There’s nothing like that one warm day after a string of wintery days…that abnormally toasty day in early, early Spring, when EVERYONE goes outside, everyone is in a good mood, and there are puppies everywhere. Today is not that day. Tomorrow isn’t looking good either. I’ve been feeling pretty sick over the past couple of … Continue reading »
Miami, you’ve really outdone yourself. This past weekend, I was in Miami for work; more specifically, for the ING Miami Marathon. I get to travel to marathons for work. How did I get so lucky? I went with a team of about 25 people who fundraised for LLS and trained for the Miami full or … Continue reading »
The circumstances preceding this half-marathon were less than ideal for running. I was up late dancing at a wedding. I drank a little wine and cinnamon-sugar rimmed pumpkin beer. I did eat carbs…probably way too many. My head hit the pillow hard around 1AM. Did I mention I had an 8:30AM start time, and 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 »
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 »
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 »
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 »
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 »
You know how Runner’s World publishes “Rave Runs” each month, complete with photos and stories about the route? I totally had my own rave run this weekend. MY OWN! I don’t know where my personal running photographer was though, he must have been out for brunch. Dang, I could have been in Runner’s World. Next … Continue reading »
Long run? What’s that? The Queens 10K is coming up on Sunday and I hate to admit that I’ve barely even run 6.2 miles in the past few weeks. Yikes. I’ve just been feeling all lactic-acidy and just sluggish. What’s the deal? Can someone please send some inspiration my way? What happened to KARA … Continue reading »
