Running is so much cheaper than therapy.

I’ve had some stuff on my mind lately, and so I’ve been feeling a little stressed out. The fact that I haven’t been able to get a proper workout in lately hasn’t been helping. With my next race looming, I needed to get a decent run in, so I came home from work and laced up a pair of sneaks that the fine K-Swiss folks sent me. (Speaking of K-Swiss, I’ll have a K-Swiss giveaway soon!)

I ran to the Brooklyn Bridge, across it and back. My Garmin never found a satellite, so I thought I was running 5 miles, but it was closer to 4. That’s fine because it was a GREAT run. Finally. My breathing was a little rough at the beginning, but my lungs opened up by the end. As usual, I’m in a much better mood than I was before the run.

When I came home, I made a stir-fry with some kale, broccoli, red pepper and chicken sausage. I ate with brown rice.

And now I’m snuggling with this little dude.

A late lunch post:

 

Okay. Let’s play a little game. Not all three of those pictures represent my lunch! The three pictures are what my coworker Jessie and I had for lunch. How well do you know me? Which is mine and which is Jessie’s?

Marathon Sunday

…is carb-loading with bagels…for spectating.

…is watching the elites run by.

And

your

friends.


It’s for cheering with your friends.

And smiling with them.

It’s for random thrift stores with punny names.

It’s for pumpkin ravioli. (YUM!)

Post-marathon celebrations with friends. (YES! That’s my training buddy Ashley, whom I’m so proud of.)

And Tumblr potlucks, with some of your favorites.

It also involves choosing your next race. More on that later.
