OMG. What a glorious day!!
This is going to be a quick post, but I just wanted to let everyone know that I did successfully run the New Orleans Half Marathon today.
2:00:39
Not so shabby!!
It wasn’t all rainbows and sunshine, and I definitely seriously struggled at times. BUT it was truly wonderful and such an amazing experience [...]

Reason #1 Blogging is Awesome

One of my absolute favorite things about having a blog is being able to read the search engine terms that lead people here. Every time I look at them, I can’t help but giggle. I LOVE when Food Newtowrk Humor shares emails they receive and the weird things people google to let them end up there, so I decided [...]
Less Than A Week

That’s right. I am less than a week away from my first race ever. It will not only be my first race, but my first time running more than 10 miles.
I keep wavering between being really excited and incredibly nervous. I think that I would be more excited if I didn’t have such a busy [...]

Good week for me this week on the workout front! I (finally) ran 30 miles for the first time since the marathon. I also got six workouts in, including lifting twice. I’m totally back!
Furthermore, I attended another CPTC workout!!! I’m two for two! This week was actually really, really fun. I was less nervous, as [...]
Out of Sight, Out of Mind

Ok, it’s time for a reality check. I may be running and working out 5-6 days a week (big win!), but I’m not eating all that healthily (fail.). When Megan and I started the blog, I really was super motivated to exercise and eat well, and I was pretty successful. I lost a decent amount [...]
I Mean, It’s Only Been Your Goal for Six Weeks.

That’s what Chris (Felicia’s fiance) said to me Thursday night when I victoriously entered the apartment, proclaiming that I had FINALLY done it and attended a Central Park Track Club workout!!
Right when I had “run out of excuses,” the Blizzard of 2010 provided me with an excellent one! As someone prone to catastrophic falls, both while running [...]

Oh heyyy. Guess WHAT!? I finallllly went to Central Park Track Club’s Thursday night workout!!! Not like I have been trying to psych myself up to go for weeks and weeks or anything…
It turned out to not be that scary, although everyone was pretty fast. I’ll have a separate post recapping Thursday’s adventure (which [...]
Why Do You Do It??

Felicia’s comments in this post have really gotten me thinking over the past few weeks. Specifically, towards the end of the post, she said ”Running is wonderful, but I know that combining it with more strength training will result in the leaner look that I’d prefer.” Reading that sentence resulted in that weird feeling that you get when you’re [...]

SNOW DAY!! I couldn’t be any happier about the fact that my office is closed today due to the blizzard currently happening outside. I got to sleep in today, actually did my speed workout and then got to enjoy some of Megan’s delicious buffalo chicken pizza. It’s 3:30pm, and it’s already been a fantastic day.
It’s [...]
Megan’s Weekly Workout Recap
Posted in Uncategorized on February 9, 2010 | 6 Comments »
Oh hey!! I’m BACK and better than ever with my weekly workout recap. Last week was…interesting, annoying, and delightful. It was interesting and annoying because I had this super super disgusting cough. The kind that makes people on the subway give you judging looks and move away from you. Despite the SUPER gross wheezing pneumonia-sounding cough, [...]
