New Plan

QUICK POINTS: New altered eating plan/fitness plan.  Spring schedule 1.New diet and fines plan.  I have realized that eating is an important part of any fitness (a huge part) plan.

#UnitedNYCHALF Completed!!!

Like many people (well over 20, 000), I ran the NYC half and had a wonderful time!!!! I am so glad that I was able to participate in this race. A few years ago, I qualified for it (through the outer borough series) but I had to drop out because of a herniated disc in...

Ack! It’s finally here.

A quick entry. The day that I have been waiting for since I received notice from NYRR saying that it would be taking money out of my checking account for lottery entry into the NYC Half Marathon.

NYC Half Marathon Training Run (28/45)

Interrupto cursu I have tried not to bitch too much about people on this writing medium.  I decided to "work from home" on Tuesday, which is code for doing laundry and other errands. Since I live in a small apt building, we have a sign up sheet for the laundry room. Monday night, I signed...

35 min; 132 ave bpm; 3,012 steps; 401 calories.  This past week I have been soooo freaking tired because of working late and traveling. It has been so bad that I was unable to fit in a run this week. However, I guess that I am in the tapering stage for the NYC Half, which...
