I’m all about the personal challenges as of late. If that makes me a super-annoying woman who is clearly close to 30, then so be it.
So, we’ve already talked about my rest-of-the-year challenge: 3 concert tickets on my fridge at all times. I’ve been wildly successful so far. On the docket for the rest of [...]
I’ll be 29 in a few (solid) months and it’s time to make the generic “Before 30″ list. I’m disgusted with myself.
However.
It is a good way to get shit done. And I respond really, really well to lists and directions.
It’s also late, I’m tired, and I really just wanted to get the idea started before [...]
I’m sitting on the couch in my apartment, wrapped in a plush blanket and watching the Twins. I’m such a fair-weather fan; I only watch when they’re on the brink of something exciting.
But, the joy of it is all part of another weekend in New York. Weekends are very important here. Not for rest and [...]

(And before you get all- it’s just your boyfriend, don’t you have [...]

8:42 AM*, Starting Line: Cold, cold, cold.
8:55 AM, Mile 1: STILL have random people one inch away from me. People, back off! Can’t you see I’m trying to run 13 miles here?!? Worry, worry. Can’t seem to be able to set a steady pace.
9:15 AM, Mile 3: “I Tried” by -yes- Bone, Thugs -N- Harmony [...]
10: I was able to find my happy place during the race today and stay there for approximately 1 hour and 39 minutes. Congrats to my running friends who also rocked it out today.
7: Iris is 7 months old, which - in puppy terms - means she is becoming a woman. Well, thee who giveth [...]
Old Sarah would tear open one of these expensive (forty dollars for a case of 24!), unappetizing packages of gel -which resemble in appearance a certain bodily fluid that will not be named here- for an energy burst during a long run.
