Managing myself: the weekend plan

It’s time for my favorite part of the work week… the flight home! Okay, half-kidding about that. I’m actually really loving my job more and more now that I’m moving into a managerial role – I’m totally a people-person, and I love making task lists and organizing things, so it suits me really well. Of course, management has its challenges – it’s scary to be the one that’s blamed if anything goes wrong, and I have to quadruple-check everything – but overall, I’m liking it. Still, nothing compares to my Thursday evening flight home – when I get to be …

Sunday Funday and a Race Entry Giveaway!

Since there was just too much to tell about my epic 14 mile run for multiple cups of hot chocolate on Saturday, I neglected to tell you all about my Sunday. But now I shall. Saturday night, I stayed out far too late at a friend’s birthday. As in, despite not drinking very much, I was falling asleep on the subway on the way home. From Queens. Danger, Will Robinson! I was fortunate enough to have some good friends riding the subway with me, but it was otherwise not a good situation. Exhaustion + Laura does not = happy times. …

Ultimate Foodie Weekend, Part 2

Despite my late night at Per Se, there was no sleeping in for me – I was up at 7:30am on Sunday morning to take care of stuff around the apartment before my Athleta group run at 9:30. Unsurprisingly, I woke up not even a little bit hungry (hmm, wonder why?), so I skipped breakfast and tossed a protein bar in my bag to have after the Athleta run. Sunday’s discussion before the run focused on crosstraining. Crosstraining has really been the cornerstone of my running training – I would guess that I spend a lot more time lifting weights …

The Purpose of Rest Days

A few weeks ago, I was talking to my mom about her half marathon training. It was Wednesday, and she hadn’t had a chance to do a training run yet for the week, so she told me she planned to run one of the “weekday” runs on Thursday, the other “weekday” run on Friday, and then the “long weekend” run on Saturday. Sounds like she’s sticking with the plan, right? No, no, no! I realized that when I first set out the training plan, I hadn’t mentioned something that has become human nature to me, but is not necessarily common …

Cold for the Weekend

My weekend started out a bit early – after a big night out with my work team to celebrate our product launch, I had to get up Thursday morning at 4:30am to head for the airport. I’m wrapping up my current project with three days this week and two days next week (and diving into my next project next Wednesday – no breaks for me). After two quick flights, I landed in Albany, NY, at 9:30am – in time to catch up with my mom a bit, work from her house in the morning, and then head up to my …
