Running Only

the answer is… i dont think

How does one bring their 14 year old sister to a personal training session, wind up joining the personal training session, almost die, and then sign up for 30 personal training sessions? How? Yes… I did look like an unfit monster next to my svelte 100 pound sister. In other news, I swindled my stepdad into buying my NYE dress.  Actually, he offered as I do not swindle my parents for anything.  The roof over my head and food in my belly is enough.  I also accept the economy sized boxes of Fib more...

Some of New York’s Fastest Invite You for Drinks

By Michelle Rafferty, Publicity Assistant For one weekend every year, New York City becomes the capital of the running world. When marathon weekend hits, crowds gather all over the five boroughs to cheer on professionals runners, celebrities, friends, and co-workers alike. I personally recommend mile 24—it doesn’t get enough attention because it’s so close to the end, but it’s when you get to see people really fall apart, or rally up and show an incredible amount of grit. And admit it—some voye more...

In The Body: Writing and Running, Part Two

A few days ago I wrote a post about writing and running.  Since then I've been staying in Laguna Beach and running the canyon.  Okay, I run down and walk back up, but then so does nearly everyone else.  It is a looong way back up.  Yesterday as I hit the last and steepest hill I ran into a man named George who proceeded to tell me about Kangen water, which helped make the hill climb a lot easier.  (He dropped off some of the water for me to try later, and that was pretty cool, too.) Water and i more...

Spicing It Up.

No crafty post today. I was beat last night. November is very tough for me. It’s that rough month where the schedule gets busier and I am forced onto the treadmill because it’s too dark in the morning and night to run outside. So, the other night I joined Team Christmas and am putting up miles for my man Santa. I’m hoping Santa’s little elves can squeak out a win here. Rudolph seems to have power in numbers right now. I can’t let the big guy down. My five miles last night were tough so I de more...

Rose tint my world…

This past weekend was one of the most amazing, wonderful, action packed, yet relaxing weekends ever.  It really needs to be separate posts– but if I did that then I’d never get around to posting about it.  Brace yourselves for a long-ass post instead. Friday night my friend Jennifer and I had plans to go to dinner.  We met up at my place and walked down Glenwood South, hoping that something would entice us.  It wasn’t until we hit Hillsborough St. that we had the epiphany– Betskis!  We took s more...

Nike Air Tailwind ‘92 LE - White - Purple

We first learned of Nike retroing the Air Tailwind ‘92 back in the Summer when all we had were these small pictures of the Spring 2009 samples and now we have some great pictures of the upcoming Nike Air Tailwind ‘92 LE in one of the original colorways of White and Purple. The Air Tailwind ‘92 features one of the more interesting logos from Nike, the “Tailwind” logo on the tongue of the shoe looks like it was inspired by some of the Agassi graphics that came out during the same time. This sho more...
