From the Marathon to the 5k

By idratherbestrongthanskinny on November 30, 2012November 30, 2012

The last road race I conquered was a 10k in West Point, NY. But before that, I had been training for the Country Music Marathon in Nashville, Tennessee. Instead of running quick miles on the treadmill or around The Fens (I was living in Boston at the time), I would head out for super endurance

When the Weather Gets Tough… Keep Running

By idratherbestrongthanskinny on November 30, 2012

Although my family didn’t lose power during the rough weeks before, during, or following Hurricane Sandy, my town had its fair share of damage and in general, disorder. Some families were without power for weeks, while others had their homes fall victim to uprooted trees and more substantial damage. The Pascack Valley Train line that

Help Hurricane Sandy Victims the #SweatPink Way

By idratherbestrongthanskinny on November 30, 2012

Hurricane Sandy literally blew us away. We were warned about it and saw the news reports in advance, but the devastation that hit certain areas of New York and New Jersey still proved surprising—and devastating.   Thankfully, my family and friends all survived for the most part unscathed, with the biggest blunders being gas and

Are You Tough Enough?

By idratherbestrongthanskinny on November 30, 2012November 30, 2012

I’ve done a Spartan Sprint, a Warrior Dash, have completed a full 26.2-mile marathon and several halves. But I’ve never experienced anything like a Tough Mudder. A Tough Mudder is roughly 12 miles full of obstacles, climbs, hills, electroshock therapy, water and a whole lot of mud. Clean freaks need not enter, and the weak need

Make it EPIC

By idratherbestrongthanskinny on November 30, 2012November 30, 2012

There are a lot of perks to working at my job. For one, I am the token female of the company. Some may say that’s a bad thing—but I don’t think so. For one thing, any women-oriented merchandise that enters the office is immediately mine. Also, there’s no weird female competitiveness (read: bitchiness) that I know goes

Spin Cycle

By idratherbestrongthanskinny on November 30, 2012

As much as I love running, from time to time I attempt to switch up my workout regime and try something different. It’s hard to shake up a routine sometimes, but if you belong to a gym and fitness classes are a part of the package it’s silly not to utilize the help of a

Your Pace or Mine?

By idratherbestrongthanskinny on November 30, 2012November 30, 2012

Though I enjoy running solo most of the time, I always love running with another person. Whether they challenge you by keeping a slightly faster pace, help you realize your strength by having to slow to meet theirs, or just provide some wonderful running conversation, I always feel like I connect with a person I

Welcome!

By idratherbestrongthanskinny on November 28, 2012November 30, 2012

This is my first post, and while it won’t be super long or full of breaking news, I don’t want this blog to be empty before I have time for a more lengthy entry. But you probably want to know what a 23-year-old like me is doing spending countless hours every week running aimlessly down
