Hi, friends! I started my day with a fabulously sweaty workout with celebrity trainer, Harley Pasternak. Not a bad way to kick-off a Thursday, right? Harley recently partnered with New Balance to create his own sneaker, the limited edition 5 Factor 997, so he and New Balance hosted a launch event/workout this morning to celebrate [...]

Greetings from New York City! I arrived at Penn Station just before 1:00 PM, and then I hoofed it about a mile (luggage and all) to my hotel. From door-to-door, the trip was quick and painless. So, I bet you’re wondering what I’m doing in NYC for the next few days? Remember that behind-the-scenes Food [...]

Wow. What a crazy-awesome day. Never in a million years did I think I’d end up on television for a batch of healthy cookies that I baked. I love how random/unpredictable my life is sometimes. Hey, I’m just going with it! Yesterday morning, Theodora and I dressed in our holiday best, freaked out with nervous [...]

Sit back and relax. This post is going to be a long one. Mal and I eventually made it to New York City around 2:30 on Saturday afternoon. We quickly checked into our hotel room and then jumped in a cab to the marathon expo. The expo was crazy and overwhelming (as expected), so I [...]

Wahoo! Twenty miles run and done! Theodora and I rocked our 20-mile long run this morning. Surprisingly, it wasn’t all that bad either. (Who says that about 20 miles?!? Crazy people. That’s who.) Hey, nice shirt, Theodora. I woke up bright and early to prepare for this morning’s run. I ate my usual breakfast (nut [...]

Marathon training + day drinking = Clearly, those Punkin Ales went right to our heads. Theodora and I continued our day drinking with Ashley and Bo (Ashley’s husband) at Happy Hour. We planned to meet at The Ginger Man, but it was super crowded when we arrived, so we went next door to the Galway [...]

Hi, friends! Happy Sunday! I woke up to sunshine and a gorgeous view of the New York City skyline. What a way to start the day. Imagine waking up every morning to that view. After dillydallying around the apartment (and cuddling with Bailey), Theodora and I headed to breakfast at the Theatre Row Diner. The [...]

I ran 15 miles today. Yep, you read that correctly: 15 miles. I have no idea how it happened, but it did. And it was awesome. Clearly, we take marathon training very seriously. Theodora had 20 miles on her training schedule today, so she left her apartment bright and early to start her long run. [...]

My day included many of the things that make me really happy: friends, dogs, cheese, cupcakes, and beer. (Yes, three out of five of them are food.) I have no complaints about today. When I arrived in New York City this afternoon, Theodora and I ran a few errands together and then headed to The [...]

Last week when I planned my trip New York City, I told Theodora that running in Central Park in the early morning with friends followed by a bagel breakfast was what I considered a perfect morning. I’m pretty sure I referred to the experience as “a little piece of heaven.” Maybe I’m weird, but the [...]
