Monday = BLAH It figures it would rain pour all day. After Saturday’s crazy long run and Sunday’s race, my leg muscles were struggling. Let’s just say this week will be a serious taper week since next weekend is my HALF MARATHON!!! You would have thought this weekend’s race would have calmed my nerves, but I think I am even MORE jittery and anxious now. : / Java love + a whole lotta froth + toast with snb = good morning! Since the weather was crap I couldn’t procrastinate any longer. I was forced to… Read more >

I LOVE warm weather. And being that this was the first nice weekend we New Yorkers have had this season, I decided to take advantage. Obviously, I wasn’t the only one with this brilliant idea…apparently the rest of New York was on the same wavelength. I wish I had a photo of Central Park…the great lawn was PACKED like nothing I’ve ever seen. Not an INCH to spare! “Not an square to spare.” – anyone? AM Montage: frothy java, chobz, & coconut date rolls I went on a supah long run in the Park before… Read more >

I spent most of today outside, so my food pictures will be fewer than usual. But that’s a good thing. It means SUNSHINE! I woke up crazy early (thanks for that 6:55 am text Jess) and enjoyed some frothy java before heading to the gym. I like getting my workouts done early when the weather is awesome…plus Jess and I had an appointment at Jenny Yoo to get to. [insert 4 miles on the elliptical here] After the gym I showered, beautified, and chowed down the above brunch while trying not to get peanut butter… Read more >

Finally, a day off of work…time to get the apartment set up! After I got back from errands, I made a big lunch. A pseudo BLT (soy bacon, spinach, and hummus)…ok, so it was a BLH. I used Lightlife soy bacon and Sabra hummus (obvi) on my fave, Alvarado street bread. Looks delish, huh!!! I cleaned the apartment while snacking chowing down some dried fruit. I was a bit of a slacker, and really wasn’t feeling the gym, but I dragged myself there (my goal is to not come in last in April’s half marathon). … Read more >

I woke up insanely early this morning considering I rarely eat brekkie at the apartment on work days. But, hey, I like to color outside the lines. Watch out! Coffeeeeeeee!! If you add a gallon of soymilk, it doesn’t really stain your teeth, right? Sure, Elise, whatever helps you sleep at night… I was feeling nearly 100% (thank goodness) so I had a quick bite (Alvarado street bread toasted with Earth Balance spread) and then I was off to work… Look at all the Odwalla bars my mom sent me home with!!! She knows how… Read more >
