic equations with them; as a kid I used to balance my mom’s check book for fun (oh, please. You think I was cool as a kid and got nerdy later in life?). This morning, though, I only have one number in my head: 9:02. more »
Alison’s Blog- “I fell, but now I’m getting up” for 2011
Wednesday, January 5th, 2011
Alison: Bonnie St. John is a one legged downhill skier. In the 1984 Paralympics, she was ahead in the slalom, when she fell on an icy patch. She got up and finished her run. It ended up that all skiers in that race that day fell on the exact same spot. Bonnie had the best time up to that spot. But, she came in second place in that race, and another skier won the gold. I found a quote from Bonnie St. John on the internet about that race: “I learned that people fall down, winners get up, and gold medal winners just get up faster.”
No, I have neither become a recent amputee, nor have I joined the US Olympic Ski Team. I can relate to Bonnie St. John, because I have fallen. A lot. more »
Alison completes 3rd triathlon, 4th 1/2 marathon & hates celery, all in one week :-)

Alison: When I was fat, I used to hate diet commercials. They would show young healthy people jumping like idiots in aerobics classes, not sweaty at all, with big smiles on their faces. Then they’d show these same people in cute little outfits eating a piece of celery and laughing. And underneath would be a line in teeny, tiny print: “Results not typical.” Whenever I saw these commercials, I knew I had no business even trying these diets. I was too ordinary to get atypical results; besides, I hate celery. more »
