This week has been shaping up to be really busy, but with all fun things. Yesterday, I was having major stomach issues. I was in too much pain to do my scheduled speed workout, so instead I did an easy 30 minutes on the stationary bike. After work I met my friend Kate for a [...]

This is the first week I’ve started to feel the challenge of the holidays: meaning maintaining a healthy diet through several weeks of festivities. The main events in the last week have included: my office holiday party, a weekend visiting my friend, a latke dinner (latkes have to be one of the most delicious yet [...] I still can’t get over how fast the seasons have changed. It seems like yesterday I was waking up at the crack of dawn on my long runs to avoid 100* temps, and I was dressed in a tank top in shorts. Yesterday on my run I wore a jacket for the first time! But [...] Today some rain hit the DC area and it looks like it is finally cooling down. Saturday night, however, I enjoyed the summer weather. First step: breaking out a sundress and flip flops. Second step: House party with corn hole. I haven’t played corn hole since college but Neil and I dominated and [...] Now that I finished with my 18 miler, I only have to increase my mileage on my long run ONCE more! It’s crazy that the race is coming up so quickly. Last night Neil and I ordered some pizza for my carby pre-run meal, and my brother and his fiancé came over to watch HBO [...] This weekend had the potential to be very boring. I was fasting from Friday sunset to Saturday sunset for Yom Kippur. Marathon training already messes up my social life quite a bit, but with the holiday this meant two nights of not doing anything. However, after fasting all day Saturday I decided I wanted to [...] I have a lot I want to talk about today – including a new vegan restaurant I discovered. But first, a quick review of how I did on my August goals. For short runs, maintain an 8:30 min/mile pace. I did try to run my short runs faster, and sometimes hit this pace. Strength training [...] After a long day of traveling and work, I was exhausted Friday evening. But Neil and I had restaurant week reservations at Zaytinya and a party to go to, so out we went. Restaurant Week in DC is a week-long event, where restaurants offer a three course meal for $35.10. My favorite restaurant in [...] Saturday Play: Yoga The last 24 hours have been awesome. I think the best part of the Healthy Living Summit was meeting so many inspiring bloggers. All the girls I met were nice, interesting and passionate about healthy living. Core Yoga (sponsored by Subway) last night was fun We all got free yoga mats! [...] Not those kind of before and after pictures. Psshh. Before: After: I got to try Freshii for dinner post-haircut, a restaurant a lot of local bloggers have written about. The service was slow because they were understaffed, but then I got a free froyo for waiting! I love free stuff. My dinner [...] |
