Continue reading →: You can always stuff more things in your bra
WHAT? or WHY? You wonder … well some of my cute running shorts don’t have pockets. I used to sew extra pockets on my shorts, on earlier times, when I actually had time. Or needed to. Now I just stuff everything on my bra: gels, water bottles, of course the…

Earlier this week I wrote about how my long runs were going great and how monster month was making me lose a lot of weight. Well, the two combined just made a number on this weekend’s 16 miler. I had lots 5 pounds since last weekend, and I was down…

The Prospect Park Track Club sets up these 5ks all through the summer, on Wednesday nights. I did one last year and it had since been my 5K PR. I was in good shape then (though it was 97 degrees that day), I had run my fastest marathon in three…

Last week I was trying on a cute skirt at a store, I poked my head out and ask the girl there Do these come in anything smaller than a zero? There was a long line of women waiting for the fitting rooms. They ALL turned around and stared at me.…

Continue reading →: Some adaptation all right
My long run this weekend was strange. This “strange” has been a constant in every long run I’ve done in this marathon training period though. They’ve been fine. I was able to run a long run and be ok at the end. And I didn’t use to run my long runs: they used to be…

Continue reading →: asking the experts (you) about a workout
I’ve been pondering this for a few days and I wanted to see what the thoughts were. Let’s say you have to do a tempo, 5 miles at 7:20 for example. Let’s also suppose that Sunday I did a long run, Monday I rested. option 1- I could…

Continue reading →: My new favorite recovery drink (think nutella…)
I’ve tried it all. And I usually stuck to solids post workouts, nothing out of the ordinary, a banana, or toast with PB and nutella or dulce the leche, or oatmeal with chocolate and PB, or powebars or the occasional chocolate protein powder. Or whatever I had in the apartment, which…

I have been such a busy mess that I have every RW magazine in a pile since December. I haven’t finished one book since last year, not even during trips to Argentina and Hawaii. Three months ago, I gave up on touring them around. I guess if I can sit…

I got a call from my super shady cardiologist who never wants anyone to know his name. Would you blame him? I talk about him all the time, but he’s the manwhowillnotbenamed. Ha. I did my stress echo, forgot all about it. He called me to tell me the results. …

Continue reading →: For nuun lovers, did you know about nuun ALL DAY?
Again, I was walking out of Outdoor Retailer, and besides a crazy stop to drool at a back pack, I only stopped twice. Those two times were to tell those people how much I loved their products. We runners are just loyal (OCD!!!) like that with our gear and stuff.…

At outdoor retailer last week, I was going out, and I would look at the booths and go “I don’t need that”, “I have that”, “I’d never carry that”, and then, for once, something stopped me on me feet, like glucose deficiency at mile 22. Eeeeeeeek. I spotted a backpack…
