The NYC Marathon is less than two months away. Gulp. My training runs are getting more frequent and longer. Emphasis on longer. I am just trying to stay healthy and injury free. This weekend is the marathon tune-up. 18 Miles. My longest run EVER. Three loops of Central Park. That means three times up the Harlem Hill, three times waving at the kitty and the little “hills” inbetween. I am gearing up mentally. We (my running partner, Claire and I) have GOT this!!! Bring. It. On. 

All the bravado aside, at this point I am doing anything and everything I can to keep my feet and the rest of me healthy. Epsom salt baths, rolling, stretching, icing, acupuncture and the miracle cream Penetrex. All these helpful devices look suspiciously like “toys” and I have received odd looks from non running friends when they see them lying around. 

  
I also LOVE my Oofos flip flops for walking around the apartment. It’s all about keeping my feet happy πŸ™‚

   
   
May the running Gods be forever in our favor!!

Happy Wednesday everyone!

it has been five years since we made the move to NYC. And what an adventure it has been and continues to be! The girls started 8th and 5th grade today, the oldest kids in each of their schools. Time sure is flying by!

Today, I also found a pic of them from 5 years ago when they excitedly held hands and started a new school together in a new hometown. Sniff.

Slow down a bit time, I need to cherish these moments. Hope all the kiddos and teachers heading back this week have a wonderful start. And to my own lovebugs- you’ve got this!

Happy Wednesday πŸ˜€

When I think of the word courage, I think of strength, endurance, overcoming obstacles, perseverance, determination and fiercely moving forward when it would be much easier to give up. 

Yesterday my new bracelet from Miles arrived. It is called Courage from his #B!TCHBR@CELTZ line. I love it. 

  
When I wear it on my wrist it is a gentle reminder that “I’ve got this” and that I am stronger than I think I am. We all need a little reminder that we are fierce and powerful. #ROARB!TCHZ

Thanks Miles! Please head on over to his website to see all of the other amazing bracelet options and inspiring words to live by on livewhereulive.com

   
 
Happy Wednesday! Be gentle, be kind and remember- courage my friends πŸ˜€

I feel like I have been incredibly lucky this summer to find myself in some of the most beautiful places in the U.S. New Hampshire is absolutely gorgeous- the lakes, mountains, trees, charming towns and spectacular sunsets. I am feeling grateful to have the time to hang out, read, relax and explore before I pick up the girls from camp on Saturday. The summer days are fleeting, hang on to them and enjoy every moment. πŸ’œ

It’s hot and sticky, reading the newspaper is depressing, overheated people in the city are grouchy, I miss my girls, sometimes you wake up a little blue…

And then you walk down the street and see these two cuties deep in conversation, heads almost touching. My heart lifted, I couldn’t help but smile. Thank you littles, whoever you are. It’s the little things. 

Happy Wednesday my friends πŸ’œ

I am currently all comfy on the Jitney heading to the Hamptons. After five years in the City, I am finally taking the road trip. Thank goodness for quiet air conditioned buses. I am already relaxed and leaving the heat and hustle of NYC behind me…

Happy Wednesday my friends, I hope the summer is treating you all well. 😎

I can’t believe that my baby turns 10 today. Double digits. Time sure does fly. Some days you just want to hold on to the little moments and never let go. I know she will be having an amazing time as she celebrates at camp today. Wishing my fabulous, fierce, independent, strong, big hearted Roo a wonderful birthday!!! We love you πŸ’œπŸ’œπŸ’œ

It’s that time of year again where the countdown to camp is real- 4 more sleeps!!! The apartment has been transformed into piles of items and things are being dutifully crossed off the packing list. We (or should I say I??!!) are almost done. The kids sweet reward is four weeks of paradise outside of the city. The adult reward is four child free weeks πŸ˜€ A win- win situation. Although I will definitely miss my two “not so little monkeys”, I am looking forward to a little peace and quiet or not… depending on my mood 😜 

Happy Wednesday my friends. I hope you are all enjoying your own little summer paradise, whatever/wherever it may be. Cheers!

Today the girls and I survived a shopping trip to Target. They are leaving for a month long camp adventure in 10 days and need a few last minute items. So, off to Target we went.

I usually go alone.

We all survived.

No one was injured or left behind.

We made it home in one piece.

The psychological damage will probably not be permanent.

I still forgot the damn batteries.

I need a drink πŸ˜‰

Happy Wednesday and Happy Canada Day to all my friends and family in the Great White North, Eh!

Two more days until the girls are finally out of school for the summer. I can’t wait. Remind me I said that in a few weeks πŸ˜‰ It is a spectacular day in NYC. No humidity, no clouds, not too hot and the promise of hazy, lazy days of summer right around the corner. 

Here’s to day trips, no packed lunches, picnics in the park, exploring the city, going away to camp, vacations away from the city, the empty summer streets, sleeping in, staying up late and enjoying each and every moment. 

Happy Summer my friends!!! πŸ’œπŸ’œπŸ’œ
