This recap begins months ago, when I entered my name in the lottery for the 2019 New York City Marathon. I don’t remember specifically doing it, because it’s the third time I’ve thrown my name in this hat, and I assumed it would be the third time I’d be rejected. In the interim, I signed … More 2019 New York City Marathon

As I was rolling out my hamstring the other day with a lacrosse ball (that I’ve had since 9th grade), I realized that was a simple, cheap piece of gear that is ESSENTIAL to my running arsenal. I feel like it’s my secret weapon to staying healthy and keeping “niggles” from becoming full-blown injuries. (Note: … More My Favorite Running Gear
It took me a whole week to come and write this. Maybe it was because I haven’t written in a while and it felt clunky. Maybe it was because I was a little disappointed with the outcome of this race. But here it is, the good, the bad, and the ugly. Via Marathon Training As … More Via Marathon Race Recap
If I could use one word to describe my taper week pre-race it would be this: ANXIETY. And that general anxiety had me questioning if my goals for this race would pan out. My nutrition had changed in the weeks leading up to the race, I wasn’t sleeping well, I didn’t stick to my run … More Love Run Half Marathon Race Recap
I feel like all my races lately have been on the trails – in preparation for the Dirty German 50K of course! Uberendurancesports puts on a ton of great trail races in the PA area and the Naked Bavarian (part of the “Naked” Series of winter low-swag races) did not disappoint. So far, I’ve loved … More Naked Bavarian 20M Race Recap
A couple of months ago, my twin sister signed up for the Surf City Half Marathon in Huntington Beach, CA. As a running coach, she reached out to me to put together a training plan for her. She then proceeded to convince me to run it with her. (Trust me, it’s not hard to convince … More Surf City Half Marathon Race Recap
As a runner, you hear a lot of “rules” for running. The best time of day to run, how many miles to put on your shoes, what you can or can’t eat before a long run, and the lovely “10% rule”. The 10% rule says that you should only add 10% to your mileage every … More All About Building Mileage
After years and years of experimenting with (and perfecting!) my Irish beef stew recipe, I’ve found I have taken ZERO pictures of it. Which is probably why I’ve put off posting the recipe– because food photos are super important for a food blog, right? Well, I’ve recently admitted that photography is not my strong suit. … More Irish Beef Stew Recipe
I’ve been doing Whole30 for the month of January and feeling great! Since 99% of my meals are cooked at home when doing Whole30, I have to step outside of the box more than usual and really mix up my variety of recipes. I remembered the asian turkey meatball recipe I’ve made before, but I’ve … More Asian Turkey Meatball Stir Fry (Whole30 / Paleo)
