I have run the Brooklyn Half Marathon once before. It was 2011, and I had just started training for my first marathon. I was in the best shape of my life. I was fast, fit, strong, and confident. The Brooklyn Half Marathon that year was in no way a goal race. And was working toward 26. I wanted a strong race with a proud finish. Imagine my annoyance and pissed of.

Tuesday, July 19, 2011. Wednesday, February 23, 2011. Today is my 2 year blogiversary! My, how things have changed in 2 years. I still have plenty of delicious recipes to share, so stay tuned! The challenge.

These took me by surprise. I like to experiment, and my coworkers are willing testers. I thought tahini in brownies sounded more interesting than the customary peanut butter. I was not, however, expecting it to be better than peanut butter. These did actually taste similar to peanut butter brownies, but the tahini was just a little more subtle. Instead of battling the chocolate for dominance, it was a quieter complement.

Same crowd, different bar. Today, I had one of those bizarre epiphanies. The kind that leads you to a totally obvious conclusion. Around the neighborhood in the sweltering heat I tooled. I probably ran three miles and change.

Eat, Drink and be Merry, Manhattan. But try this on for size. Spend all of my money. Buy running shoes and CWX gear is offering a free yoga series. Is also offering a 3 day studio trial.

A blog about cooking, baking and eating. Cheese tends to make everything better, right? And brussels sprouts are no exception. 1 lb of brussels sprouts, ends trimmed. Pinch of red pepper flakes.

Stories, tips, race reviews and more from a runner chick. This post has been brewing for a few years, so be patient with me if I ramble on at all. Since I completed my first USAT sanctioned event in the summer of 2011, I knew I was completely hooked on the sport of triathlon. And then, just a few days later my boyfriend at the time asked me to marry him! After our wedding, we both settled back.

Sunday, December 18, 2011. Ugly Sweater Party and Sunday Dinner. Week and then enjoy 10 days off. I was too busy shoving my face to take any food shots but she had quite the spread. Buffalo chicken dip, spinach dip, meatballs, mini pizzas, pigs in a blanket, mini tacos, veggies, and endless desserts.

On running, wining, dining and more in that dear, old, dirty town. My New York City Marathon. And because I stopped blogging so long ago, that backtrack requires rehashing a little bit of the feelings I never verbalized with the cancellation of the NYCM last year. Then, as we all know, more shit hit the fan.
