You guys, the world is laughing at me.
Yesterday, I wrote about having to get my act (mostly my diet) in gear.
Today, friends sent me these articles:
1. Loosen Your Belt for Turned Up Tex-Mex At Gramcery’s Javelina
2. Opening Alert: San Antonio Chef Jesse Perez Starts Rolling Burritos at Oxido
TWO NEW MEXICAN SPOTS IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD, GUYS. (And yes, all my ads are for digital marketing/social media/fitness/Lilly Pulitzer. That is all.)
Life is telling me it just wants me to eat tacos and be happy. WHO AM I TO ARGUE?
AND I CAN’T EVEN GO CONSOLE MYSELF WITH TACOS.
Maybe one day I’ll run a different marathon, but my hometown marathon still means so much to me, and I’m going to go the charity route this year. Running has given so much back to me; I’m going to use running to give back to the community. I have a charity in mind (and backups!), I’m just waiting for confirmation.
OKAY. WHO DID GET IN? AND WHO ELSE WASTED TOO MUCH TIME REFRESHING TODAY, ONLY TO BE LET DOWN?b

I didn't get in either (what a surprise...) I'm planning on running with Team in Training!
The world is laughing at me too girl. There's way too much good food out there!
I'm super pumped to be IN (and also hoping two marathons in one year isn't the death of me). Let me know when the charity route gets lined up, I'll definitely donate! :)
Hey there is still room in the healthy eating for Mexican! It's about moderation and enjoying on the weekends. :) I also didn't get in and right now I'm taking that as a sign that I need to just focus on other things. If an opportunity arises, awesome, but for now it's all about the half/halves!
Killer!!! I'll try not to insta too many margs and tacos once I get to mexico this weekend (that's a lie…but I have committed to not only my usual morning run, but also a midday walk on the beach each day).
As for NY…I didn't register, I just didn't get into the Grandma's Half marathon lottery so now I need to decide if my body can do 26.2 for the second time. My knee is irritated now, still recovering from Disney, but I can't imagine not racing in the half or full as I've done the Grandma's race weekend the last 4 years. If I did this 26.2 and it went well I would probably register for the lottery for next year.
I feel your pain! I ran NYCM both times with charity and I think it is a great experience, you are out there for more than yourself. It makes the marathon a whole different experience. This is my year of no marathon and so far I have stuck to my guns! I need a break from 26.2.
@Gianna @ Run, Lift, Repeat: Last year was my year of no marathon...but I signed up for the NYC lottery anyway because I couldn't help myself. But didn't get in, which was a blessing.
Didn't get in either. I know it is for the best because of my nagging injury, but it still kinda sucks. I'm doing 9+1 this year. Charity is a great way to do it, that's how I ran NYCM last year and it is definitely more rewarding and meaningful when you cross that finish line.
Yeah, I really should just do 9+1 every year.
Come on! You know tacos can be "healthy"-ish. :)
I didnt apply this year, but I was rejected the last 2 years :(
I knew even if I did get it, I wouldn't be able to afford the trip this year, so I held off on the lottery. I'm hopeful one year soon I'll be able to go! I'll try the lottery route, but if that doesn't work out, I'll probably go with a travel partner since the charity isn't so great for International runners. One day!!
