THE BLOG

Tomorrow, I’m running the 5 Mile Prospect Park Turkey Trot.  I’ve done this race every year for 4 years and it’s always hard.  I haven’t done much running lately so I’m a little scared.  Pretty soon  5 miles won’t be so scary because I’ll be training to be part of an amazing 12 person relay team for the SoCal Ragnar in April 2014.  Today, I’m lucky enough to have found one of my soulmate bloggers (who will also be one of my Ragnar teammates), Carrie@FamilyFitnessFood give her story about how she went from recreational runner to Ragnar.

How To Run With The Big Kids

Hi everyone! I’m Carrie from Family Fitness Food.  I’m so happy that Melissa is letting me drop in on her little bloggy space today to share some thoughts with you.  I met Melissa back in June at Fitbloggin in the most random of circumstances – on the very last morning, we set out for a 5K run and we just happened to fall in step with each other.  I can’t believe we didn’t meet earlier in the weekend – it was like saving the best for last.

Something happens when you run with a person and discover so many shared interests – from running, to nutrition to parenting to living close to each other to even sharing similar religious beliefs.  You make a true friend in a very short amount of time. […]

I’m in NYC with very limited internet access so today’s post will be a brief one.  I’m lucky enough to have a great guest post from Carrie@FamilyFitnessFood on Wednesday and there is a very special Friday’s Featured Female coming at the end of this week so stay tuned!

On Thanksgiving, I’m running the Prospect Park 5M Turkey Trot that I’ve run for a few years in a row now and even though I haven’t been doing too much running lately, I’m a little excited (although it is FREEZING here in NYC).
