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…

Note: there is nothing in Cortland but windy roads, rolling hills, and farmland. Enough said. But, it was a…

Long runs, beaches, and chocolate zucchini cupcakes
Things I like to do on my day off: lay on the beach, go for an 8 mile run, and bake chocolate zucchini cupcakes. Not in that order. 😀 This morning I woke up and knew I had to do my long run today, because there was no way I was running that much on the Fourth of July. I have too many plans and a four mile race that morning! I fueled with some peanut butter toast and honey, with some chia seeds sprinkled on top, and a cup of green tea. And I was ready to go. Miles 1 – 4 on treadmill in 44:45. Felt great. Mile…
