What an amazing, amazing day, and what a perfect start to spring! I started the day at a delicious market 2 blocks from my apartment. I would have made breakfast but I was in such a hurry to get on the train and start my journey I decided to pick up a sandwich and eat [...]

It’s sunny, it’s beautiful, it’s warm and I am picking up my brand new bike today!! (note the high of 73!!!) I have to head all the way to Queens to get it, but it’s totally worth the schlep and I plan to have the wind in my hair by 1pm at the latest! No [...]

Hope everyone had a really happy Saint Patricks day filled with good friends and delicious food! I’ve been so busy at work it was hard for me to squeeze in anything at all. Next week I’ll head to my parents house for Passover for a much needed break. I can’t say how much I’m looking [...]

Yesterday was a torrential, soggy, windy mess and I decided it was best to postpone picking up my new bike until next week. The winds were whipping at 40+ mph and broken umbrellas littered the streets of the city.  It was all I could do to head to midtown and exchange a bag I had [...]

Today I’m supposed to go pick up my brand new beautiful road bike. It’s at the shop, ready and waiting for me and has been for days. I have everything I need go grab it – the nice already broken in seat off my old bike and the awesome clipless pedals. All extracted, bagged up [...]

You want to know a sad sight? A box full of microwave single serve popcorn when you just blew up the darned microwave. What a bummer. Alanis Morrisette might call it ironic, but I think it’s just bad freakin luck. Ah well. As you may have guessed it has been an action packed fun filled [...]

I’m starting my day out healthy this morning with some “kind of baked” oatmeal. I say “kind of,” because I’m starting with overnight oats, which are technically already cooked. I just happen to have, ahem,  blown up the microwave last week (shhh) so I’m back to heating everything the old fashioned way again, which I [...]

One of my favorite things about cycling, running, yoga and being active in general is meeting other people that also feel passionate about such things. I mean it’s one thing to ride a bike to the beach on a warm summer weekend morning, but it is exponentially better to do it with some friends. The [...]

Today I’ve got some really awesome news and some not so awesome news. First off, the awesome: I found my new bike!! Beautiful huh? I searched far and wide and for quite some time, but it was only with the help of friends that I found exactly what I was looking for. It’s a Trek [...]

So I seem to have gotten real busy living all of a sudden. This is not a bad thing! Between the usual yoga and spin classes 3-4 times a week, and now regular outings on the town with friends I find fewer and fewer evenings are spent relaxing at home.  I’m enjoying the social time [...]
