So I’m technically 10K training, but my running/schedule was all over the place this week so it didn’t feel like it. Linking up with Deborah and Kim to look at the week that was. never miss a Monday: I don’t know what it is, but I’m having real trouble getting going in the morning even… Read More »
It has been a good last twelve months for running reads: Molly Huddle and Sara Slattery’s How She Did It, Lauren Fleshman’s Good for a Girl, Alison Mariela Desir’s Running While Black in fall 2022 and then Kara Goucher and Des Linden’s books in March and April, respectively. I said somewhere that I was glad their… Read More »
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 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 »
