With the marathon just five short days away, I’ve noticed a few things: I am craving a long run and was recently caught running in place by a friend I have a hard time talking about anything but the marathon (and am therefore nervous I’ve become boring and won’t have anything to talk about after [...]

The Countdown Begins

The marathon is officially one week from today. The carbo-loading has begun. The weather is incessantly being checked. Bedtime is officially 10pm every night for the rest of the week. And the only conversations I’m capable of fully being a part of revolve around running. More marathon posts to come this week!
Signs of the Seasons

During my latest trip to Headhouse’s Sunday market, I felt the presence of all four seasons around me. Spring was in the air on this 70 degree morning… Summer was still holding on through some gorgeous heirloom tomatoes… Winter even made an early appearance in the form of chestnuts… But, alas, Fall stole the show.

I’m now 90% convinced pull-back weeks in marathon training are necessary. The other 10% will come if I can successfully complete 16 miles on Friday. My confidence in the pull-back week comes from the fact that my past three runs have been some of my fastest yet. Here’s the recap: Friday, 5 miles: 9:20 pace [...]
Zucchini ‘Linguine’

Ever wonder how you can turn two of these… …into this??? No? Me either. That is, until I was left with two lone zucchini, a handful of cherry tomatoes and a block of ‘I-need-to-be-used-asap’ Parmesan cheese. Let me explain. I knew I was heading to the beach for the weekend, so I never re-stocked my [...]

The Good: getting my 8 mile ‘long run’ out of the way before the weekend running with a friend in Philly along the river (I’ll join you any other time before 9am!) leaving time for an hour of tennis tomorrow morning due to doing my long run today finally learning that running in the summer [...]
(A Lot of) Room for Improvement

While training for my half in May, I fell completely off the wagon with strength training. Plans were to jump back on over the summer, but a demanding Anatomy and Physiology class got in the way. And then there was vacation. And then post-vacation blues. And now? No more excuses. It’s marathon training season and [...]

The New York Times recently wrote an article entitled “Now, Chefs Court Farmers for the Best Ingredients.” The article is about how Jonathan Benno – the former chef de cuisine at Per Se – will use local ingredients from specialty farms in NY, NJ, CT and PA at his new restaurant at Lincoln Center in [...]
Memorial Day BBQ – Italian Style
Posted in Dinner, Pizza on June 3, 2010 | 6 Comments »
Memorial Day Weekend is supposed to be spent outside on the beach to welcome the unofficial start to summer. Unfortunately for me, I had my first test for A&P on Tuesday and couldn’t take part in the festivities. Despite the looming test, I refused to miss out on our Memorial Day barbecue. Last week I [...]
