- The infamous NYRR Empire State Building Run-Up was this week and because many of us at Runner’s World weren’t able to partake (although, I did write about it here and here!) we decided to have our own run-up. – The Runner’s World Building Run-Up [with an epicly entertaining video]
- The New York Times has interviewed the same trainer, five times. Excessive? You decide – The New York Times Should Just Marry Michael Olajide Jr. Already via Gawker
- One of my favorite posts this week came from Lora. She wrote about how a really unmotivated run turned inspiring in a single moment. – Lack of Motivation Turned Inspiration via LVRunsNYC
- A new study looks at the health benefits, perceived or legitimate of drinking red wine. – Is Drinking Red Wine Actually Good for You? via Greatist [I say YES!]
- If you follow me on Instagram you know I got a crock-pot recently and tested it out this weekend. I’m now in love with it and obsessively pinning crock-pot recipes on Pinterest. Here is the recipe I plan to try on Sunday – Crock-Pot French Onion Soup via Dashing Dish
This weekend I’ll run 16 miles, my longest distance ever, as part of training for Big Sur. Sixteen WHOLE miles! That is a lot of miles. I’m scared but grinning in anticipation at the challenge.
Good luck with the 16-mile run! I’m sure you’ll be great.
Thanks Amanda! As long as the roads are clear from this storm I think it’s going to be great!
I just got a crockpot too! Am gonna be stalking you (in the healthy way, obvs) for your recipes ;0)
By all means, stalk away! If you have Pinterest, I made a board dedicated to crock-pot recipes. Check it out: http://pinterest.com/hannahmcgold/crock-pot-deliciousness/
That saying reminds me of something my husband does. He buys me adventure books and leaves messages like “Don’t try this at home” on them. He knows that if it scares me I will probably try it.
Sometimes a little fear is just what we need to take on new challenges. At least that’s what I think!
