Happy Halloween! As much as I love the fall, I don’t love Halloween. I’m not creative, even a little, so coming up with costume ideas is painful every year. Luckily, this year there was no dressing up. Much better plan. I should probably at least get candy in case kids show up, right? my favorite [...]

Sunday, I took the train back to Boston from NY and had probably the most pleasant travel experience possible. (we’ll ignore the fact the train was 20 min late) During the 4 hours I spent on the train, I realize that Amtrak travel is something I have a lot of experience with. I’ve taken a LOT [...]

I love racing. Its one of my favorite things to do on a weekend morning. I’m not sure how that happened, but it did. So obviously after the RnR 10K ended with me feeling like a rock star, all I can think about is racing. In the past 3 days, I’ve spent hours on Runners World, Active.com, [...]

Yesterday, I scheduled my post to go up right before I would be heading to brunch. Little did I know that instead, I’d be researching urgent care clinics that were open on Sundays, in hopes of avoiding the ER. So much fun right? I found CityMD online, gathered up all my stuff, in anticipation of [...]

After spending a few hours on the bus on Friday and picking up our race numbers, Breen, Chrissy, & I headed out to Brooklyn. We checked in to the hotel, scouted out the scene for breakfast & coffee. The hotel didn’t have a restaurant so realized that breakfast was going to be a challenge. (obviously [...]

happy thursday friends! Even though I was supposed to run yesterday, I decided a rest day was a better plan. The knee made me a little nervous, especially since I’m racing this weekend Can’t push it pre-race. I’m fairly certain real injury would make me cry. I wanted to be sure I tested it out [...]

There are a lot of new people in my life lately, for a variety of reasons. The blog is an awkward thing to talk about with new people. Some people think its great and make it easy to talk about. Others, I feel a lot more hesitant to bring it up. I’m not sure what [...]
