Thankful Things Thursday: Run Survival
So far I’m not too impressed with Thursday. I was beyond exhausted when I woke up, my stomach is giving me hell and it took three subway transfers to get to the office. I could let myself be cranky. That would be fun. I’d be punching people by 10 am. Orrrrrrr… I could give myself […]
Sometimes I Think I Can Do Anything
Oh hello, Tuesday. First, thank you all so much for the creative, original lunch ideas yesterday. For the first time maybe ever, I’m excited to go grocery shopping and stock up on some fun lunch things. You rock. I am grateful. Today I would like to talk about a thing I like to call “Exercising […]
I Actually Hate Talking About The Weather
Hey hey hey! It’s raining in NYC — and it’s supposed to rain all week. So get ready for lots of “Oh my gosh, can you believe it’s still raining?” conversations in the elevator. People love talking about the weather. But there’s plenty of other stuff to talk about today. In case you’re behind, allow […]
I Don’t Know How To Relax On The Weekend
I am heartbroken that this weekend is almost over. It’s been a weekend I needed, though, filled with a tough race, some quality gym time, yummy food (Chinese for dinner, oh yes), a good amount of sleep and lots of Ali time. After yesterday’s double morning session involving the UAE Healthy Kidney 10K and a […]
Healthy Kidney 10K Recap
I ran a 10K in Central Park this morning. My stomach didn’t explode during the race. That’s good. I wore hot pink. That’s also good. I came out of the race with a new 10K PR. Definitely good, right? (Even though it was only my second 10K ever.) But I’m not quite sure I’d consider […]
5 Fun Friday Things
That is pretty much the most clever title I can come up with today: 5 Fun Friday Things. I guess I just like alliteration, and I’m admittedly not feeling very clever or creative today. Alliteration, admittedly… Clever, creative… Like I said, I like word patterns. Anyway. Today is Friday the 13th, which means absolutely nothing […]
Thankful Things Thursday: Good Advice & Brussels Sprouts
Happy Thursday! I have a lot to be thankful for today, so let’s get right down to it! I’m thankful for my new, wonderfully fluffy, bright orange comforter. Have I not obsessed over this enough this week? I know, I have. But seriously, this blanket is magical and I can’t wait to complete the set […]
Hamptons Marathon Training: Week 2
Good morning! It’s only the second week of official training for the Hamptons Marathon, but already I’m loving having a coach and definitely enjoying following a specific training plan. As I mentioned yesterday, I was a little bitter when I got this week’s training plan and saw that Coach Cane had me resting on a […]
When Coach Says “Don’t Run”
It’s Monday…again. I swear, lately I blink and the weekend is over. Not cool. Not cool at all. If you’re catching up from the weekend, you didn’t miss much blogging on my end: On Friday, I celebrated my birthday! The day involved lots of sweets, lots of flowers and drinking in moderation lots of Pinot […]
Older & Wiser
Thank you all so much for the overwhelming birthday wishes yesterday! I felt very loved on the blog, Twitter, Facebook and, of course, in real life. (I know, real life? What’s that?) I had a lovely, low-key day, which was exactly what I wanted. Soooo yeah…everyone got me food. Do my friends know me or […]
