Running through life while balancing healthy eating and single motherhood
As soon as my son gets on the bus this morning for school, I am off to the city for the Fitness Magazine Meet & Tweet. I am super excited to attend once again this year but the stress of driving through midtown rush hour traffic in the rain and somehow making it home in time for my son is certainly […]
Weekends sure fly by, don’t they? I am so glad I ran my errands on Friday as I had planned. After we spoke on Friday, I met a friend for our weekly Panera coffee chat (I really need to cut down the coffee, I know I know) and then headed to Whole Foods because I […]
Is it really Friday already? My afternoon escapade to Manhattan yesterday was great for the soul but completely confused my internal calendar. My plan was to window shop before lunch but this tank top was calling my name as soon as I reached the second floor of Lord and Taylor. It would go against […]
Good morning 2014! I had no intentions of being out last night. In fact, I can’t recall the last New Year’s Eve that I spent in a restaurant or anywhere outside of a friend’s house or the comforts of my own home. I was not exactly in the fa-la-la mood as you may or […]
What should we discuss first today? The Healthy Brand Showcase or my first attempt at roasting the much-loved Kabocha Squash? Let’s start at the beginning. I ran an easy 6 miles before leaving for the city. My runs have been great and I attribute it all to the suddenly chilly early morning air. The view never […]
I am glad today is Wednesday. Not because we are halfway through a tough week or that I am excited for the weekend to arrive, not even because I am heading into the city soon for a Healthy Brand Showcase. I am glad today is Wednesday because yesterday was my hungry day and that is […]
When I turned 35 a few months ago, I entered a new age bracket. And, I have concluded that checking the 35-39 box isn’t half bad. I decided at the last minute to run the Robert McAvoy 5-mile race in Long Beach yesterday morning and actually finished second for my age group. The weather was icky, sticky and misty. The boardwalk […]
I did not have a good run yesterday morning. At all. Three Ways To Set Yourself Up For Disaster: 1 – WARM UP – I know we are supposed to warm up before running but I have found that for me, if I start out walking even more than 10 steps from my front door, I don’t run as well. […]
Good Monday morning! I know you have been patiently waiting to hear how many miles I ran on Saturday. I wish I could tell you exactly. But I can’t. While my run was divine, at some point around the 7 mile mark I accidentally hit pause on my phone which froze MapMyRun for easily half a […]
While the rest of my fellow New Yorkers were heading east Friday afternoon out of the city and to the island, I was leaving Long Island and heading west. Into the city. I snapped this photo of the Freedom Tower while I waited to go through the Midtown Tunnel. I can tell you that it was a […]
I just wanted to pop in for a quick hello – I am heading out the door to get myself into the city to attend the Fitness Magazine Meet and Tweet! The event is being held at one of Manhattan’s newest, largest and trendiest gyms, The Mercedes Club. I am super excited! I will be sure to […]
