- Kraft Run: First Place, Baaaby!
Some friends and I are all currently deep in training for various marathons: JunB for Camsur in September, Lit for Portland in October, and the hubby, JunC, Mariel and I for New York in November. Almost every weekend we try to do our long runs together. Plan for last Sunday was to run a total [...]
- Eating More to Lose Weight
I have a confession to make. For the past month, I’ve been in rehab: food rehab, that is. I’m learning how to eat all over again. Or, let’s just say, I’m learning how to eat. Period.

- Shoe Review: Brooks Glycerin 8
A couple of weeks ago, I was witness to the unveiling of the new Brooks baby: Glycerin 8. I occasionally drool over a nice looking shoe or pine over a new model, but it takes a good shoe to impress me. And, this one definitely did. – Fresh out of the box. Two security guards [...]

- Weekend for the Kids: Run to Read and U.P.
For the past weeks, hubby and I have been focused on training for NYC Marathon. We run separately on weekdays due to our chaotic schedules and run together on weekends. We usually run easy on Saturday mornings then join a race on Sundays. Both weekend mornings have been devoted to running. Last week, after all [...]
