Ice Cream Sandwich Throwdown
Saturday (after running 14 miles) I had the pleasure to judge The Ice Cream Sandwich Throwdown – Saratoga vs. Albany. Daniel B & the Saratoga Idiots had put together this amazing tour of ice cream sandwiches in the Capital Region, and we had to find out who had the best– Saratoga or Albany. I, of course, was Team Albany! Chris tagged along to be a provisional judge, also so I had someone to split the ice cream sandwiches with. I did burn a lot of calories previously, but four ice cream sandwiches is a bit much! We first made our way to Comfort Kitchen in Saratoga, whose ice cream sandwich…

2012 Shamrock Run
Yesterday was the 2012 Shamrock Run in Kingston! After having fun at this race last year, Heather and I decided we would run it again! This time, a few others joined us! Heather, Emily, Alicia, my sister and I joined us and we drove down to Kingston for the festivities. I even ran into my friend Krista! You might remember that she ran the Diva Half Marathon with me back in October. There were over 6,000 people running the Shamrock Run. It was way more crowded than I remember from last year. We waited for a half hour just to get our bibs and shirts, and that was a little…

The Tour de Egg & Cheese Sandwich
Saturday Chris and I got up bright and early to meet Daniel B and the rest of the “tourists” at Jack’s Diner, the first stop on the Tour de Egg and Cheese Sandwich! Chris didn’t eat any sandwiches but he just came along for moral support. Last April, Heather & I took part in one of Daniel’s famous tours, the Tour de Soft Serve, and it was amazing…so I knew I couldn’t pass up the Tour de Egg and Cheese Sandwich! (Check out Daniel’s post to see the real winner!) Did you know that egg and cheese on a hardroll is something unique to this region? I did not–living here…

HMRRC Winter Series #4 – 3M
It was a chilly 10 degrees when the Winter Series #4 started this morning. I had been planning on running it all week, but hadn’t made up my mind until the last minute to run the 3 mile race instead of the 15K. I’m glad I did because I felt slow, cold and tired the whole 3 miles and just wanted to get it done with. It probably didn’t help that I didn’t drink enough water beforehand either. Bad preparation on my part. The 15K would have gone terrible. I ran the three miles in 28:08, 9:22/mile average. I was glad to have Alicia and Melissa to run with for…

Sunday Brunch
Sunday I hosted a brunch at my apartment with some lovely other bloggers: Melissa, Emily & Alicia. My sister also joined, too. It was tons of fun and we had a lot of delicious food! I made mini yogurt cups with filo dough crust that I received in my swag bag at Healthy Living Summit ages ago. I finally got around to making something with them and they came out great and they were SUPER easy to make. Mini Berries & Cream Yogurt Cups Ingredients 1 container of organic low-fat yogurt (I used Wallaby berries & cream) 12 mini filo shells fresh fruit for topping Instructions 1. Mix yogurt so…
