Hello!

I’m Sarah Mac. I’m a writer, mom, runner. This is my original running blog, Running Starfish, started in 2009 to chronicle my first (and supposed to be last) marathon, all the way through qualifying for the 2016 Olympic Trials Marathon.

happy marathon may!

The Vermont City Marathon has edged its way onto my calendar view. May 26th! It's coming for me. Or I'm coming for it.

Here's what I've been up to:


I'm feeling super fit though! Super fit, super sore, super tired...ready for my taper tantrums. I think...


Found the Vlog of advice Sally and I came up with last year for Marathon Month. All I can see are my highlights and lipstick... who has the time!? Who!??! Sorry, pre-taper tantrum. Alright off to eat and ice bath. Maybe at the same time. Don't judge. 

last long, long, long run
