Fueled by Endorphins

I’ll be the first to admit that I’m a little bit of a hypochondriac.  With bronchitis, the flu and god only knows what else floating around my office, I was close to certain that my WebMD analysis would have been accurate, landing me with bronchitis.  I was also certain that seeking out the actual diagnosis would land…

It’s tough to celebrate Valentine’s Day during the week, but I’m looking forward to hanging out with my Valentine tonight (while trying not to get him sick at the same time) 🙂 Even though we don’t have any grand plans for tonight, I’m still trying to come…

This training cycle seems to be pulling out all the stops to keep me in the sporadic runner category.  I’m not giving up yet, but considering that I sound like a pack-a-day anti-smoking campaign spokesperson when I speak, and I can’t breath when I’m sitting still let alone walking, it’s safe to say I’ve tabled…

I hope everyone had a fabulous weekend!   I recently mentioned that I revamped my marathon training plan, but am still tweaking some of the details, so I haven’t uploaded it yet.  The biggest change though is that I am now running long runs on Saturday and using Sunday as my rest day.  Saturday called…

I have to be honest… this week has been a little bit SPORADIC in terms of training…work has been insane, and this little encounter with Chemistry took a turn for the worst (as in the academic advisor advised my to sign up for the wrong class, and the class I had signed up for doesn’t…

Happy Super Bowl Sunday!   I hope everyone has had/is having a great weekend! I’m in the midst of an endorphins overload/post- power yoga-“life is awesome” mindset.  I’m trying to reel it in before I head to Hoboken for Super Bowl festivities so that I don’t lose friends in the process. Today started off with…

When it comes to food, I think that everything is good in moderation and variety is the spice of life (in theory) (and, did I seriously just say two cliche statements in one sentence?) Since I have been training, I have been paying more attention to how different foods help and hurt my training.  For…

Yikes… Where did the past week go!?  I have so much to catch up on and don’t know where to begin… To keep it running related, how about we start with some #MilesOfShame.  A little over a week ago I mentioned a running challenge that I LOVED!  PavementRunner and NYCRunningMama hosted a running challenge for…

Tomorrow is my 25th birthday, and for the first time ever, I’m more excited about turning the age that I’m turning than actually celebrating my birthday.  Don’t get me wrong, the celebrating has been and will be fun (if I’m being completely honest, I’ve been a bit of an accidental birthday diva this year), but…

Guess where I heard the quote “Inspire to be Inspired”? Soul Cycle, of course! Am I becoming a broken record about how much I love it there?   My training plan called for an easy 3 miles, which in theory was amazing after yesterday’s long run.  Unfortunately, this is what mother nature had in store…
