6:45am: alarm goes off 7-7:30: pack stuff 7:30-7:40: run just one mile to start off the Runner’s World Run Streak. (One mile > 0 miles, and knowing I had a loooong day of travel ahead, I did...
Greetings from paradise. I’m in the Outer Banks for the fifth Memorial Day in the row. On maybe the first or second time here, someone said we should come here every Memorial Day, even when eve...
…this isn’t a post about Reach the Beach? I had so much fun, but it’s nice to get back to regular blogging. Sort of. I leave for a fabulous long weekend at the beach TONIGHT! I̵...
So this is one of my last Reach the Beach-related posts…probably. There’s a few more things about the race still on my mind that I may blog about, but I’ll at least spare you a few ...
Last we left off, we’d gone through one round of our team, and I was trying to get some sleep in the van, semi-unsuccessfully. We got to the Van Transition Area (the points where our entire tea...
So, spoiler alert: we did reach the beach. But I want to recap the trip we took to get there. On Thursday night, after touring the New Balance factory (more on that later), we headed to Wachusett to ...
For the first 27 years of my life, I was convinced that I was allergic to nuts. I knew I was allergic to peanut butter, and for some reason, I was just convinced I was allergic to other nuts. Which w...
I’m stuck in a glass case of emotion right now. I had an amazing weekend…and then it ended. I’m in some serious Reach the Beach withdrawal When Tina asked if I wanted to be on a blo...
Hello! Greetings from somewhere in Connecticut, where I am on the Bolt Bus on my way up to Boston. I’m staying at Tina’s tonight so that I can help out New Balance tomorrow morning if the...
So I’ve mentioned that I’d like to drop a few pounds and tone up. I’ve certainly taken action on the workout front–adding in bootcamp classes and cross-training–but my d...
As I may have mentioned once or twice, I’m ridiculously excited for Reach the Beach this weekend as well as some awesome quality time with the New Balance folks. As you may have seen a few mont...
Today I spent the day with my best friend. The woman who was there when I took my first steps 28 years ago… …and then who was there when I ran my first 26.2 26 years later. The woman who ...
You guys, I’m riding a serious runner’s high right now. I had a fun week with blogger friends in town and had an awesome run with them Thursday morning. They definitely pushed me to go fa...
This has been a whirlwind 48 hours. Since the last time I’ve blogged, I have: taken my fave bootcamp class attended the Fitness mag Meet & Tweet taken a Swahili endurance training class (no...
All day today, I couldn’t wait for dinner. Well, I guess that’s not too different than usual, but I was psyched to see my long-lost friend Tina and my not-so-long-lost friend Ashley. Ashl...
While, yes, I work out so I can be happy with how I look and perform well in races (and stay healthy and stuff), it’s amazing how it makes the other things in my life come together, too. For ex...
Oh hello there. Cinco de Derby/my baby cousin’s first birthday are over, and I survived. LOOK AT THIS LITTLE PEANUT! And look at my mom wearing white before Memorial Day! What a rebel. LexiR...
It’s not even 1pm yet, and I’ve already: run 8 miles showered dried my hair inhaled a spinach feta wrap taken two trains out to New Jersey It was so insanely humid and foggy this morning on my lover,...
It is Friday night, and I am so so happy to be sitting on my couch in yoga pants with a glass of wine. I’m exhausted, and I will likely be in bed in the next hour. I lead a really wild life in ...
If you’ve been reading my blog the past few months, you know that I’ve been struggling to get my act in gear since starting my new job. You’re probably sick of reading about it, and...
Outside of work, Junior League has been consuming a lot of my time. We have two big events this week (both open to the public…hint, hint), and my committee has been working hard on the final PR...
It’s nearly 11pm on Monday, and I probably should just go to sleep, but there are a few things I want to share: Weeding makes you REALLY SORE. I woke up this morning, and my hamstrings were THR...
Today I got a different kind of strength workout. I spent the day outside weeding. The Playground Improvement Project is one of the New York Junior League’s signature projects. Every year, our ...
I’m feeling a little burnt out on running lately. Once I get out there, I’m usually okay, but the idea of heading out to the same old paths is not very exciting. East side path, West side...
5:57 am: alarm goes off, hit snooze 6:25 am: alarm goes off, hit snooze 6:35 am: alarm goes off, “I really need to run.” 6:35-6:45: “what is my problem? Why can’t I get out of...
Operation Look Not Awful in a Bikini In OBX/Run Strong And Awesome Races is well underway, and today I decided I desperately needed some more strength training. After I blogged about Refine Method la...
Tonight’s run had every potential to suck. It was 8:30 by the time I could get to the gym. I didn’t want to. Like, not even a little bit. I’d missed a group run that Erica had organ...
I’ve never been big on calorie counting. I know it works for some people, but it’s just not my thing. I either completely lose track, or I start selecting food based on its calories, not ...
I’ve been in my new apartment for about a month, and it already feels homier than any other apartment I’ve ever lived in. I think a lot of that has to do with having walls that aren’...
