All I’ve wanted to do the past week is sit down and re-live/think about/write about/talk about Ragnar. And drive back to Saratoga and do it all over again. It was an UNBELIEVABLE experience. One of the best weekends ever. I feel so much more confident about my running and have been on a running high … Continue reading »

Ragnar Relay Adirondacks: Preview
Team Maids of Dishonor will be at the starting line of Ragnar Adirondacks in THREE DAYS. That means I get to start packing. I get to start carb-loading (maybe?). I get to start jumping around the house in excitement. Oh wait, I’ve been doing that for like, two months now. The extent of my relay … Continue reading »
Viva Bike Vegas
Man, it feels good to be back on the East Coast. Not that I didn’t love my work trip to Las Vegas this past weekend, but I sure am exhausted! I was out supporting my Team In Training team as they participated in Viva Bike Vegas – a 122 mile ride through Las Vegas, including … Continue reading »
Pumpkin Pancakes
Happy Sunday! I just returned from a busy morning of yoga and a quick Trader Joe’s run. Have I ever mentioned how much I love grocery shopping there? It’s so inexpensive! Ironically a lot of the items are so much “cleaner” and organic, but a lot cheaper than the other grocery stores in my area. … Continue reading »
Fitness 4 Mile Race Recap + Long Run 9/15/12

Weekly Meal Planning
Is this a sign? I fully charge my Garmin. I run 7 stressful miles. I complain to a friend. Friend suggests I run GPS-less. I have an epiphany and declare I will run my next race sans technology. Garmin dies. Well, I don’t know if it “died” per se, but it’s abnormally drained of all … Continue reading »
A GW Story
I ran across the GW Bridge today! Check it off my “life to-do list”. After 4 miles of trying to find the entrance, I realized I had the world at my fingertips. Enter: Google. Spoiler: I found it. Actually, it was scarier than I thought. I hadn’t even imagined that I would feel the bridge … Continue reading »
A Philly Update
“Test” long run complete! Okay, so it was only 8 miles, which doesn’t qualify as a “long run” for most of you folks. But it was long enough to gauge how my body feels these days and if I can move forward. I’ve had 4 mile runs where my body would scream STOP, so I … Continue reading »
