Happy Earth Day! *Did you do anything to celebrate?* I wore a Looney Tunes Johnny Cupcakes t-shirt to make myself feel festive.  Okkk, it has nothing to do with the Earth, but it’s fun and put a smile on my face. I skipped Body Pump in favor of a walk around Copley Square. John Hancock [...]

As the title implies, I was really excited about breakfast this morning. But gotta rewind a little… I snacked on a small bowl of Wheat Thins (to hold me over until dinner) while I drove back to Boston last night. I made a very morning themed dinner:  a scrambled egg sandwich with cheese on an [...]

I know I missed photos of a lot of bits and bites throughout yesterday afternoon/evening.  Running 11.5 miles took a lot out of me and I made sure to eat properly and refuel. I used my parents’ leftovers and made a Taco Salad. Mmm, mixed up, messy, and ready to eat.  Taco salads are one [...]

Jared took care of dinner last night while I tried to power through a book review that’s due NOW. I’m glad he made lots of pasta with broccoli and chicken.  I wanted my carbs and protein for the long run I had planned in the morning. I got up and gobbled down a bowl of [...]

Today was the 114th running of the Boston Marathon! I’m so grateful to live in Boston, 5 minutes from the finish line.  The city was crowded with runners, spectators, crazy college kids, and more.  The atmosphere was electric.  You could really feel the energy and excitement everywhere! Becky came back to Boston, and brought my [...]

Camel made of pantyhose.  Boston is so artsy! After the 5K, Becky and I met up with Julie.  The 3 of us went to the Sports and Fitness Expo.  I liked walking around for the 2nd time, grabbing more free samples and people watching. I spotted Ali from the Biggest Loser, signing books and posing [...]

After the Sports and Fitness Expo, Becky and I got ready for Wine Riot. We headed to the Cyclorama for some tasty sips. Plus Cabot cheese to go with the wine.  Mmmm! I even tried Malbec in a Box. Riesling, the ultimate girly girl wine! Overall, I was a bit underwhelmed by Wine Riot.  I [...]

In the past 12 hours, I… attended Wine Riot blogged with Becky ate some Mediterranean food attended a crappy concert And now I’m getting ready to run the BAA 5K and cross the Boston Marathon finish line 1 day before the real runners. I know, I know…I owe you guys a blog post or 2. 

My cousin Becky is visiting!  She’ staying over tonight and running the BAA 5K in the morning. We walked the the Sports and Fitness Expo to pick up our race numbers. Registration and t-shirt pick up! Odwalla samples, and a fun employee who wanted to be featured on the blog. Mmm, loved the Odwalla smoothie [...]
