Welcome to my blog about training for the 2014 Boston Marathon and fundraising for Newton Schools Foundation (NSF)! When I accepted the opportunity to run Boston for NSF, I thought it would be interesting to chronicle my training experiences online to share with others. You’ll likely be reading about several different things on here…

• My plans, goals, and experiences training – physically and mentally – to run 26.2 miles
• Why I believe in NSF’s mission and why you should help me support them
• My experiences with coaching my own team of marathoners on Dreamfar at Newton South
• And perhaps some other tidbits, including my work in Newton Public Schools, which certainly influenced my decision to run for NSF.
