Manhattan twenty-something trying to become the youngest woman to run a marathon in all fifty states, while still enjoying her margaritas. Sometimes simultaneously. Oh yes, I'm here, just busy. I ran the Wall Street Run last week and have quite a story to tell there... No guarantees though - you all know I'm terrible about that. I'm currently wrapping up my project… Full Story »

Manhattan twenty-something trying to become the youngest woman to run a marathon in all fifty states, while still enjoying her margaritas. Sometimes simultaneously. Sorry for the six day disappearance - it would seem that I never get around to posting on my good days. Okay, not that this weekend constituted "good days." I mean, they were fantastic days from a fun perspective, and… Full Story »

My Week in Food
Absolut(ly) Fit &bull Jun 17, 2010
Manhattan twenty-something trying to become the youngest woman to run a marathon in all fifty states, while still enjoying her margaritas. Sometimes simultaneously. This week, I've been out to dinner every night. First up was BLT Burger, where we were going specifically to try the alcoholic milkshakes. I ate lightly during the day in order to save up for it (yogurt for breakfast, veggie salad for lunch), so I was all set, right? Well, except that on my lunch break I read a FlyerTalk post discussing where… Full Story »

Manhattan twenty-something trying to become the youngest woman to run a marathon in all fifty states, while still enjoying her margaritas. Sometimes simultaneously. Last night, my world record breaking self appeared on New York Nightly News with Chuck Scarborough. It was a crazy experience!

Race Report: Vermont City Marathon
Absolut(ly) Fit &bull Jun 1, 2010
Manhattan twenty-something trying to become the youngest woman to run a marathon in all fifty states, while still enjoying her margaritas. Sometimes simultaneously. The first thing I felt when I woke up was nervous... The answer was, surprisingly, no - I was a bit dehydrated from the alcohol, but other than that was totally fine. Yay! I tried to be very quiet while getting myself together so as not to wake up our roommate, Sara, but as it got closer to time to leave, my mom and I started wondering if we should make her. She was doing the last… Full Story »

Night Before the Race: Vermont City Marathon
Absolut(ly) Fit &bull May 30, 2010
Manhattan twenty-something trying to become the youngest woman to run a marathon in all fifty states, while still enjoying her margaritas. Sometimes simultaneously. After being out till 4am on Friday night, I had to be at Penn Station for the 7am bus to Albany on Saturday morning. Oops! That probably wasn't the way to get rested up for the race. While I had to work for a while on the bus, I did manage to get about an hour of sleep on the quick trip up to Albany - not great, but better than nothing. My mom met me at… Full Story »

Race Report: Fargo Marathon
Absolut(ly) Fit &bull May 24, 2010
Manhattan twenty-something trying to become the youngest woman to run a marathon in all fifty states, while still enjoying her margaritas. Sometimes simultaneously. After a 5 minute walk that totally drenched my hair and face, I arrived at the Fargodome where the start and finish of the race were. It was like a huge stadium that was entirely covered, and when I headed into the main part of the "Dome", I found that they still had vendors from the expo set up all over the field. Even cooler, I discovered that the race finish was inside the Dome, with bleachers… Full Story »
