I spent a lot of my workday in front of a screen. And while this idea overall bothers me (I would love to eventually one day have a career that allows me to step out from behind the screen and interact with others more), I come across a LOT of amazing articles, blog posts, and good reads I feel are shareworthy.

#TheErins: A Podcast About Running, Friendship & Life

There are few things I like to talk about more than running. And while there are a variety of running-related podcasts and web-isodes that exist, there was nothing available that I felt combined news and updates surrounding the sport with the social aspect of the running community that I love so much.

In our first episode, meet #TheErins and learn about some of the latest updates surrounding the running community, our love/hate relationship with Quest bars, and how to dress for cold weather running.

Erin and Erin, Also talk about running, friendship and life. #TheErins

Let me start this post by saying that I am incredibly lucky.

I have a wonderful, supportive family and am overwhelmed on a daily basis by the amount of phenomenal friends I can count on in my life. I have two, strong legs that can carry me through what seems like an insane amount of miles to many people. I am not terrible looking. I have a great job, smart coworkers, and a cozy apartment in Hell’s Kitchen with a roommate who is nice and asks me about my day when I come home.

You should not feel sorry for me. Continue reading “I Ran A Boston Qualifying Marathon Time, And Nobody Was Waiting For Me At The Finish Line” →
