What can I do with aaaaaaall my free time? Well, if I volunteer it, it’s gotta to be running related, right? Last week I found myself, along with 30 peeps from my team manning the water tables on the east side for the Corporate Challenge.  If you haven’t heard of this…

After a couple of days pics of my tutu started appearing everywhere… but that’s not the craziest part: I was on the news… in the Norwegian news!!!! If curious, you can see the watch the clip here. You can see Deena, Mary, Jack, and… me! The whole clip is just over…

The Naked Tour was going to be stopping in NYC for their tour this weekend, but I was fully booked. Still, because apparently I can’t say no to running related things, I moved stuff around and made it happen.There was going to be a run + beers on Friday and I was dying to…

Still trying to get over this exciting (slash exhausting) week. This race was UBER FABULOUS!!!! My sister had made me tutu, a while ago. And I had decided I’d wear it at the Mini… The Mini10K is nothing mini, it’s a humongous 10K, with a 40 year history and an amazing legacy. My…

Phil McCarthy is a local and ultra running celebrity. But now he’s HUGE. The “now” is relative, I am behind on my posts!!! I don’t know much about the ultra world so I only met… Do you know Phil?

It was 94 degrees on Wednesday in NYC. All you could hear in the news was “stay indoors”, “weather alert”, “don’t go out to exercise”, “find refuge from the heat”, “seek shade”, “air alert”, and people freaking out and running for their lives…What did I do? a 5K of course!!!! Someone told me on…

NYRR’s Young Professionals Committee was organizing a fundraising fun run + happy hour for National Running Day. After all the planning was done, all I had to do on T day was help out at the run: I was the 3 lap sweeper!!!  Last wednesday was 90 degrees… I had already…

There were many that were great, so they picked three winners!!!! Here’s the winning lot! Bah, Runbug – zombie kid Your pace or mine? ❤ – Eliz83  … And the THREE Bondibands go to…

While running towards the park yesterday morning, I was thinking how annoying it is that there are a million running events in the city today for Running Day but they are all at 6:30 or 7 pm. All at the same #$%^ time.I committed to volunteer (as a run-sweeper) at the…

Since I’ve been recovering from ITBS for the last 2 (or 4) weeks, I’ve been massaging, PTing and stretching the crap out my legs. I was feeling great in a just a couple of days so I’ve been running a bit, not more than 4 miles and slow but it’s…

My unconditional love (obsession) for this park is no mistery to anyone at this point. In my eyes, Central Park is the most amazing place in the world. There are a million places to run there: loops, laps, a little track, a meadow, a ramble, hills, arches, drives, transverses, whatever. But my…

I feel like I have lost my way. During the first half of this year I’ve dabbled in EVERYTHING.  Literally, everything. I have done road races and trail races.  I have raced everything from the 5k, to 10Ks, to halfs, a marathon, a very technical trail ultra, and up the most iconic…
