Thankful Things Thursday: The Good In People
Have I told you lately that I love you? Rod Stewart knows what’s up. That is a Rod Stewart song, right? But seriously. When I wrote yesterday’s post about how “Crohn’s Disease is a dirty bitch” I was basically just venting my current frustrations with this beast of a disease. I had no idea it […]
Frustration
I’ve spent all morning trying to write a post in my head. A positive post. A happy post. A post that will enlighten you and make you feel like today is going to be the greatest day in the world. And trust me, I hope that today is the greatest day in your world! But, […]
From The Home Office
It’s funny. Yesterday, after I wrote that whole “I skipped to work and life is rainbows” post, my day went from calm to crazy. Within minutes, I transformed from a nice, smiling girl into a stressed out monster. My day was busy and insane and not nearly as productive as I would have liked. Luckily, […]
Another Best Weekend Ever
Happy Monday! I have a feeling it’s going to be a great week. But I may be biased, because I’m only working three full days, then I head out in the late afternoon on Thursday for a long weekend in Charlotte, NC, with my favorite bride-to-be. That’s a few days away, though, so let’s talk […]
Mini 10K Recap
I didn’t PR at yesterday’s Mini 10K, but it was a successful race by so many other standards. Marathon training is quickly teaching me that there are more ways to measure a race than by your finish time. Here’s how the weekend went down… I used Friday as a total rest day in order to […]
Thankful Things Thursday: I Love Runner Friends
It’s another scorcher in NYC today. And you know what? I’m fine with it. And, judging from the comments on yesterday’s post, you guys are fine with it, too — or at least you all have some awesome hot weather/beat-the-sweat coping mechanisms. One thing I’ve learned since living in a city where you do so […]
Let’s Talk About Sweat & Stress
Before I get into the few things I have to say this morning, I need to start this post with an urgent question: Ladies and gentlemen, how the heck do you survive in the summer without being a sweaty mess? I’m not kidding. Answer me, because I need to know. The high in NYC today […]
A Changed Runner
Good morning! It’s a beautiful day in NYC — the last beautiful day of the week, most likely, before we enter a crazy heat wave. Good thing I got an air conditioner this weekend. Good thing I haven’t installed it yet… Really good thing I have many friends in the area who already have AC […]
What You Do When You Go To Fire Island
I’m back. I’m not happy about being back. Spending three glorious days in Fire Island was exactly what I’ve been needing. I relaxed. I napped (a lot). I ate delicious food. I ran. It was three days of pure bliss and perfection. I also completely abstained from social media. I didn’t blog. I didn’t Tweet. […]
Off To Fire Island!
I don’t think it’s possible for me to be in a better mood right now. I have to make this post quick because in an hour I’m meeting Lauren and we’re heading out to Fire Island for the weekend. I love Lauren no matter what, but the fact that her mom has a house in […]
