Summer in the City – Day 2: Kiss-In, Lush & Whole Foods Lunch
Missed Day One? Part 1 Summer in the City – Day 1: Pancakes, Wine & Cupcakes Part 2 Summer in the City – Day 1: Drinks at Macondo and the Spinto Band —– Onto Saturday morning in the city! The weather was gorgeous. I was so happy, because every time I’ve ever been to the city, it was either raining, or snowing, in the dead of winter. This was my first time visiting in the summer! 🙂 How perfect. Leaving times square, Chris & I noticed a commotion going on. It was the Times Square Kiss-In! There was a 26-foot statue replica of the famous photograph: (Source) It was so…

Summer in the City – Day 1: Drinks at Macondo and the Spinto Band
Missed Part One of my NYC recap? Summer in the City – Day 1: Pancakes, Wine & Cupcakes —– After gallivanting around midtown in the city, it was time for us to head down by Subway to the East Village to meet up with one of Chris’ friends. She took us to a tiki bar called Macondo! It was cool–kind of like an oasis in the big city. 🙂 We started out with a carafe of Guava and Whiskey, which was a bit too strong for me, but it was pretty tasty at first. The mixed drink was followed by a carafe of red sangria. Never any problems here. 🙂…

Summer in the City – Day 1: Pancakes, Wine & Cupcakes
Greetings from Penn Station! Chris and I are now waiting for our train back to Albany. We had a great time in the city this weekend. We got into the city at around 10:30 on Friday morning. We dragged our luggage 10+ blocks from Penn Station to our hotel, which was right outside of Times Square (near Hell’s Kitchen/Theater District). We stayed at the EconoLodge! The hotel was TINY! But that’s okay, since it wasn’t too expensive (for a hotel in the city), and we really just needed a place to sleep. The rooms were even smaller than I thought they’d be. Yeah, teeny tiny. After we dropped out stuff…

How to Handle Vacation Eating
Happy Friday everyone! Abbi over at Higher Miles posted a couple questions for those of us who joined the Distance Dreamers feature on her blog. Here are my responses What is your best running memory/experience? One of my best running experience is completing the Boilermaker 15K in July 2010. As of today, this race was the longest distance I’ve ever ran in my life (9.5 miles). I never in a million years thought I’d be running a 15K. It was a challenging race, but I finished, running the entire thing (only stopping for a few seconds to walk through some water stations near the end). I set a goal for…
