7 miles

OH man, I am done today. We were on schedule to run 7 this morning. I had my little power bar and grapefruit juice and headed out the door at 7:15 to meet the team. It was overcast and cool which was nice since it was going to be a long run. Coach Noah gave a short clinic on nutrition and fluids and off we went. We had a new route this morning which was a nice change of scenery. We headed up Yale and then about 2 miles up we turned onto a lovely trail that wound through parks and trees and houses. It was really nice. The sun actually peaked out about 20 minutes into the run and I realized I didn’t put on sunscreen before I left. Ooops. I must have been super sleepy cause I never forget sunscreen. I felt pretty good just a little tired. It has been a tough week with work being busy and trying to fit in all my runs and get good sleep.  I realized on more than one occasion how much of a music runner I am. I always knew this, as I almost always run with and ipod. But this week especially I took more notice of how even when I am tired and struggling to keep going, if I just get to a good song on my nano I can push through. I typically run to whatever tempo is playing in my ears and I have already started making mental notes for my marathon playlist. I am going to need about four and a half hours of music to get me through this. SO here is my list so far.......in no particular order.

{You've come a long way, Baby}

I have been living in the Rabbit Hole for almost 2 years now. It has become my safe haven from the storm of this city. Don't get me wrong I love this city but it is nice to have a little sanctuary to retreat to when all the hustle and bustle starts to overwhelm. I love sitting at my window every morning to write and watch the parade of neighbors stroll by. I have come to "know" some of them, not personally but just by virtue of seeing them on a regular basis. But that will be another post. This is all about the Rabbit Hole. As I come up on the 2 year mark, I took a look back at where it all started. I remember walking into the apartment with my mom and my broker and falling immediately in love with this little space. I am so thankful we were able to pull off the painstaking process of actually getting the apartment. It has been such a great place to live. And there have been some changes. So here are the before and afters of the last two years.  It was so bare and crisp...

Henri Bendel

I am in Love. It happened quite suddenly although I met him years ago. We rekindled our affair on Fashion's night out a few months back and now it's official, I am head over heels. :) His name is Henri and I love everything about him. I want to be a Bendel Girl for the rest of my life. All illustrations by Izak Zenou who does Incredibly beautiful work. Oh to be THAT talented....swoon.

Gray hair coming in HOT

Has anyone else had to come to grips with how much gray hair you actually have in the last few weeks? NO? Just me? Ok. I needed some color before we even went into shelter in place but a move, a job in Boston and then a complete shutdown of all no-essential services (Um that depends on who you ask) thwarted my getting into Kay’s chair in FiDI. SO here I am, easily 3 weeks past due and oh hey look at all those grays! The funny thing is it depends on where I part my hair as to how much presents itself. I have a lovely little patch right on the top of my head just past my hairline. So there will be no trendy mid parts in my foreseeable future. But if I go just a bit off center to the left you can barely see them. Although I am getting more and more around the temple, ear area so there is that.      I don’t even so much mind my grays. Yes it signals that I am not “young” anymore, well not in the 20-30 years young, but it doesn’t make me feel OLD. I like how I feel when I’v...
