What the hell was I thinking? Why did I sign up for two half marathons in one weekend when yesterday’s three miler felt like the Bataan death march? I’m so f#$ked.
It’s worse than I thought
… I don’t know what that is… is that a fake mustache on a stick? #BrooklynHalf on Instagram
Two Possible Days
Behind Door #1… This morning I woke up at 5:30am and greeted the morning with a big smile on my face. I put on my super cute, perfectly coordinated outfit (with knee socks, duh) and got in an early morning 6 mile run through the woods and trails and across streams with my best girlfriends. … Continue reading »
Brooklyn 1/2
New York Roadrunners has gotten really into promoting the Brooklyn half. I’m kind of peeved with them, though, since they reopened the race and now it’s bigger and I’m still at the back of the pack. Does everyone in New York run faster than me? No, really. Given how crowded the Central Park races have … Continue reading »
Vacation all I ever wanted…

Yeah, those people are the same people who go hiking in the mountains and then expect everyone to drop everything and … Continue reading »
If only…
If only time would move as quickly on my runs as it does when I read Buzzfeed at work.
Dumb-o
Well, the dumbo and 10k medals are out now. And dammit, they’re cute. Really cute. I kept repeating to myself that I don’t do this for medals and overpriced races that are meaningless, I do this for personal betterment. To achieve what I once thought was impossible and push myself physically and mentally to improve … Continue reading »
Yeti Hands: Expedition Everest Challenge Recap
For the record, I didn’t want to do the Expedition Everest Challenge. I didn’t want to spend the money on a plane ticket and registration for a 5k. I’m a marathoner now, I don’t travel for 5ks. Oh, and I’m a total tool. After the Wine and Dine half, my sister wanted a legit, nice … Continue reading »
