Running through life while balancing healthy eating and single motherhood
I spent hours upon hours when I was younger planning out my outfits each day for school. It was a whole event which involved pants thrown around the room and phone calls with my friends (well before face time) just so we could discuss what we thought we may want to wear, what look […]
Thinking Out Loud posts are a lot like what our phone conversations would sound like if we were actually speaking instead of me writing and you reading. Although, I rarely talk on the phone since I prefer to text and I never really talk about running with my friends because they don’t run but when I am […]
I talk and text with so many people in a day and I consider my blog writing a form of communication as well therefore I often forget who I tell what and in what form I tell it. Did I tell you… That Lulu Lemon has an in-house tailor? You can even have your work-out […]
I tend to reserve more in-depth discussions for Tuesday, formerly known as Three Tip Tuesday. Lately I have dropped the Three Tip part and find myself simply sticking to topics rather than looking for three tips. Topic Tuesday? A few of you have asked me recently to address running for beginners, including one of my close friends […]
Can we just start today with me telling you how sweet you all are? Your birthday wishes and the fact that you listen to me ramble on about chocolate cake means the world to me. Like really. The world. Can’t thank you guys enough. And don’t think for one second that I don’t plan on […]
Happy Memorial Day! My breakfast looks all festive, doesn’t it? Trust me, I didn’t do it on purpose. I hope the weather by you is as beautiful as the weather is here in New York at the moment. Now how could a race be anything but great when you are running in […]
I was so excited to put together my favorite apparel and accessories for running in the warm weather until I realized something kind of crucial which may or may not hinder my ability to make recommendations… We are all so different. Not only are our bodies completely different in terms of size, we are […]
My hormones and I are feeling much better today thank you. In fact, a good venting was all they really seemed to need yesterday as after we spoke, I headed out for a terrific run. Somewhere in the fourth mile I decided the run was terrific simply because I hadn’t noticed what music was […]
Is it weird that I have never needed an alarm clock in my entire life? Like, if you tell me that I must be up at 4:00 am to give myself some time before getting out the door for a race, I will be up on schedule? I think it’s weird. Or maybe just one […]
They say the heart is the strongest muscle in the body. Our hearts have the ability to overpower our minds and make us do things that perhaps our brains would normally disagree with. Regardless of what you “think” you should do or not do, if you feel it in your heart, that is typically what guides […]
Amanda, our Thinking Out Loud link-up host, is currently on a beautiful beach somewhere in Hawaii soaking up the sunshine. While I miss her terribly, she deserves this trip after a grueling winter in Edmonton where the temperatures have been far worse than any Polar Vortex a New Yorker like me can complain about. 1. […]
I couldn’t help but laugh to myself only an hour or so after my post on Saturday. Remember my “summer-like” remark about the weather for Saturday’s long run? I left my house to go out for the day and suddenly found myself caught in what seemed like a blizzard. Explain it I can’t and neither could the radio […]
