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 …

TGIT

career, health and fitness, running / 2 Comments

TGIT? Nope, not a typo. Thank Goodness It’s Thursday! My consulting buddy Adam and I often joke about Thursdays being the “consultant’s Friday,” because in the crazy world of consulting, we travel to our clients on Monday morning and return home on Thursday evening. While Friday doesn’t quite become a three day weekend, we have the choice of working from our local office or from home on Fridays – and unless there’s an event or other reason to go into the office, I usually choose the latter. On Fridays, it’s expected that we’ll spend some of our time supporting the …

Courons à la Cassoulet!

running / 4 Comments

I know I should be posting my New Year’s resolutions today, but I am still just so undecided! One thing that I learned about last year were that the resolutions I didn’t keep were those that weren’t that important to me. Remember: (Thanks to Jocelyn for providing a great picture that displays one of my favorite quotes) When I looked back on my goals from last year, the ones I didn’t accomplish had a common theme – they were goals that became less important to me as the year went on. To set myself up for success this year, I’m …

Planning my weekend warrior workouts

health and fitness / 2 Comments

When the cabin door of the airplane shuts and the flight attendant makes the usual announcement to turn off all portable electronic devices, I have to admit, I don’t always adhere right away. I know that she’s going to make a few other announcements and do a few other checks before she heads down to aisle to check for seatbelts and electronic compliance. So maybe I keep catching up on email and blogs for just a few more minutes. But then I shut down, and out comes the notepad and whatever book I’m currently reading (tonight: Extra Virginity: The Sublime …

Weekend warrior gets some war wounds

health and fitness, running / 5 Comments

My Friday morning started off healthy and wonderful – with a 4.5 mile jog by the river. I felt a bit slow as I ran, but didn’t worry about it, since I wasn’t trying to achieve a certain pace – just trying to shake out my legs a little bit and break a sweat. However, thanks to the accountability of posting my runs to Twitter/Facebook, my buddy Adam later pointed out my pace – around an 8:45 average. I hadn’t even noticed that, and was very excited that 8:45 seems to be my new “so comfy it feels slow” pace. …
