Wordless Wednesday: My Girl On The Run!

Posted in Uncategorized, tagged , , , , , , , on June 10, 2015| 1 Comment »

Today we ran our practice 5K for the Girls on the Run race coming up at the end of the month. Girls on the Run is such an amazing, empowering, positive organization that has taught my youngest incredible life skills. Through the program the girls learn about perserverance, gaining confidence, working as a team, positive strategies when dealing with adversity and most of all, encouraging and supporting each other. I am so proud of my little rockstar and love being able to share these moments with her. 

Hope you all have a wonderful Wednesday my friends. May we all take some time to remember to lift each other up!

Wordless Wednesday: This Is 43!

Posted in Uncategorized, tagged , , , , , , , , on June 3, 2015| 1 Comment »

Every year on my birthday I like to take time to reflect. This year I am especially grateful for the amazing people that I have in my life. I am truly lucky for all of you. Family and friends who constantly surround me in love and remind me of life’s beauty. New adventures and new paths twist and turn in any new year and I am taking a deep breath and stepping forward.

Wordless Wednesday: Baseball Practice

Posted in Uncategorized, tagged , , , , , , on May 27, 2015| Leave a Comment »

It is a gorgeous sunny afternoon. There is a lovely breeze coming off the river. Perfect for a little baseball or for lounging around watching baseball practice. And that is exactly what I am doing. Enjoying the moment, taking a breather, appreciating the simple joys in life. Pretty soon it will be time to make dinner, help with homework, tidy the apartment, take out the dog, deal with reality. But not right now.

Cherish the day my friends. 😀

Wordless Wednesday: Taking It One Step At A Time…

Posted in Uncategorized, tagged , , , , , , , , on May 13, 2015| 1 Comment »

Sometimes just putting one foot in front of the next and willing yourself to move forward is the hardest part of the day. I have been struggling training for my upcoming half marathon for various reasons. But today I laced up the shoes, took a deep breath, headed to the park and just kept moving. I hope you all have a beautiful day filled with hope, determination and little steps forward. 💜

Wordless Wednesday: Spring Cold AND NYC Pollen Tsunami

Posted in Uncategorized, tagged , , , , , , , on May 6, 2015| Leave a Comment »

There is nothing good about a spring cold. The weather is finally beautiful but instead of being outside all you want to do is hide under the covers. Today my spring cold along with the “pollen tsunami” that is currently happening in NYC is kicking my butt. I have decided the only good cure is to crash on the couch, catch up with the firemen from “Chicago Fire” and keep the Kleenex close. Hope you are all sniffle free. Have a wonderful Wednesday! 😷😎

Wordless Wednesday: 8 Miles- Boom. 

Posted in Uncategorized, tagged , , , , , , , , , on April 22, 2015| Leave a Comment »

It was a bit of a struggle bus this morning as I pounded 8 miles of Central Park. The sun was shining, everything is blooming, other runners are out in full force-it is pretty much perfect. Except I was overdressed and my allergies were bugging me and my pace was all over the place and, and, and… That is the funny thing about running, everything can be perfect and you can still have a tough day on the road. 

But, I did it. 8 miles. I am training again, back in the game. Moving forward. Doing it. I am out there. Ottawa, I am coming for you!! 😀 

A BIG thank you to Jessica who dragged my butt through the last four. Gotta love my amazing running partners/girlfriends.  I am one lucky lady. 

Get out there today and do something that is going to kick your butt just a bit, you can do it!! Happy Wednesday! Play nice and always remember to chose kindness. Xox

Spring, you didn’t forget us!! The sun is shining, the birds are singing, buds are bursting, people are sneezing, the sun is warm and spring is making an appearance.

No matter how long the winter, the beauty and colors of spring are bursting throughout the city. Take a deep breath, one foot at a time and find peace in new beginnings. Be well my friends.

“Pedal Your Blues Away…”

Posted in Uncategorized, tagged , , , , , , , , , on March 21, 2015| Leave a Comment »

Yesterday was the first day of Spring. Here in NYC, we had our last (it better be!!) winter storm. I don’t think there was a single person that was happy about it, no matter how pretty it looked. Nice in December, not so nice at the end of March. If it snows in April I am taking R’s advice and moving to Hawaii 😉 As I walked to my INDOOR cycling class I was drawn to all the bikes parked on the side of the street, ready for action but covered in snow. Hopeful, yet a wee bit depressing at the same time. It has been a VERY long winter for most of us and like the bikes we are all ready to get our spring on if only the weather would co-operate! Here’s hoping to a weekend of melting, thawing and warming… Happy Saturday everyone. Enjoy the pics.

Wordless Wednesday: Spring Running: It Is Here!!!

Posted in Uncategorized, tagged , , , , , , , on March 11, 2015| Leave a Comment »

Today was that day when I didn’t have to think about how many layers I had to put on. I did not shiver and grumble all the way to the park. My nose was not cold. It didn’t hurt to breathe. I did not wear a hat. I did not slip on any patches of ice. 

I DID bask in the sunshine. I DID hear the birds singing. I DID see tons of other runners. I DID blast some awesome tunes. 

The snow is melting, the weather is perfect and my run this morning felt wonderful. The city is coming awake, slowly stretching out of hibernation. Bring it on!! Happy Wednesday my friends!! 🙂
