After the Midnight run and fireworks, we got home on New Years Eve at 2 am. I can’t even remember the last time I was up that late!!! It felt like it was 6 am (getting old over here!) and we were woken up by the sunniest possible day. Cold. It…

Continue reading →: Happy New Year! (Midnight Run Pictures)
Last year, we started the year doing the NYRR Midnight Run, which was sooo much fun! This year we decided to skip the run because the gear logistics seemed too complicated for us to figure out. Either we overdress so we don’t freeze before and after (which we did last…

Continue reading →: Happy Holidays Run through New York City
This morning we got up extra early. It was dark. Yuk. But, if you want to see the holiday decorations unencumbered by millions of people that’s the way the way to do it. Central Park and Fifth Avenue were so quiet at 6:30 am. Which is really never the case…

Continue reading →: ugh NYC and this weather
WTF? I am back in NYC and I was dragging and dreading it. I told Juan a few times to pack a bag and come to Argentina. Last winter, though fun and with great company, sucked the fun out of 6 months! I am dreading this winter so much already…

Sunday’s race was easy-peasy. When does a race feel like that? I have been running very little and quite slow since the marathon so I think I was ready to bust out a bit. I’ve been doing about 15 to 20 miles for the last 2-3 weeks since the marathon.…

Last year, If I don’t remember wrong, a few hardcore Rocky fans set out to run the same streets Rocky run in the movie, which ended up being like a lot of miles for the average Rocky fan (like over 30 miles, I should really check!). Or was that the…

My super official NYC Marathon finish time is 3:48:18: So strange that, for ONCE, no one hit it!!!! No one even guessed 3:48:anything! Ha, maybe because I had guessed I’d be around 3:42 or 3:45? Oh, ooops for that! The closest were a 3:47 and a 3:49… I did the math…
