Unfortunately, my blogging software is still on the fritz. I can still blog without it, but I can’t put in all my pics. I wanted to wait to post this recap until I could share the pictures, but a couple of people have been prodding me to blog (you know who you are). So here’s [...]

We arrived in Sydney on Saturday and had a full week of orientation and such before classes start tomorrow. Sadly we don’t get the full-blown orientation experience because although this is the start of first semester for US students, it’s the second semester for Aussie kids since their seasons are switched. But we learned our [...]
Hey everyone! Sorry I haven’t been blogging…I’ve had a few posts prepared but the software I use to blog (Windows Live Writer) isn’t working. I think it has to do with the new Internet I’ve been using, I pay by bandwidth usage and therefore have to log in every time I open a browser. I [...]
Hello from Sydney! I’ve been here for about a week and while I wish I could have blogged earlier, Internet access has been a little sporadic. I left last Saturday and after a 28+ hour travel adventure that involved four airports, three planes, three trips through security, and customs, we finally arrived in Cairns. I’m [...]
Hi there! Have no fear…this blog is coming back! (By the way, I used to own the domain www. helpmeghanrun . com, but I don’t anymore and it’s no longer my site! So you can find the site at www.helpmegrun.com or at helpmeghanrun.wordpress.com.) Anyway, I’ll be blogging real soon and give you a recap on [...]
I am so sorry for the delay in putting up this post! Believe it or not, I’ve written it a couple times but for some reason it keeps getting deleted. Let’s hope lucky number three works. Where was I when I left off last? Ah, yes, running. The worst of the hills were over by [...]
RACE DAY!! I’ll start with a few details from Saturday night. After we got back from the Inspiration Dinner, my Team in Training chapter had a little team meeting in our hotel lobby. We decorated our jerseys and listened to our coaches deliver a last-minute pep talk. I then went back up to my room, [...]
I won’t lie…Saturday, the day before the half marathon, was not too exciting. I was pretty interested in saving my energy for Sunday. I woke up fairly early (thanks, time change) and some of my team members met with one of our coaches to go on a little 20-minute jog. It actually felt pretty good [...]
When I signed up for Team in Training over six months ago—April 11, to be exact—I had no idea what an impact it would have on my life. I went to the information session by myself, was intrigued by what I heard, and took a leap of faith by signing the paperwork and paying the [...]
Hey everyone! I can’t believe the Nike Women’s half marathon is so close ! I’ve been signed up for this event going on six months now, and it’s finally almost here. Just 10 days left! I’m working on my final preparations, and one of the most important ones (to me, anyway!) is my iPod playlist. [...]
