My daily adventures in striving for a healthy, happier life in New York City are chronicled on this blog. I started the blog in April 2009 as a place to chronicle the training for my first marathon, 2010 ING NYC Marathon. Since then, the blog has evolved into a place where I share my attempts to find balance in the “city that never sleeps” as I balance corporate life with the roles of wife, friend, workout partner, and blogger.
I attribute this blog to helping me find balance and sanity in my everyday life and introducing me to amazing friends and role models both in New York City and across the country.

I love to travel and run, a lot! My favorite race recaps and travel posts are below, but feel free to check out the rest on my race recap and travel page. In addition, I promise I haven’t always been a runner. You can read my journey to running and health here.

Some of my more popular posts are my most personal including Confessions of a Real Person and A Few Positive Changes.

In addition to running and traveling, my husband and I love to cook together so you’ll find an average of one recipe each week. I realize that not everyone enjoys spending hours in the kitchen so I try to include both beginner and intermediate recipes focused around local and in season foods.
