Running

2018 has been one of my best running and foodie years so far. I’ve had fun, met new people and I’ve learned a ton. I was even a running model in Central Park! Me? A model? Pretty amazing isn’t it? Jill Angie invited me. She’s a writer and a running coach who coaches women of […]

I have a confession to make. I’ve been on a long hill-hiatus. I can’t tell you why I stopped, but I was feeling very lazy about hills for about a year or so and only took flat routes or walked up hills. I used to like the challenge but for some reason I decided it […]

Several people have asked me what I did to get rid of my neuroma. Finding my Altra’s was the last and final step of my journey. By then my pain was mostly gone and I had cautiously started to run again http://exercisingfoodies.com/2017/07/17/running-form-altra-running-shoes/ When your neuroma is very inflamed, walking is excruciating and before I got […]

I posted this story on my personal Facebook page the other day and my friend pointed out that it ought to go on my blog. Good idea I think! I had a very dramatic morning run with the dogs and I’m feeling scared, thankful and annoyed. 😳❤️😡 Scared. As I’m coming down the running path […]

I want to begin by explaining that I’m making a bit of an exception here, this podcast does mention weight loss, something I try to avoid on my blog. That said, it’s so much more than that and even the weight loss mentions are good and done in a body positive way. What the rest […]

If you’re very fit you’ll sweat. A lot. This sometimes surprises people, many assume that they would sweat less, not more when they’re in better shape. But it’s the other way around. When your temperature raises your body needs to cool itself down by sweating, it does it quickly and more efficiently now when you’re […]

  You might have read my post about running as a way to deal with grief  but you don’t need to experience trauma or a death for it to be therapeutic. Disappointments, work stress or just a bad day can be comforted by a nice run. I don’t think there is anything that gives me […]

I didn’t understand the deal with Running Socks until recently. I just wore my regular mis-matched socks when I ran. I’ve stopped wearing matching pairs because I always loose them. I might wear one that’s black and thin and one striped blue and green in a thicker material and a different length than the other. […]

It’s official. I’m starting my own running group.It’s not for lack of trying that I’m not joining an existing group. I joined one once and I was left in the dust by the group within the first 3 minutes, and I don’t actually run that slow.After that experience I e-mailed and called every single googleable […]

On Halloween morning I left my apartment and ran west to enter the bike path by Chelsea Piers. If I run with my dogs, or is short on time, I usually make a right and run up to the Intrepid and then turn back. If I have more time I make a left and run […]
