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 »

Hill Repeats
Hill. Repeats. I hate you but I love you. Day 3 of Brooklyn Half training: 4 miles total 1-ish mile warmup 4 x hill repeats 1-ish mile cooldown Do you like how specific that is? I didn’t know in advance exactly how long my chosen hill was, so I warmed up for about a mile, … Continue reading »
Four Miles and Dirt Road Anthem
Oh, hey there! Hope you are having a lovely weekend – I’ve had a great one so far! I saw my Jayhawks win on Friday night. I went to a Kansas bar and was surrounded by all my fellow NYC-based KU alumni. I cannot stress the importance of being with fans of your own team … Continue reading »
Happy Spring!

It wasn’t … Continue reading »
Too Much Candy and My Running Must Haves
I had a very sugary weekend. Although the “heart shaped” cookies I tried to make didn’t exactly look like hearts, they were still pretty delicious if I say so myself. I’m speaking in past tense because yes, they are already gone. (For the record, I live with boys AND I took some to a friends … Continue reading »
