Afternoon Everyone!
Today I was up bright and early to meet Kath and friends for a 4.5 mile run!
I debated whether or not to test out my new sneakers as the forecast called for rain. In the end I decided to just wear them. No time like the present to break them in, right! Lucky for me it didn’t rain until about an hour or two after we finished. Phew!
JH came and met me at my place to join me in the run. She’s an honorary blogger 
We did a 1.5 mile warm-up run to meet up with the other bloggers.
Our lovely little running group:
JH, Me, Dori, Kath, Lisa, Caronae
Our route: 
Blogger run in action: 
The run itself was great. The weather wasn’t too chilly. Of course, being the graceful person I am, I managed to trip over a bench and take a major spill mid-run. 
I have the scrapes to prove it!:
Nice 
Don’t worry (ahem, mom and dad), it’s all polysporin-ed and bandaged up! I’m good as new 
Getting in some stretching post run: 
It was so nice to meet everyone! I was especially excited to meet Kath. Hers was the first Healthy Living blog I ever read. The fact that she changed career directions and decided to pursue her RD was definitely a key factor in me deciding to pursue mine, so I was thrilled to be able to talk with her about her dietetic internship/future plans.
Alright, enough with my gushing! I hope the we can do more NYC blog meet-ups! Maybe next time we can go for some food!
A couple people went to Starbucks for some snacks, but I just wanted to go home and crash So JH and I broke from the group and did a chilly and quick walk back.
On our way home:
JH and I went back to my place and did a bit more stretching and then BF and I went for a lovely brunch afterwards.
On deck for tonight: was considering going to a yoga class, but then decided I would rather go tomorrow (seeing as how I already ran 5 miles today )
I’m excited for the Golden Globes tonight! Are you watching?

Woman, how the heck did you manage to trip over that bench? Haha.. I find that awesome and confusing at the same time.
Geesh, I need to get my workout on. I’ve been slacking.

daintyvegan: we were all running very close to the benches in a big group and I happened to be the one closest to them and tripped over one of the bench legs and went flying!

[...] I completed my 7 miler yesterday! I asked on Twitter for some suggestions of where to run, got some good suggestions, but in the end decided to run on the esplanade, where we did the KERF blogger run. [...]
