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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
