Happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers out there. Especially, my wonderful Mom. When I was little, she put little notes in my lunch box. She would always draw me a smiley face. She put up with this girl. She made me drink milk so I’d be stronger. When I got my dog Wyatt in college, … Continue reading »
If anyone’s noticed, I’ve been basically non-existent from pretty much all things social media and blogging lately. It wasn’t planned, but it was incredibly refreshing. The week before Christmas turned out to be extremely busy at work, and then I traveled to the magical land that is Iowa (and let me tell you, it’s NEVER … Continue reading »
This was supposed to be a “Winter Running Gear” post to disguise the fact that I’m jumping on the bandwagon and adding a “holiday gifts” post to the ocean of holiday gift blog posts these days.

After my family’s holiday celebration/serious breakfast of champions, I went on a run, took the dog for a walk, did some core work, and watched “A Christmas Story” on TBS no less than five times. Now I’m … Continue reading »
I am le tired. New York City over the holidays. The last Saturday before Christmas Eve. Brutal. I feel more exhausted from walking around the city all day than I think I would be if I had run 10 miles. I really wish I had been able to take off on a long run through … Continue reading »
I played tour guide yesterday for my Mom and family friends who came to visit me in NYC for the week. I finally visited the 9-11 Memorial. One of the names is of a firefighter who was a friend of my boyfriend’s family. We also visited Bryant Park: And, the Empire State Building. Lots and … Continue reading »
It’s snowing! Not really, but if you look closely you will notice gently falling snowflakes on my blog. I saw that it was an option so of course I checked “yes, please!” Now that I set up our Christmas Tree, I’m in a very holiday-ish mood. I wish our crazy snowstorm in October would have … Continue reading »
