Five Ways I'm Training For The Pittsburgh Half Marathon

04/05/2010 by Deanna +

On May 2, 2010, I will do something I've never done: Run 13.1 miles in the Pittsburgh Half Marathon! I've been an athlete all my life. Nothing hardcore, just have always participated in sports. From field hockey to gymnastics to softball and lacrosse, I've played nearly every sport. Lacrosse was the sport I kept up with the most - playing from sixth grade up until I graduated from college.

03/19/2010 by Deanna +

Ever since Pepsi opted to not advertise in this year’s smorgasbord of Super Bowl commercials, I’ve been thinking about its strategy.
