Thankful Things Thursday: Making A Bad Day Good
I woke up this morning ridiculously happy for many reasons: I had a great night last night that was equal parts fun and productive. I painted my toenails, baked a dessert for this weekend, cleaned and put together my new (used) coffee table, and then I had dinner and drinks with a friend. I wasn’t […]
Happy National Running Day!
I’m sure by now you’ve heard: Today is National Running Day! I love that runners get a holiday, and I love that we celebrate it by doing what we do best: lacing up and hitting the road, trail or treadmill. Of course, it would be nice if we also got the day off to take […]
No Stress, No Crohn’s
Good morning! I’m pleased to report that I’m feeling good today. I got a solid 5 hours of sleep (I know, I know, not enough — but it was good, air conditioned sleep) and woke up today rested and ready to kick off a 3-day work week. In case, like me, you went mostly unplugged […]
Memorial Day Weekend 2011
Um…Can every weekend be a long weekend? Everything about the past few days has been perfect. Since we last caught up, I’ve been to 16 Handles… I’ve been to Brooklyn… …and — surprise, Mom! — I’ve been to New Hampshire. It’s been a whirlwind weekend, but here’s a bit more about why it was so […]
Sweaty Saturday
I’m in love with this warm weather! Sure, it means I get that sexy upper-lip sweat by the time I get to the subway in the morning, and it requires me to wake up beyond early on the weekends to run before the heat hits, but it’s worth it. Sunshine = happiness. After work yesterday […]
Thankful Things Thursday: Summer In The City Edition
The sun is shining. I woke up smiling. Summer is almost here. It’s Thursday. I don’t know how today can possibly be a bad day. Hopefully you all feel the same. Before we get down to business, let me just say Wow! I love love loved the comments on yesterday’s “I am finally a runner […]
The Day I Finally Felt Like A Runner
A few weeks ago, I was at a photo shoot for work. We were shooting our July cover girl, who is the super-successful daughter of two beyond-successful parents — both Broadway superstars and Tony Award-winners. I sat at the shoot being totally charmed by this effervescent young woman. She seemed to have everything going for […]
My Brain Says Go, My Body Says No
I’m writing this post from the comfort of my own apartment, where I’ve set up shop for the day. (Needless to say there will be no office bathroom outfit photo today — I’m wearing pajamas right now.) My body is feeling pretty run down today. Between the recent stomach issues and a huge lack of […]
Weekend Wrap-Up
Good morning! How was everyone’s weekend? Wonderful? [Yes.] Filled with running? [Yup.] Filled with ice cream? [No, sadly.] Filled with catching up on sleep? [Definitely not.] I ran the Brooklyn Half Marathon on Saturday (Here’s the full recap.) and although the race didn’t go as hoped or planned, I learned a few good lessons along […]
Brooklyn Half Marathon Recap
I wish I could tell you all that today’s race was perfect and wonderful and that I have a shiny new PR. Sorry. That’s not the recap you’re getting. Today’s race was my roughest one yet — but rest assured, you’re about to get all the lovely details. Porta Potties are involved. Last night I […]
