Running through life while balancing healthy eating and single motherhood
The winner of the #NYTough P & G Product Giveaway is Amy Laforte! Congrats Amy and thank you to everyone for entering! Recap time! As tired as I was Saturday night after running the 5k and 10k, I made it a point to take out my computer and start jotting down some thoughts from […]
Are you superstitious? I am. One of my superstitions is this fear of jinxing myself when it comes to discussing certain topics out loud. You may have noticed that I shy away from a certain topic in particular…. Running Injuries Ahhh! I said it out loud! Time to knock on wood… Aside from my random-out-of-nowhere-still-can’t-explain-how-or […]
We won’t discuss that this was one of the last weekends left of summer. So. If you recall, my running plan for the weekend was to mimic the Runner’s World Hat Trick which is coming up in October. Saturday’s Run: Since the first day of the Hat Trick will be a 5K followed by […]
Oh hi. Let’s catch up with a thought per picture again, okay? My friends and I realized Friday night during a beautiful evening happy hour at Prime that we take living on an island for granted. For your information, my idea of happy hour involves water spiked with a lemon wedge, especially when running long the […]
Friday may have been all rainy and icky outside but the rest of the weekend was just fabulous. View from the Allegria Hotel rooftop yesterday afternoon. Last Monday I recapped the weekend with a thought per picture and I think I shall do it again. My Pro Compression calf sleeves and I have become best […]
I had been mentally planning to run a four mile race this morning but was waiting until the last-minute to sign up because I wanted to ensure the weather forecast was ideal and that honestly, I didn’t have anything else on the agenda that I felt like doing instead. I love to run and I don’t […]
Yep, I finished the Long Island Half Marathon! Three minutes slower than last year but I will take it. I am never one to stress over anything but this race was an exception. After last month’s Fitness Magazine half where I didn’t feel well and had to stop, I couldn’t get the feeling out of […]
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 […]
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 […]
Hi friends! I just wanted to pop in quickly and say hello! My friend saw me at the end of my 11 mile run this morning and snapped this picture to prove that not only am I capable of sweating but I am, as she said, glistening. She also told me that running in the HHH (hazy, hot, humid) […]
Happy Monday! I hope everyone enjoyed their weekend as much as I did. How funny that racing 13.1 miles on a Sunday morning which requires me to be up and out of the house by 6:15 am = enjoyable weekend for me. Really, if my high school gym teacher could just see me now. Perhaps […]
Rise and Shine! I hope it is beautiful outside where you live and that you are able to take advantage of the spring weather by doing something outdoors. I was up and out early for my run and may I just say, I am LOVING my new Brooks Glycerin sneakers. Foot pain? GONE! I was […]
