2013 Workforce Team Challenge
Thursday night was a perfect night for a race! A few co-workers and I walked to the Empire State Plaza for my FOURTH Workforce Challenge 3.5 mile race! There was a slight breeze, and I think it was around 80 degrees. We hung around the museum steps for about an hour just chatting. {me and my co-worker, Grace. HEY GRACE!} Finally, with about 20 minutes to go, we walked down to the starting line. I decided in the beginning that I was going to take my time. Its impossible to start out this race fast–there is just too many people. The course is very similar to the Freihofer’s Run, with…

HMRRC Winter Series #4 – 15K
Another winter series race in the books! Today was #4 of this season.

Escaping the Cold

On the way back to my parents’ place we stopped to eat at Mulligans, one of their favorite river-side restaurants. I ordered the fish tacos, of course. Its nice to be back here! Sunday morning I decided it was…

Instant Strawberry Pancakes, a Barbecue and some Naked Wine
Wow my arms are sore today! Yesterday morning I went to the gym to get a workout in and I did mostly upper body on the weight machines for about 10 minutes. Now I’m paying for it! My workout also included a 10 mile ride on the stationary (boring) bike and some crunches and push ups. Anyway, yesterday was fun!!! I made breakfast super early because I woke up at an ungodly hour. I was feeling lazy and I wanted pancakes so I brought out the instant mix. I got some ground flax at the store the other day so I added a bit of that to the mix. The…
