About Me
Welcome to my little plot of cyber real estate. My name is Miranda. By day, I work in IT. I earned my MFA in creative writing in 2013, and have been fantasizing about writing the next great American piece of nonfiction. My thesis, Running to Boston, was a mix of memoir and researched-based nonfiction on the history and development of the marathon race. Currently, I'm most interested in the historical aspects of the race and how they inform and shape runners' experiences and the marathon today. For more information, contact me.
All that aside, I always identify as a runner. I got into running for perhaps all the wrong reasons—follow my blog to learn them. Like any good relationship, running has a solid amount of give and take. No matter what else is going on in my life, running feels like coming home. I'm completely comfortable with myself when I'm running. In short, running has taught me so much about myself and what I’m capable of accomplishing.
I’ve completed three marathons and hope to complete a fourth later this year. I mention that because, while I want to perhaps give myself some credibility, I truly believe that anyone can run a marathon. You can be a runner. You should be a runner. My goal is to leave you with some tips or inspiration, or some combination of both. So get out there and give it a try, or take a few clicks around here before lacing up your sneaks. And let me know how it went!

Recent PostsSometimes I think starting is the hardest part. For about two months this past spring, I avoided a morning HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) workout because I didn’t know what to expect. Who would be there? Would it be too random to just show up unannounced? Would I belong?. Like many of us, I feared what I did not know. When I finally made myself go, I was hooked. It reminded me of the crazy Wednesday morning November Project workouts I used to go to when I lived in Somerville. #somanystairs
