NYRR YPC National Running Day Celebration

Did you catch last night’s post about the emotional side of long runs?  I’ve received some warm emails, tweets, and comments about this post and it’s so exciting. Last night I felt like my fingers took over. 🙂

Today I read about the National Running Day Celebration on Jesse’s blog!  The NYRR National Running Day Celebration is on June 2nd, 2010. I think this could be a great chance for a few of us NYC bloggers to hang out also enjoying a great run, fun people, and donating money to a great cause.

The event begins at 6:30pm on June 2nd at 81st street in Central Park. The fun starts with a fun run through the Park followed by a social at the Gin Mill complete with appetizers, raffle, and cash bar. Tickets are $20 and all proceeds go towards the NYRR Youth Programs which benefit over 100,000 underserved children weekly!

NYRR Invite

Let me know if you’re interested in participating in this event! I’ll send an email around to everyone this weekend who is interested and we can all meet up before hand!

Piles of Cardboard+Paper+Ten Hours of Work= Exhaustion

This morning Bo and I woke up bright and early ready to take on the day of unpacking and moving in. We wanted to get as much done today as possible since tomorrow will include a few hours of celebration in the morning. We’re going to Forefront Church with Lauren and Casey before a birthday brunch to celebrate Lauren’s 26th birthday. We headed over to Starbucks for coffee and breakfast since our fridge was basically empty.
After this short but gorgeous walk our day consisted of 10 hours straight of unpacking boxes, breaking them down, recycling the paper filling each box, figuring out our apartment layout, and random trips to Bed, Bath and Beyond and the Container Store.
These are the only pictures I have thus far since I can’t find my camera cord in the mess. I’ll leave you with this exciting note though. My two favorite things about the apartment are at either end of our 710 square foot home; a 80 sq foot walk in closet with California Closet design and shelving and a HUGE walk in pantry also equipped with California Closet shelving! I’m in heaven after not having a pantry for the last year!
I’m so excited for this walk in closet! I even have a shelf for my yoga mat, weights, band, and DVDs!
Hope everyone had a lovely Saturday and good luck to all the ladies running the MORE Half Marathon tomorrow in Central Park. Melissa and I ran this together last year and sweated through the 13.1 miles since it was humid and over 85 degrees! At least this year promises to be cooler. 🙂
Bo and I are curling up on the sofa with an easy dinner and the first episode of Treme. Has anyone watched it?

What I’m Wearing Today

My friend Grace features this daily on her blog and thought it would make a fun addition! 🙂 Enjoy! I primarily wear Banana Republic and JCrew pieces to work each day as they pair perfectly, are functional, and have really improved their style ante over the past few years. If you’re looking for a deal JCrew has one of the best outlets I’ve visited, outside of Kate Spade and Theory. Don’t forget to enter my Yoplait giveaway! I’ll pick a winner tomorrow morning!
