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 »
all in the evening (with the exception of Thursday) on days I don’t typically run scheduled around in person work and a COVID booster in tandem with walks to and from the office on two days the end of Malibu Half training and… they happened. Which I wasn’t 100% confident in when I woke to… Read More »
I have a love/hate relationship with social media, but had my fifteen minutes of fame on Thursday-Friday when I tweeted about the ridiculous lack of recognition that SVU was getting for 500 episodes and the role that a woman lead, director and executive producer played. Somehow that was seen by the show runners and well,… Read More »
Mom found the pic on the left on her phone, which sort of inspired the one on the right. We’re guessing it was from summer 2007 just before I chopped my hair for Locks of Love, although it was reddish by the time I cut it. I miss the braids, but can’t fathom growing it… Read More »
