Running is not killing me… work is.

running, travel / 7 Comments

I wrote half of this yesterday, but with work being crazy, finished it and am posting it today. I’ll try to post something else later today to make up for my lapse. Because I’m such a good little Millenial (really interesting article here), I call my mom everyday and have a very close relationship with her. However, before I go any further, I’d like to clarify a few things. My mom does not: Provide me with any money. Though she would in a heartbeat if I was in trouble and asked for it. Call my work, or in fact, know …

Healthy Hotel Review: Hilton Boston Back Bay

travel / 1 Comment

I stayed at the Hilton two weeks ago, and wrote most of this then, but have been slow to post it. I’m staying at the Westin right now, and I find that I keep adding to this review as I compare it to the Westin. For the record, I like the Hilton much better… but the Westin has a treadmill/spinning bike in my room, which is the only reason I stay here.

My first marathon training run (or, how I survived my first hangover)

running / 6 Comments

This started at 9, and when we got there at 11, it was absolutely packed. Within five minutes of our arrival, they ran out of beer (no, I was not responsible for that – in fact, I had not even managed to get a bartender’s attention yet). People cleared out pretty quickly, but we decided to stay and enjoy the jager. The place was far from empty, but it was definitely more comfortable than before, and we even …

Healthy Meal: Pork Chops with Cran-Apple Sauce, Scallion Potatoes, and Snap Peas

cooking / Leave a Comment

I first made this recipe last summer, and really liked it. When pork chops went on sale at Gristedes, I figured I’d try the recipe again and post it here for you all to enjoy as well 🙂 Recipe notes for the pork chop and sauce:I used a pretty big pork chop (6 oz instead of the standard 4), because I was really hungry. I grilled it on my Foreman instead of pan searing it, which meant no oil was necessary. For the sauce, I used a whole apple, 1/8 cup of dried cranberries, and 1/2 cup of juice, which …
