Week 12 of training for the Every Woman’s Marathon — 14 miles completed today. It went pretty well overall. I hit a dark spot between miles 7 and 10, but found my rhythm again and finished strong. Felt great at the 14-mile mark.
Next week will be the big one — the 20-miler. Looking forward to it and hoping it goes off well. Each week brings me closer to the start line, one step at a time.
Started off with a bit of hip pain and stiffness, but right away everything felt so much better seeing these beautiful ladies, and chatting and moving in the bright, warm sunshine.
So grateful for these beautiful women of 261 Fearless Club Los Angeles — such energy and encouragement every week. 💜
Congratulations to Jeanne for your amazing performance at the Huntsman World Games!🎉 Go, Jeanne, go! 👏🏅

Got the 18-mile run in today, 11th week of training for the Every Woman’s Marathon. Got her done… but it was tough.
Around the half-marathon mark, runner’s lean hit me hard. I felt a strong pull to the left and wrestled with it all the way to mile 18. It wasn’t pretty, but I finished. That makes six half-marathons in the past six weeks!
Next week drops back to 14 miles, then comes the big 20-miler, another 14, a ten, and finally race day, week 16 — 26.2 miles. Five more half-marathons to go (plus the extra miles), and I’m determined to keep going.
One step, one mile, one week at a time — onward to the finish line.
Beautiful air quality, cool breezes, puffy white clouds, and a bright blue sky 🌤️✨ — the perfect morning for a walk with 261 Fearless Club Los Angeles!

This week marked Week 10 of my 16-week training journey for the Every Woman’s Marathon, and the long run on the schedule was 14 miles.
Looking back, I’m still amazed at what these legs have carried me through: this was my sixth half-marathon-distance run in six consecutive weeks. Each one has taught me something new—about pacing, about fueling, and about showing up
.With only six weeks to go until race day, the big runs ahead look like stepping-stones: 18 miles next, then 14, then 20, then 14, followed by the long-awaited taper of 10 that leads into 26.2 miles on race day.
I can feel the training shaping not just my endurance but also my mindset. Every mile reminds me why I signed up: to celebrate strength, to run alongside women everywhere, and to honor the discipline it takes to keep moving forward.
Week 10 was steady, disciplined and determined, sticking to my plan, exactly what my marathon training calls for. Six weeks from now, I’ll be standing at the starting line with the road wide open ahead of me.
Here’s to the next long run and to staying fearless, one mile at a time.
Today I wrapped up Week 9 of my Every Woman’s Marathon training — 16 miles done! That makes four half-marathons in four weeks. I still can’t believe how quickly the weeks are flying by.
I have six more training weeks before race day. Five more half-marathons — one every single week — and then taper week, where I “only” run 10 miles (which now feels short!). Then it’s race day: 26.2 miles.
This week, I’ve started tuning up my race-day strategy and figuring out my fueling plan. I want to show up ready, steady, and strong.
Most of all, I just feel grateful. Grateful that I have the health, the strength of mind and body, and the opportunity to take on something so big at 74. Every time I lace up my shoes, I’m reminded what a blessing this is.
Here’s to the next five weeks, to each half-marathon ahead, and to the finish line waiting for me in just a few weeks.
Training for the Every Woman’s Marathon is officially on schedule — and I’m so thankful! 🙌
In the past 3 weeks, I’ve run 3 half marathons as part of training… and there are 6 more to go over the next 6 long runs. That’s 9 half marathons in 9 weeks — a challenge, but one I’m ready to take on! 🏃♀️✨
Every mile is getting me closer to race day — stronger, faster, more confident. 💪
Two races. Two finish lines. Two milestones. A journey I’ll never forget. Every step proved I was born to run.
In 2018, I laced up for another ultramarathon. I had previously completed 30-mile ultramarathons This would be a timed 60 miles. Every step tested me. Sixty miles of grit, doubt, and determination. There were moments I wondered if I could keep going, but somehow, step after step, I did. Crossing that finish line wasn’t just about the miles—it was about proving to myself that I was capable of more than I ever imagined.
A year later, in 2019, I went even farther—100 miles. It was grueling, it was painful, but it proved to me just how much I can endure. One hundred miles. A whole new level of challenge. The pain was real. The exhaustion was deep. But so was the joy of pushing through barriers I never thought I could break.
