My gluten-free life! Training for the 2013 Boston Marathon w/Team In Training in memory of my uncle Fred Abate. Let's find a cure for blood cancer: http://pages.teamintraining.org/ma/boston13/ashmcgill
Can’t stop reading this! It’s real. I can’t wait to cross that finish line! #bostonstrong #bostonmarathon14
First run since Boston; a 3 week break. My head is clear, legs are rested and heart is full. Feeling good.
“Decompression journal” and inspiring card from @melsuestu. A thoughtful gift from a great friend! This is getting easier…
And this is one reason why I love the people of the U.K.
This gave me a good feeling…can’t wait for BostonMarathon14
A must read here. I read the first article about being a marathoner earlier today and I’m so glad I found this one too. I wear the same running shoes as her and no I’m not sick but I run for a cure. I run for blood cancer. I admire this women for her drive, strength and compassion. I wish I could hug her and everyone else who feels the way I feel today. We run for cancer, but now we run for Boston too.
Do not simplify. Do not worry about failure. Failure is a badge of honour. It means you risked failure.

This is Boston. Was able to pick my jacket up today along with the rest of my belongings. I’m proud to wear this today and I’ll continue to be proud to wear it no matter what. #bostonmarathon13 #bostonstrong

Call it anxiety, call it what you want..bought 4 new sweaty bands at the expo. I’m ok with it!
Remembering Fred Abate
I know you’re probably sick of these posts and I’m OK with that! You only need to sit through 2 more days of it. It’s a beautiful sunny morning to donate to an amazing cause! Help us remember Fred Abate tomorrow! Don’t forget I’ll be choosing a winner to the Red Sox tickets raffle tonight!
