My 2011 Resolutions: Mostly Successful!
I love New Year’s Resolutions. Like seriously adore them. I get to make a bunch of goals in list form — what in the world is better than that? And then I have an entire year to accomplish them. It’s a brilliant concept, really. So how did I do with my 2011 New Year’s Resolutions? […]
A Little Soul To Start My Day
Last night I wanted to do something involving sweat. But my legs felt like they had been filled with lead and beaten with several sticks, and I was sugar crashing hard. So instead of spinning or yoga-ing or something along those lines, I decided to sit on my couch and eat candy. Though, in between […]
Thankful Things Thursday: Happy Holidays!
It seemed like practically everyone on the subway this morning had big bags filled with wrapped gifts and massive suitcases in tow. When I say “in tow” I mean “thanks for running over my big toe with your giant bag, bitch.” Whoa. That escalated quickly, and I’m sorry. My toes are all just fine, despite […]
Q & A
You know what phrase kind of skeeves me out? “Burning questions.” I don’t know why. I just think it’s a little gross. I have a friend who shudders whenever she hears the phrase “reared its ugly head.” Brianne, I hope you’re not reading today. Sorry about that. First, because I blog about running and things, […]
My Friends Make Me Feel Festive
You know what’s important in life? Chocolate. Good drinks. Laughing. Also, and maybe most importantly, great friends. Even better? Great friends with chocolate who make you laugh while drinking good cocktails. And that pretty much sums up my Sunday. Yesterday was a pretty perfect day, and even though I have a ton of Christmas shopping […]
Ted Corbitt 15K Recap
Lately, my relationship with racing has been a little complicated. We’ve had some great times, but we’ve also been through some rough patches. You see, racing and me, we want to love each other, but sometimes one of us wants to run too fast and then gets tired and it just doesn’t work out in […]
My Brain Is The Problem
Remember when I ran the Las Vegas Half Marathon — and, uh, a handful of other races that didn’t go as planned this year — and I talked about how I had a really hard time during those last, oh, nine miles? Last night I had a revelation: My brain is the problem. My legs […]
10 Reasons To Love Winter Running
“It’s too cold.” “The gym is warm. I’ll go there and run on the treadmill.” “It’s too dark in the morning…and at night. I don’t want to run in the dark.” “I can’t breathe when I run in the cold. It hurts.” “It’s snowing, I can’t run in that.” Really? Really? Winter running isn’t for […]
On Garmin-Free Running
After the Las Vegas Half Marathon, I went on and on about how I was discouraged with racing. My brain wanted to go fast, but my legs couldn’t keep up. How dare they not work in perfect harmony, right? Rude. I never lost my love for running — that wasn’t the problem. I friggin’ love […]
I Heart Sweat Shirts For Sale!
Guess what’s in these boxes?! When I was raising money for the Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation through the Run For The Rabbit campaign, I knew that if I wanted to be the competition’s top fundraiser, I’d either need some super rich friends and contacts, or just one really good idea. While my friends and family […]
