I’ve had quite the dilemma this morning…WHAT DO I DO ON A RUN-LESS SATURDAY? I have the Bronx 10-Mile race tomorrow morning, so there is a big hole in my AM festivities. What’s a girl to do with the three hours usually spent getting ready to run/running/foam rolling/showering? Normally I’m conveniently done with my routine just … Continue reading »

Long Run Prep
I’m not sure when my idea of a perfect Friday night became a night in yoga pants, watching “Say Yes to the Dress”, with a homemade dinner and a glass of wine, but here I am. Content and comfortable. Last Friday, I hung out with a friend and her family, watched football, and played “knock … Continue reading »
Long Rides and J-E-T-S
Hey ya’ll! I’m so glad Monday is over. It was extra hard today because I had such an amazing weekend. Let’s back up and I’ll walk you through it. Ready? Okay. Saturday morning started bright and early. I met the cycle team that I’m coordinating at work for a ride though the Palisades. The team … Continue reading »
Quick Tuesday Inspiration
Borrowed from Nike Football: Enough said. Get out there! Tell me one thing: What’s one goal you have for this week? Mine is to go to a bike shop and get fitted. Hint Hint. More on that later!
Lifestyle Changes
Brendan said something to me last night that was like music to my ears. Like, your favorite song while driving along the beach with your windows down kind of music. “Maybe I just need to become a runner.” HOLD THE PHONE. Let me back up. Over our gourmet dinner last night, I was lamenting about … Continue reading »

I wanted to comment on every single one, but didn’t want people to think I was messing up the giveaway numbers! Maybe … Continue reading »
Strong Core Challenge!
It’s Tuesday! Only 2.5 more days ’til the Memorial Day weekend festivities begin. (Half day on Friday for me!) Fabulous. In un-related news…I don’t know about you guys, but I seriously need to work on a stronger core. We all know that having a strong core is vital to running; it improves your form and … 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 »
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 »
