Giveaway: SELF Magazine Workout in the Park NYC!

Uncategorized / 8 Comments

So remember how I decided to do Insanity? It was in part because a friend invited me and in part to save money, but it was also partially because I remembered it being OMGTHEHARDESTWORKOUTEVER and I thought it would whip me into insane shape. Instead, I found out that I’m apparently already in much better shape than I thought I was – and that maybe it’s not right for me after all. The first workout of Insanity is a fit test. You do eight exercises for one minute each, as fast as you can, counting the reps as you go …

Gotta love having friends who love working out as much as I …

This weekend, my dad suffered a heart attack. He was taken to the hospital and made it into surgery very quickly, thank god, and damage was minimal as a result. When I finally made it up to Albany to see him, I was pleasantly surprised how lively and energetic he was, which made me so happy.

Beer Festival / Giveaway

Uncategorized / 19 Comments

I’m tired of whining about my weight, so this week, I decided something big. I decided to give up my beloved beer. It only takes one look at my blog header to know that I’m someone who enjoys going out and having fun. Despite all the marathons I’ve run, I’ve always been insistent that it be balanced with fun. (The guy I’m currently seeing told me he was surprised when he met me in person, because he thought based on my profile that I would want to eat salad all day long and never touch alcohol and run a million …

Weekend Recap: Workout in the Park and Scavenger Hunt

Uncategorized / 2 Comments

Now that I’m finally all caught up on my race reports, let’s do a little weekend catch up, shall we? Since I was going to be out of town for the next two weeks due to RRCA certification, the Colfax Marathon, and the Vermont City Marathon, a big part of my weekend plans revolved around getting to see friends and the guy I’ve been seeing. Lately the work travel has really been wearing on me for the simple reason that I don’t get enough time in NYC to see everyone! While in the past, I’ve taken many trips around the …
