Lora recently got me thinking about my “best runs“. Since I can’t technically run normally right now (every run is filled with trepidation and fear, and I haven’t made it past 5K), I’ll just sit here and think about it instead. And try not to register for every race I see. (THERE ARE SO MANY … Continue reading »
…continued from Ragnar Adirondacks Leg #2 Finally, off Ashley went for her third and final double leg! It was freakin’ dark out there. Once we got back to the car and caught up with her, we realized just how creepy the roads were. Legit country roads. No civilization. No lights whatsoever…even the moon was covered … Continue reading »
(continued from Ragnar Adirondacks Leg #1…) …and off Ashley went! As she ran, darkness fell in the mountains. By the time we arrived at the next exchange where Erin would take over, it was pitch black outside. It had been a long day and was getting late, but everyone’s energy and excitement was contagious; we … Continue reading »
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 »
The Maids of Dishonor are on their way upstate New York! In about 14 hours, we will be at the starting line of Ragnar Adirondacks. Follow us here: http://twitter.com/maidsofdishonor Wish us luck… See you in the mountains!
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 »
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 »
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 »
I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but it’s fairly warm here in New York City. Hot outside, that is. I’m not going to go into all my hot weather running tips, because frankly, I don’t really have any. Honestly, I just do what I normally do. I maybe don’t wear compression socks. Or sweatshirts. You … Continue reading »
This morning, I pulled on some knee high compression socks, slapped on my Garmin, and tied up my ridiculously colored, un-matchable but comfy Brooks Launch shoes, and I ran 9 miles. 9 gloriously pain-free miles (for the most part). I started out a little achy which seems to be normal for me. After the first 2-3 miles … Continue reading »
