Marathon myth: Test your outfit before race day

running / 4 Comments

In this weekend’s marathon, I had the chance to wear a brand new all-Athleta ensemble. I went a little nuts at their semi annual sale a few weeks ago, and at first I picked out the adorable hot pink PR tank and gray Quick Step capris that I’m wearing in my official Athleta profile. However, the more I thought about running in mid-60s temps (glorious!), I realized that I would probably be hot in capris, so I decided to pick up another outfit instead. When I went shopping again, Athleta’s new spring line had just started coming in, so I …

Power to the She!

goal setting / 13 Comments

I have been keeping a big secret from all of you for a little while. But today, I am super duper excited to finally reveal what it is!!! A few months ago, I heard about the free fitness classes offered at Athleta, and I decided to head for the store and give them a try. I headed over for a group run in Central Park, and had a blast meeting new friends and checking out the store. I liked it so much that I went back again a few weeks later – and this time, the store manager approached me. …

Running (and dancing and eating and drinking) with friends

health and fitness, running / 1 Comment

When I laid out my plans for the weekend on Thursday, I didn’t fully intend to accomplish all of them. That was a lot of workouts schedule for just one two day weekend! However, I ended up doing all but one, and had a ball in the process. Viva la busy lifestyle! I woke up on Saturday surprisingly sore – presumably from the bootcamp I attended with Katelyn on Friday morning. When I caught up with her later in the weekend, we both agreed that we thought we had wussed out and given up far too early on the workout …

Beginner’s Half Marathon Training Plan – Week 1

running / 3 Comments

While last week was the official kickoff of the Athleta half marathon training program that I’m leading, it was a bit quiet last week due to it being New Year’s Day – we had a small group of four. This week, however, about a dozen women showed up for the seminar and run, and I started to realize just how popular it was going to become! I also got some requests from people who don’t live in NYC to share the training plan, and that gave me an idea – why not post the plan as well as some highlights …

Fabulously Fit Friday

health and fitness, running / 5 Comments

Today has gone mostly as planned. Woke up at 6am and headed over to Central Park, where I met Katelyn, and we jogged across the park and down 86th Street to Athleta UES. We were taking a “cardio conditioning” class, and for reasons unbeknownst to us, we were told to bring a yoga mat. In case you were wondering how much a yoga mat weighs, it is approximately 50 pounds (not the 5 pounds that I would have guessed). At least, that was my assumption given that it made me run as slowly as if I had gone on a …
