5 Nov

Even though the marathon was cancelled my mom, Ben and I tried to make the best of the weekend. IMG_8877 (800x600)

Luckily, two of Ben’s best friends live in New York and another one lives in Boston and took a bus out to NYC. We only see them once a year or so (at weddings) and I know that really sucks for Ben.  So, we had already planned to spend a lot of time with them this weekend.

They surprised him with a birthday dinner celebration which was really sweet (his bday was in Sept) and I know it meant a lot to him Smilenew york frozen yogurt

Dan just had a baby a few weeks ago but I missed seeing his wife Cathy and the babe when I had a meeting Saturday. Sending love to their adorable tiny baby <3 (Seriously cutest baby and so so tiny!)new york frozen yogurt

After dinner we went back to his friend’s apartment and just hung out. I slacked all weekend on taking pictures, but I swore I took a pic of their apartment and can’t find it?! I’m so intrigued by New York City living since I’m such a suburbs girl.

Dinner Saturday was noteworthy – I think this is the first time I’ve had real New York style pizza?! Pizza is my favorite food and I don’t know of any good pizza places near my home. I was looking forward to carb loading before the race with a big ol’ slice. IMG_8995 (800x600)

My mom and I split 2 slices and I think I am a fan of thin crust?! I would have never expected it since I’m such a bread fan, but I think thin crust might be my new fave (outside of legit Chicago deep dish in Chicago only).IMG_8925 (800x600)

Then we saw an off Broadway musical – Newsical. It was a comedy about the news and current events. They poked fun at everything from the election to binders of women to Paula Deen. I liked it!IMG_8996 (800x600)

This morning we woke up at 4am to get to the airport for our 7am flight.  I think I’ve gotten 4 hours of sleep or less every night since Thursday’s red eye. I’m feeling pretty tore up at this point.IMG_9002 (800x600)

We got to the airport and through security pretty quickly.IMG_9007 (800x600)

I figured since we were flying out of JFK there would be a lot of food options past the security line. Wrong. There was only one place open and all they had were plain bagel sandwiches or muffins. Bah.IMG_9005 (800x600)

At 6am Peet’s opened and I bought an iced coffee. The sunglasses are necessary given my extreme lack of sleep this weekend. IMG_9008 (800x600)

I am so so ready to go home! I would have went straight home Friday if it wasn’t for Ben and my mom being here with me.

IMG_9011 (800x600)

Now I’m blogging from the air on a Virgin America flight. It’s so fancy.IMG_9012 (800x600)

We’re supposed to land around 11am and then I am hoping to get some errands done before I go back to work tomorrow. My boss text me as soon as the news the marathon was cancelled hit – I think she thought I would end up working today, but I’m kind of a zombie.pile on the miles 2012

      My goal for this week is 18 miles. I had a 10km race last Sunday on top of my usual weekly runs so that should put my weekly milage up a bit. Unfortunately at my Monday running class the next day my running coach thought it would be a good idea to do hill repeats. Not fun :).

      My goal this week is 5 miles. I realize this sounds very small to some, but I’m still new at running and very busy most days and it gets dark early. I think I may try my hand at a morning run since the sun is up earlier these days.

Would love to read a post about it. What did the other ambassadors for ING do once the race was cancelled? Did they volunteer?

      I can’t believe I didn’t bump into you at all this weekend. I did my 26.2 miles all over NYC yesterday and ended with the last few miles in Central Park. It was an incredible feeling with all the other runners, so memorable. Also, the apartment I stayed in was three doors down from the Levain Bakery. I saw the lines out the door and had to go get one of those amazing cookies too. I looked for your gorgeous red hair all weekend but never saw you. Maybe next time!

      My goal is 25 slow, easy miles. I did 6 on the trails yesterday to start the week out, but while they were slow, they were not easy miles. The rest of the week, I’ll stick to the goal 😉

      My goal for this week is what I’ve already completed. 26.2 miles! I ran my first marathon yesterday (along with some who had planned to run in the NY marathon). Such a great experience! I’ll be running another again – just not sure when. I know I can do much better next time – I’ve learned so much this time around.

      My total goal is 50. I am running the Divas Half in San Juan this weekend. I think that my overall goal was very reasonable and I hope to blow it out of the water. I can’t imagine running more than 10 miles before Sunday (race day).
