It was a great day for a run. And it was awesome. Yesterday morning, I lined up with 40,000 of my closest running friends at the start of the Broad Street Run. It’s hard to believe that race day has come and gone. I feel like I’ve been anticipating it for so long. The [...]
I am beyond excited to have Michele from NYC Running Mama here on the blog today. She’s a mom to two of the cutest little boys, ultrarunner, and run coach who is currently training for the Ironman Lake Placid. I remember when I first met Michele last year at the MORE/Fitness Magazine Half Marathon expo. [...]

We returned home to Brooklyn on Saturday – nice to have a one day buffer between getting home and the rush rush rush of going back to school and work. We spent Sunday grocery shopping, cooking and prepping food for the week while the boys got reacquainted with their toys – a very important task. [...]
