Run As One Race Recap 4/29/12
I am so happy. Everything has been going my way lately, and I’m so thankful. I can’t stop smiling. Today, for example, was an epic day. It began with the NYRR Run As One 4 mile race. I’ve never run a 4 mile race, so I went into it with two thoughts in mind: 1) … Continue reading »
Minimalism Bandwagon and New Shoes
I’m chasing the bandwagon on this topic: minimalist shoes. I know it’s been a hot topic and I’m late to the scene, but I had never given it a second thought until recently. Miss Zippy (or Amanda if you so choose) commented on yesterday’s whiny post saying the following: “Being the minimalist zealot that I am, … Continue reading »
Thoughts on Running: The Good and The Bad
Hello there! Nice to see you on this fine Thursday night. Thursday nights are probably my favorite night of the week. I don’t know why but it probably stems from not having many (if any) Friday classes in college. Therefore Thursday night = start to the long weekend. Too bad, so sad, that’s no longer … Continue reading »
Leatherman’s Loop
Nothing pumps me up to run quite as much as race spectating. Standing on the sidelines sends me into an excited frenzy – I become energized and adrenalized just watching people partake in sweat-filled, fabulous, running action. Especially when that action includes a muddy, wet, leatherman-y trail run. (“Leatherman-y” is a new word, yes.) Today, … Continue reading »

Sports and Pizza and 7 Miler Weekends
Boston Marathon is tomorrow!! Obviously I’m not running, but I have a few good friends who are. My friend/roommate from college is going for a sub 3 marathon. SUB 3! Well, she said that with the hot weather she just wants to finish, but I have faith in her. She’s amazing. She’s always been super … Continue reading »
Never Underestimate
I forgot how tiring this whole “working” thing is. With my work commute and my workout, my days are going to be pretty full. But I’m already plotting the best ways to get my sweat on and be productive with my life. Thankfully my gym and a FlyWheel Studio are both very close to my … Continue reading »
No More Yoga Pants
I have a new routine. Starting today. I’m officially employed again! That was fast right? My interview was on Tuesday and today, Thursday, is my first day. And guess what? It sort of involves running! (Well, runners). I’ll give you a hint: I wrote about it in this post (which is coincidentally the first time … Continue reading »
