Gym Pet Peeves
First, let me show you my dinner from last night, because I am a ridiculously talented chef. That’s right. While some of you were whipping up chickens or pastas or chia seeded oatmeals, I made English Muffin Pizzas, side of Brussels sprouts. Oh, you want the recipe? Sure. Brussels Sprouts: Cut up sprouts. Wash them […]
“I Want” Vs. “I Need”
Hello! If you were one of the lucky ones who got to enjoy a three-day weekend, welcome back! I hope you took advantage of that extra day off and did something awesome, like went skydiving, or slept past 8 am. If you didn’t have a long weekend, I’m sorry. I hope you still did something […]
Overcoming My Night Running Fear
Just about every week, I get an email or Facebook message from Coach Cane or Mrs. Coach Cane. On Thursday nights, Coach Cane holds group runs with his City Coach team. The group is stocked with world-class triathletes who win stuff all the time. For an average-but-trying-to-get-faster runner such as myself, that’s a little intimidating. […]
I Want To Run Faster
So from what I gathered yesterday, we’re all a bunch of crazies. I’m glad it’s not just me. Your comments on yesterday’s post about being nasty and stressed instead of fun and carefree were hilarious and I loved them. Oh. Were they not supposed to be funny? Well I thought they were good. Now let’s […]
Joe Kleinerman 10K Recap
I’ve never liked the 10K distance. It’s too far to sprint, but it’s not quite as long or rewarding to me as the half marathon. I also haven’t loved racing recently. And yet, thanks to a lot of peer pressure, I somehow found myself registered to run yesterday’s Joe Kleinerman 10K race in Central Park […]
Random Facts Friday
I did it again. I foam rolled. I planked. I stretched. I know, I specifically said I was not going to do these things, but sometimes they just happen. I dragged myself out of bed for a spin class this morning, and I got there painfully early to make sure I signed up for a […]
The Resolutions I Should Have Made But Didn’t Because They’re Too Difficult
Yes, I’m still talking about New Year’s Resolutions. I’d rather talk about that than the weather. Did you hear? It’s cold out today. Weird, since it’s winter and stuff… I still ran this morning, despite the brisk wind I could hear plowing into the windows all night. I went to Central Park for five slow-moving […]
Measuring My Year In Sweat
I don’t know if you know this, but I think sweating is cool. While some people measure their years in how much they achieved, or in daylights or sunsets or midnights or cups of coffee (RENT? Anyone? No. OK.), I prefer to look back on my year and assess how much I perspired. After all, […]
My 2012 New Year’s Resolutions
Have you heard? It’s no longer 2011. We have officially entered 2012 territory, and so far I’d say the new year is off to a kickin’ start, wouldn’t you agree? Brian and I expertly executed our “get the heck out of New York City and let’s not tell anyone where we’re going plan,” and rang […]
The Lessons I Learned In 2011
It’s safe to say I learned more in the past 12 months than I did during any year in middle school, high school or college. Sorry, Mom and Dad. Sure, in high school I learned about parabolas and I read some great American novels and stuff, and in college I learned the most efficient way […]
