Reasons I Sometimes Miss the Suburbs

Filed under Lists by Miriam on July 30, 2010 at 5:09 pm no comments

As I may have mentioned a time or two, I live in a rural community.  We do not have sidewalks, we barely have shoulders. As a runner, this poses some challenges. Having grown up in the suburbs (my whole city seemed like a giant suburb in high school), and done college running around Boston, here [...]

The meaning of success

Filed under Discussion by Miriam on June 29, 2010 at 8:11 am one comment

“When I stood on the greatest summit I’ve ever achieved, success vaporized. As many before, I learned that the moment we think we have attained the goal, we lose it. Success is empty. The sum of all our luck, judgements, lessons learned and heeded, elevation gained and lost, our fitness and skill is zero” -Steve [...]

Miriam the Filly Runner
I'm a 28 year old ex-Northeastern-rower who is finding a new love for physical fitness in the form of running. I love running long distances (even aiming for Ultramarathons) on both road and trail. I've toyed with barefoot but mostly go with the minimalistic shoes. I may not be very fast, but I'm enjoying competing against myself. I'm Canadian but love living in New Hampshire with my hubby, and our Poodle and cats. When not running, I'm usually being a nerdy engineering type.

Cooper the Blonde Poodle
Cooper, who's registered name is French Fries and Gravy, is a 1 year old Cream Standard Poodle (he's on the small side of his breed). He thinks that living with two runners is fantastic, as long as he gets to tag along. His longest run to date has been 22 miles off leash, so he probably did significantly more than that. Coop's non-running adventures are often documented in my other blog Life with a Blonde Poodle.
