I Love Runners

For seven years in D.C., I never felt like I was part of a community.

I had lots of friends, but all from different groups, and I wasn’t part of something that united me with people with common interests.

A key part to my happiness in New York is being part of multiple communities where I feel comfortable and accepted and have things in common with people.

Running. Blogging. Junior League.

After my run yesterday, I met up with Laura for a drink (or three?) before heading over to Leticia’s to hang out with a big group of runners and drink sangria and eat guac.

Go to Agave. They have the best margaritas ever.

After staying up chatting until 2am with my friends, I had a hard time rallying this morning to meet up with a group of friends for a run this morning. We were meeting by the Apple store on 5th Ave and running to Queens for brunch. Thanks to Kristin for organizing!

I ran with Ashley the entire time and we chatted and caught up.

We ran to Queens Comfort for a fun brunch. Best part about this place? It’s BYOB!

I had the Egg McRuffin: bechamel, smoked bacon, cheddar and fontina on an English muffin with TATER TOTS.

It was such a fun low-key weekend, and I’m really grateful for such an awesome running community in New York.

What sort of communities are you involved in?

VLOG: Winter Running and New Balance Windblocker and Flipbelt Reviews

This morning, it was really freaking cold. I did not want to run, so I tried to read the entire Internet.

I didn’t quite get there, but I did stumble upon some awesome videos from BexLife on YouTube and decided to make a video myself once I finally came home from my run this afternoon.

Super-sexy screengrab.

Here’s a link to a post I wrote a few years ago about winter running, and below are the links to the products I mentioned:

Windblocker Tights

Windblocker Jacket

Flipbelt

Do you run outside in the cold, or do you stick to the treadmill? I’m about half and half; I’ll do short runs on the treadmill in the winter, but my long runs must must must be outside, as I go nuts after more than 45-50 minutes on a treadmill.
