Short core workout after that.
The weekend of the Falmouth Road Race, my husband and I 'left' our beach chairs at the Falmouth Inn where we stayed. How could we possibly leave them there, right? So we just had to schedule a day trip to retrieve them. Despite the heavy rains ear…

Yesterday Tom and I ran 6 miles along the Falmouth Road Race route - it was magnificent. My average HR was 141 and peak of 160. We did a lotta hills and Tom is wearing a pedometer as part of his walking team at Childrens Hospital - so with running a…
I had two turtles as pets when I was a little girl. I loved them so. And now, I see turtles when I run around the reservoir reminding me that slow and steady wins the race every time - although more importantly - there is no race - it's about kee…

Profile Information
- About Me
- On 4/20/2009 for Spaulding Rehab Hospital, I ran and qualified in the mobility impaired division of the Boston Marathon. I have been blessed to heal my life with the diagnosis of post polio syndrome. After being diagnosed in 2006 with post polio syndrome, I discovered the gift of poetry in my soul which helped inspire my body to heal. I am so blessed to have a book of inspirational poetry published, "New World Greetings:Inspirational Poetry for a New World" and I donate 20% of the proceeds to Spaulding Rehab's Polio Fund to benefit polio survivors through outreach, education and research. I am the proud mother of 21 year old twins; our 21 year old daughter went from couch potato to Marathon runner and is known as Roofy Runner Girl here on Just Finish. My husband, Tom had been a 10K runner years ago (bt - before twins) and when he heard my crazy idea of running the Boston Marathon for Spaulding Rehab, he had to join in the fun. Our son provides the support at home and we are so blessed to truly be Team McManus. You can check out my website at www.newworldgreetings.com to hear interviews of my healing journey, read Poetry in Motion, poems I wrote on the Road to the Boston Marathon and enjoy reading a poem of the week from my book of inspirational poetry.
- Activities
- Running, walking, strength training. Love movies, music, reading books which inspire and help me to grow spiritually,blogging, Twittering, creating beautiful poetry for clients of New World Greeting Cards and just loving life!

Keeping the Pace
I had two turtles as pets when I was a little girl. I loved them so. And now, I see turtles when I run around the reservoir reminding me that slow and steady wins the race every time - although more importantly - there is no race - it's about keeping the pace. This past week, my dear friend Kate L… Continue

Dan Clark said… - Hi Mary,
The GR marathon is October 18th. I'm going to shoot for a 3:45 if I can stay healthy. So far so good. I have been following you and RRG in your fitness quest. You are an inspiration, keep up the good work.

- Currently I am working my way up from the back of the pack. Though I have run Ultras I have not run any road marathons as of yet. But, my guess is that if were to run a road marathon my goal would be to finish in less than 5 hours the 3:45 required for Boston might be a ways off.

- Mary thanks for the birthday wishes. Now that Boston has spotted me 10 extra minutes maybe it will be a better year.
