I was all set to post my Cherry Blossom recap for this week’s run down, but…. that’s not done. Also in the queue, reviews of both Des Linden and Kara Goucher’s amazing books. I said somewhere that I was grateful to both for giving us some space between their publication dates, and then I read… Read More »
I runfess that this isn’t my favorite race, but the marquee NYC races always bring folks to the city and seeing people is most definitely my favorite. Linking up with Kim and Deborah and sharing link to Zenaida’s recap to talk about the race and weekend that was. I knew going in this would be my 13th… Read More »
With Saturday’s 8 miler-the long run from last week in order to taper-the long runs for NYC Half training are done. Linking up with Deborah and Kim for some thoughts on that and a quick look at this week: My 2023 goal as it related to this race was Complete the Matt Wilpers Half Marathon… Read More »
With yesterday’s Saturday’s 11 mile run, I am officially tapering. Two weeks from this writing, I will be done with the NYC Half Marathon. With the exception of the Manhattan Bridge when I ran to DUMBO, I haven’t run the course. But in honor of the last double digit run, I did run some in… Read More »
Spotted on Saturday’s long run. Harlem River Park is a very underused portion of the greenway. The entrance is so poorly marked, I’m not sure I ever completed it during my #GreatManhattanLoop project (ssh don’t tell!) and we definitely didn’t use it during the Great Saunter. Like so many pieces of the east side greenway,… Read More »
Stealing Jessie’s format for this. EEK. It’s not so much that the race is four weeks away as I can’t figure out where January and February went. Linking up with Kim and Deborah to talk about this week. it’s not missing a Monday if I ran two days in a row. Long overdue drinks with… Read More »
One of those crazy weeks that you just have to navigate to get through training. But I did. Training is going well. The workouts may not have happened on the days they were slated, but they all did and the week’s long run felt strong despite some fueling issues. It’s nuts to realize the NYC… Read More »
One of my unwritten 2023 goals was more self care. Sometimes the tool to accomplish that is a screen break. I was grateful too to be able to spend some time outdoors, which is always medicinal. While I worked from Mom & Bob’s one day, it was also wonderful to take a true vacation. Linking… Read More »
one of the things I’ve missed since 2018* is travel spontaneity. With COVID-19, the planning life cycle was both longer and shorter, if that makes sense. I’d be thinking abut a trip further in advance, but I hesitated to book because I wasn’t sure if the thing I was going for would happen, flights would… Read More »
so I runfess, that I missed my running anniversary. Strava told me when it showed last year’s celebration run, and then I saw Facebook memories marking the trip back from Florida that launched this running journey. But that’s OK, because it has always been an anniversary “season” because I had the date wrong the second… Read More »
