New York New York

Just got back from a vacation  - visiting Abbie in New York

 Where I watched him play 

Isn't this beautiful?

Then we headed to the city and took one too many bus tours

Buddhist Temple on the top- $1 store on the bottom

I heart Mad Men

From Top of the Rock

It was seriously terrifying just putting my arm out to take a picture of the city

And then we found a bar...

 

Have you ever seen an empty Times Square?

What I'm singing...

I'm a Fancy Runner

I realized during my last run that I wear more accessories running than I do when I go out

 Headband

my phone

My sweat band to wipe my sweaty face

(I got this one as a VIP pass for a 2LiveCrew concert- true story)

and my garmin

In case you are wondering that says

14 miles

Boom! My longest yet!

It was the first run since I started training where it wasn't 800 degrees outside

and I didn't feel like I was running through mud

It let me know that yes I am in shape

and the weather plays a HUGE factor in my pace/energy

Happy Birthday Jess!

May your birthday be filled with...

5 Before my 9-5

Do you know how awesome it feels to run 5 miles before work?

It feels as awesome as my face is red

Seriously - does anyone else get this red?

Here is a summary of today's thoughts on my run:

Mile 1 : Why am I doing this? I hate this! I hate running! I hate the heat!

Mile 2: This sucks. I should have stayed in bed. Marathon? Really?! So Stupid

Mile 2.5: Half way! I am halfway home!

Mile 3: I think I can I think I can. Damn it's hot!

Mile 4: 4 already? Only one more to go!

Mile 5: I'm done! That wasn't so bad....
