This Girl Loves an Organized Run

My 12 mile run on July 12th through NY Road Runners was awesome! It's so much easier to log miles when there are people with cups of water, gatorade, gel packs, and fire hoses every few miles. The next organized long training run they are doing is while I'm in Belize, but I will definitely sign up for the September and October ones once registration opens - I wish they had them every weekend.

I got way too sunburnt on Saturday at Port Jefferson beach and had to skip Sunday's run, just too painful. But tonight I'll do 6 miles with my friend Jenna, also a Fred's Team runner, in Central Park - which is always fun! Mom is sending running shirts in the mail (thanks Mom!). Hopefully some fancy running shirts will aid in the arm-chafing department - I got a stick of Body Glide too, which many runners have recommended to me.

Dimitri's mom accidentally plugged my marathon charity at a dinner party on Friday night and two people donated. She is embarrassed but my Fred's Team account is $200 richer!

  1. Running shirts are in the mail and I hope you like them. I also think we should send your blog postings to Runners World magazine for publishing. Your writing is great! and now, so is your running. You renaissance girl, you! Love, Mom
