Last night was the super moon. To be perfectly honest, it didn’t appear any larger to me than it has on previous occasions. But, it was very very bright. We were on the roof when it rose, and it was a very dark shade of yellow from all of the pollution. It was kind of … Continue reading Skateboarding and Super Moon→
I hate to get too video heavy on here. I am one of those people who generally won’t even watch a video until I see it show up in at least 2 or 3 places. But there are certain subjects that get me hooked from the title. Longboarding+Madrid=can’t really go wrong. This thing is beautifully … Continue reading Longboarding season is all upons→
I dreamed about snowboarding all night, then woke up to 4 inches of snow on the ground and this video in multiple spots on my reader feed. Sometimes life is so cruel. Happy Presidents Day.
It didn’t exactly go as planned. But, whatev. I was so stressed about this race that I had bad dreams all night, the night before, about not being able to find the starting line, about Reagan making secret breakfast plans that made me miss the starting gun, etc.. I’m not sure why I was so … Continue reading About the race…→
In contrast to the past few weeks, this one has seemed to drag on FOREVER. But it will soon be a happy memory, being that today is Friday. It actually feels like I got the weekend started last night, since I covered two events that were both pretty fun. My favorite of the two, was … Continue reading Friday, is it really you?→
I know it was only 3 miles, but it was really hot and I had to fight traffic HARD at the beginning, since it was a free for all (no pace chutes). 6’24” pace is 5 seconds per mile, better than my previously recorded official NYRR time. Progress feels good. 3 girls still finished ahead … Continue reading New Personal Best→
(Above: 2009 Mini 10k, photo by: me) The only official item that we have calendared for this weekend is a race that Reagan is running. It is the NYRR Mini 10K. It is a Women’s-only race that dates back to the 70’s– and “mini” refers to the miniskirts that were popular during the era. The … Continue reading Weekend, glorious weekend→
Yesterday, Reagan posted about our snowshoeing adventures, that we had during our jaunt to UT. It reminded me that we had a few minutes of some random video footage from that day, that I hadn’t even uploaded yet. So, if you like shaky camerawork and cute girls frolicking in the snow, then you may enjoy … Continue reading Snowshoe vid→
Saturday was the first race of 2010 for me. It was a good one to start out the year with, since the weather was beautiful and it was for a good cause (run for Haiti). It was also pretty cool, because it was the first race that our new team “New York Running Club” was … Continue reading First race of 2010 plus friends visiting→
I have been so freaking bad at running, lately. I haven’t done any running in almost a month. True, Piper has been sick, and I have been sick. But, even when I didn’t have an excuse, I have been extremely bad at keeping with a routine, for this entire winter. Hopefully that will all change, … Continue reading If this doesn’t motivate me, nothing will→
