I’m Running a Marathon Tomorrow
So yeah, I’m running a marathon tomorrow. In the rain. But running in the rain is nothing new here. If you follow me on twitter, the last few days have been filled of tweets regarding the state of Vermont’s weather, but alas, I cannot control it, so I just need to ignore it and try to be prepared as I can be. This may have involved purchasing a rain and wind proof running jacket at the expo today. Anyway, it rained our entire drive to Vermont, and even on the ferry. Typical ferry weather. It was my first time ever taking a ferry by car, so it was kind of…

2013 Workforce Team Challenge
Thursday night was a perfect night for a race! A few co-workers and I walked to the Empire State Plaza for my FOURTH Workforce Challenge 3.5 mile race! There was a slight breeze, and I think it was around 80 degrees. We hung around the museum steps for about an hour just chatting. {me and my co-worker, Grace. HEY GRACE!} Finally, with about 20 minutes to go, we walked down to the starting line. I decided in the beginning that I was going to take my time. Its impossible to start out this race fast–there is just too many people. The course is very similar to the Freihofer’s Run, with…

Weekend Happenings
Friday night: Friday was pretty low key! I made some home made pizza for Chris and myself, complete with some cheese from the Cheese Traveler. It was DELICIOUS and one of the best pizzas I’ve made so far! The only thing I wasn’t a fan of was the fake sausage–the lightlife brand. It didn’t even taste like sausage–just like fake meat product. At least it added a bit of a protein, but the rest of the pizza was really good. The cheese we used was mostly mozzarella but also some slices of Havarti from Demark. Chris went to the Cheese Traveler to pick up some. It was pretty fantastic on…

HMRRC Winter Series #4 – 15K
Another winter series race in the books! Today was #4 of this season. I had no goals for this race since I felt pretty crappy during most of my runs this week but wanted to treat this race as a long run to get the miles in. The weather was okay…40 degrees but 20 mph winds! Thankfully they didn’t feel too bad! It did sprinkle at the start a bit but after the first mile I warmed up! I felt really great during the race and managed to hold a 9:45/mile pace for the whole time…and no walking! What is it with these winter series races?? Race stats Total miles:…

Escaping the Cold
It’s been a while since I last posted! Well, I’m officially on vacation! Saturday morning I flew with my sister and grandma to Florida to visit my parents (they just came down for the winter a week ago). Saturday after arriving in Orlando, my dad drove us to my uncle’s in Okeechobee to drop off my grandma, where she stays for a few months to escape the cold weather in NY. On the way back to my parents’ place we stopped to eat at Mulligans, one of their favorite river-side restaurants. I ordered the fish tacos, of course. Its nice to be back here! Sunday morning I decided it was…
