The Dunkin’ Run 10K
Well, I have another 10K under my belt! 🙂 Today I ran the Dunkin’ Run 10K in Albany! Admittedly, I was a little nervous about running a race today, as I’ve been traveling…but I felt really great when I woke up this morning. I started my day with my standard pre-race breakfast! Bagel thin + maple pb + banana. I actually wasn’t feeling the banana this morning so I took some of it off. I think it was a bit too ripe. I also had a cup of green tea, which I think really helps. Maybe its the caffeine? I also made sure to drink lots of water yesterday, so…

Chingachgook Challenge 10K
Phew, I’m finally home to blog about my awesome Saturday! Chris and I ran the Chingachgook Challenge 10K in Lake George today, and it was really awesome. But I’ll get to the race re-cap in a minute. Let me rewind to Friday night. Chris and I were in the mood for pizza last night, so we headed over to Inferno Pizza in Colonie. One of the reasons we wanted to go there is because they have outdoor dining and it was a perfect summer evening. Great for outside eating! 😉 We each ordered a drink, I got a glass of Relax Riesling. Drinking wine was probably not the best idea…

2010 Boilermaker 15K
Wow, I’m finally home, showered, and extremely exhausted! But I feel amazing. 🙂 Today I accomplished one of the greatest things in my life…running in and completing my first 15K road race! The Utica Boilermaker! As of today, 9.3 (9.5?) miles is officially the furthest distance I’ve run at one time. And I’m so proud of myself and how far I’ve come. Less than two years ago I was overweight and out of shape and never would have in a million years thought I would be running in a 9.3 mile race. This just goes to show that you can do anything, if you put your mind to it. I’m…

Fourth of July 2010 – Part 2: Firecracker 4
After Saturday’s pig roast, Sunday Chris and I were all set to run in the Firecracker 4, a four mile race in Saratoga Springs. So far, this race has been my longest! I ran the Workforce Team Challenge back in May, which was 3.5 miles. I was thinking that four miles would be a breeze. 🙂 After picking up our packets and bringing them back to the car, we headed to where the start line was, right on one of the main roads in Saratoga. There were so many people running this race! I thought it was kind of funny that there were even mascots running this race! It was…

Run for Pride 5K
Good morning! This morning I got up bright an early to head into Washington Park to register for the Run for Pride 5k! It is pride week in the Capital Region, and they have a 5K that Chris and I decided to run together. It was our first race that we’ve run together so far! But before I get into that, lets rewind to breakfast. I got up at around 7:30 and had a bagel thin with some Justin’s Almond Butter. It came from one of those cute portable squeeze packs! I also topped one side with half a banana and some blueberry jam. I think this may be my…
