what’s next
Graduation was earlier this week, but I wasn’t able to attend due to work and such and it all seems very anticlimactic. Regardless, my MS, RD status is pretty much final and that feels damn good. It’s...

the running!
When I headed to Buffalo last weekend, I was a little apprehensive about a few things – going camping (bugs), turning 31 (really?), my grandparents getting older (sad) – and also about my goal of...

it’s supposed to be fun
Now that I can run again, I’m really, really eager to get training. Wineglass is in 18 or so weeks, and when we’re talking marathon training that’s (arguably) about the time to get started. This makes...

“healthy eating”
The other day at work I received a consult to provide nutrition counseling to a patient on one of my floors. As you can imagine, this is a big part of my job and a standard practice. I love talking to...

wineglass training week 1
Since Wineglass is in 17 weeks now, I guess it’s safe to say I’m “training,” even if that means a bunch of easy miles and some cross training for now. The leg feels great, but I’m still trying to...

five reasons not to “juice cleanse”
Certain things tend to consistently drive me crazy – ruffly running skirts, sparkles or running a race “easy” – but despite my own opinions on this (mostly) superficial stuff, to each her own. If...

nutrition advice from all? RDs vs. “nutritionists”
You guys. What kind of world are we living in when one can consider themselves qualified to give nutrition advice because they post pictures of meals they consider “healthy” and/or talk about said...

wineglass training week 3
I can’t believe week 3 of training has already come and gone! Time is flying, and I’m finally feeling a little more fit post-injury. Here’s how the week went: Monday: 4 miles easy, 50 minutes vinyasa...

tuesday tempo, milk ponderings
I can’t believe it’s not even July yet and we’re already having one of those “it’s not the heat, it’s the humidity” type of weeks. Shit, it’s going to be a long summer. But the fact of the matter is,...

beets will make you faster (?)
Recently we got a new food service company at my hospital, and not only have the patient meals been revamped, but our cafeteria received a (very) necessary makeover. We now have a salad bar that rivals...

wineglass training week 4
I think the pile of soaking wet running clothes in my hamper on Sunday sums up last week’s training pretty nicely. I don’t think I’ve ever sweat so much in a one week period, and cannot imagine...

Firecracker 5K Race Recap
This race was full of poor decisions and way too much sweat, thanks to 352380% humidity that seems to be sticking around NYC for way too long. But! I was still happy to be out there and able to run,...

wineglass training week 8
At least I think it’s week 8. Honestly, it feels like this race is going to sneak up on me pretty quickly since time seems to be flying. It’s been a good, busy week that started with a day off (work +...

keep on keeping on?
So I guess I haven’t blogged in a few weeks. Life has definitely been busy, but to tell the truth most of the lack in posts has been pretty purposeful. When I first started blogging it was fun,...

battle of brooklyn 10 mile race recap
I had been looking for a longer distance to race this month kind of as a tune-up/fitness test leading up to Wineglass – which is in 7 weeks! ahhh – without much luck. Ideally I wanted to run a half,...
