Can I get a high five?? (Or eat my camera? Same thing.)
It’s barely 10am, I had nowhere to be that required me to be up early, but I’ve already run 6 miles (I tweeted that I ran 5, but I realized that I messed up my Garmin again, so it’s 6!) and lifted. Yesterday, I was just not feeling running alone today, so I tweeted to see if anyone wanted to run today, and my girl Ashley said she did. She ran over here and met me at 6:45am, and we ran to the river.
We split after a little after a mile, and I continued running downtown. I got to 2.5, and I just couldn’t stomach turning around and running the same 2.5 miles again, so I just kept running down until I got to my old ‘hood and went to the Equinox down there to lift before hopping on the subway. I’m getting a little sick of running the same route over and over again–I really need to start mixing things up.
I had a serious craving for a spinach feta wrap, so I stopped at Starbucks on my way home for a wrap and iced coffee. And yes, with one fell swoop of a Sharpie, I became a dude. (That cup says Theadore. Serious fail.)
Speaking of dudes, this little one was still sleeping when I got home. He’s not training for a marathon.
But I am! I know it’s super-early in the training season, but this was a workout that made me feel really strong and excited for the marathon. If I keep strong and injury-free like this, I think 4:30 is possible.
No idea why I chose Frank Sinatra lyrics to name my last post on this…
As I mentioned in my last post, I've really been going through it with headaches.…
(tw for diet culture talk—mostly how it's BS, but how it's affected me, too) This…
I have been thinking about this post for a while—on why diet culture is unhealthy…
I woke up this morning already feeling anxious. (Yay!) My standard iPhone alarm is set…
I read The Midnight Library over the weekend, and I need to talk about it.…

Yay! 4:30 is totally possible. High 5, Theadore! You rock.
@Ali: You know, I was going to tell you I missed you commenting on my blog :) So thanks for the comment!
Nicely done!!
High five is right!! And I kind of want to snuggle with Bailey right now, he looks so comfy...
@Gabriela @ Une Vie Saine: Then hurry up and get back to NYC, missy. :)
Come home to the country for awhile, we don't run but
we sit on the patio and drink Mint Julips and go shopping,
Love you
Mom
@Carol Blanchfield: Can't I do it all? :)
You sure have gotten a lot accompished by 10am! I love how it feels to be DONE with a workout so early :)
Great run :)
You totally deserve a high-5! Great way to start a day! Agreed on the boring routes. I'm about to start training for NYC and I'm sick of my run routes... not much to choose from in Staten Island either. booo
Giving you a high five! Love your blog! (Found it through Anne P's blog). Keep up the good work! :)
Why is Bailey so cute!?! I love him!
Also, good for you! Even on days I have nothing to do I hem and haw about getting out of the house to workout. I don't know why. I LOVE to run, but apparently I love mindless internet surfing and lifetime movies more! It's getting easier now that it's not cold out!
@Michelle: Oh man, ME TOO. I think that's another reason I'm so proud of myself for yesterday morning's workout--I had nowhere to be yet I still got out of bed early and worked out!
Oh, Starbucks. Do you watch NY1? Pat Kiernan has a section on his blog of Starbucks "alter egos".
Daisy --> Jay-Z. Ian --> Eaom
I kind of wish I drank coffee just for the funny cup names. Kind of like I want an iPhone for the hilarious autocorrect action. I do enjoy the spelling humor :)
@Alison @ The Peacock Diaries: omg! I need to look at that Starbucks alter egos blog. I actually have a "secret" Tumblr: starbucksgotmynamewrong.tumblr.com...perhaps I should let him know about it ;)
Dude you are going to rock NYC! 4:30 is so possible and doable.
I hope so!
