NYC 2013: Roll Call
Is one month away! Are you IN? How are you feeling? Local or traveling in for the race? Were you in training for 2012 too? I am feeling so ready/not ready.

Injured?
So this is super annoying - I am currently side-lined and not sure if I should be or if I can safely run. I am training for ING NYC which will be my third marathon (in just under 365 days) and Saturday before last (9/14) I ran my first 18 miler of this training cycle. It went pretty well. I didn't love every minute of it…

So my training was only a week off. I ran 10…

Not complaing about losing but....

It was an expensive (for me) treat and I only got to wear it a couple…

NSV??
I am not sure if all the ladies out there will agree that this is an NSV. This morning all my more structured supportive running bras were dirty so I wore one of those little seamless Y-back sports bras out running for the first time ever and I was FINE! In the past I never would have dreamed of doing high impact exercise…
