Weekend Update
Friday night a few friends and I went to Troy Night Out! We went to Troy Cloth & Paper’s Print Off. They were selling prints designed by the Artist of the Month and I knew I wanted one, it was awesome. We wandered around downtown a little bit before stopping at Bacchus for some pizza. I’ve only been here a few times, but every time the pizza is great. The crust is extremely thin and crispy, the pizza has lots of flavor and it’s not overloaded with cheese. After dinner we walked over to Peck’s Arcade, the new spot next to the Confectionery. This place is extremely hip. I loved…

Troy Turkey Trot 10K
Happy Thanksgiving! Hope you all had a great day today. I started out my thanksgiving this morning with the Turkey Trot in Troy! It was my third time running this race but the first time doing the 10K. I didn’t really want to leave my apartment this morning to go running in 20mph winds and 23 degrees…but I’ve ran in worse so I had no excuse. Christine and I shivering before the race for started. I did a 2.3 mile warm up before the race to stay warm so once I got running it wasn’t too bad. My only goal for the 10K was to finish under an hour. I…

Troy Night Out and the Confectionery
Last Friday at the beginning of the long weekend, I met a few friends for a night out in Troy. We walked around the tight knit market, looking at all the awesome crafts and enjoying the atmosphere. Troy just keeps getting better and better. There are numerous new shops and restaurants that have opened since I lived there! Although I do have to admit, some of the stores are a bit strange. (like the one above, which featured a ton of weird, vintage things…) Next up was dinner and drinks at the Confectionery, a wine bar that has become one of the coolest spots in Troy. With a brand new…

Hanging out in Troy
Saturday was a pretty busy day this past weekend! Earlier in the day my friend Brendan and I went running in the Pine Bush Preserve. Neither one of us had been before, it’s a really nice park with lots of trails. It was really buggy though, so if we stopped for even a minute the bugs attacked! We made sure to wear bugspray but apparently it wasn’t enough! We ran about 2.75 miles. After coming home and showering, it was time to head over to Troy Cloth & Paper, a design studio where you can screen print custom shirts! They also use all eco-friendly inks for printing! The reason I…

Weekend Goodness: Margaritas, Sombreros and a Gorgeous Wedding
What a beautiful weekend we had here…it was pretty exciting. Friday night I celebrated my birthday with some friends at El Mariachi. It was such a gorgeous night! I was hoping to be out on the patio but we weren’t, it was still fun though! The margaritas are amazing at El Mariachi. I ordered the Enchiladas el Mariachi, my favoriteeee dish from here. So glad I got to celebrate with such good friends. Sadly my sister and her boyfriend were absent since they had a wedding to go to in PORTLAND, OR. (I am so jealous!) But we managed to have an awesome time. They even gave me some flan…
