Has everyone heard enough about the nice weather we are having in New York?
It's 60 degrees in February, fellas!
Spring may not have officially sprung quite yet, but myself and the rest of the city can’t stop talking about how fabulous the weather has been.
So beautiful that yesterday I was able to get in a lovely 12 minute outdoor run. 12 fairly pain-free minutes until I felt a little tingling in my knees, so I begrudgingly stopped.
Body says stop? Okay, I'll just admire this bridge instead.
My lifting today consisted of some sets of leg and glute exercises. I always second-guess posting my workouts/amount of weight I’m lifting (what are people thinking? Are they judging me? Am I weak?!) But I guess I just gotta “do me” and not worry about it, as you East Coasters always say.
In other news, girls and boys, I’ve officially become addicted to the idea of running a Ragnar Relay Race. I’ve begun my campaign to convince 11 others to join me (the Fit Blog chat last night with our lovely host Michele connected me with lots interested ladies!) I have a couple takers that I know from the “real world” (Hi Lauren!) and am so ready to check this off my to-do list.
I’ve been trying to convince the BF and my roommates to participate. I told them there’s a PARTY after and the medals double as BOTTLE OPENERS! How could you say no to that?!
They said no. I don’t know how.
Regardless, BF says he will drive a van. What a nice guy!
Does anyone else want to join?!
As soon as I can run more than 12 minutes, that is…
Lastly – check out the new exercise article from the New York Times I linked to on my Fitness News Archives page titled: “Exercise as Housecleaning for the Body”. Exciting stuff!
How’s the weather where you are? Did you have a great run today? Anyone else want to run a Ragnar Relay? Speak up, I’d love to hear from you!
I’d love to do a relay like that someday! I’ve heard great things about them! Good luck!
Well if you want to do one sooner rather than later, let me know
we can join forces! Haha
I’ve got a friend who is trying to put together a team for the Madison to Chicago race… I’ve always wanted to run it so I hope he can find more people
Ummm I’ll gladly take a spot if he’s really looking! We obviously couldn’t train together but I’m down to meet you in Madison
I’m obsessed with Ragnar. My friend and I have about 4 people interested so far – close but not enough!! Which race are you interested in?
Any of them!! Obviously the East Coast races would be much easier/cheaper for me, but I’ll consider others as well…which one are you aiming for?! I have a couple people in the area interested as well so maybe we could combine groups!
I want to do a Ragnar more than anything!
Do you want to join our team for the Upstate NY relay?! Send me an email if you are interested! kararunsblog @ gmail . com
