Caitlin’s Body, Inc.
ATTN: Monsieur L’estomac
New York, NY
To Whom It May Concern:
This mutinous state I’ve found you in the past 4 days upon waking up in the morning (and even some hours prior to the dreaded alarm clock) is unacceptable. I must request that you please just “play nice” until I can go see my doctor. Until then, in an effort to appease you and...

Are you psychic?! My sister and I used to do that very thing… We have the home videos to prove it.
(I’m also fairly certain that my parents Santa just saw this gift as a way to get us to forget how desperately we wanted a real dog for a few months.)

"These Are A Few Of My Favorite Things" Thursday
Lana Del Rey’s Born To Die: I really like this album. It took me a few listens to really get into it, but now it’s on heavy rotation while I’m busying myself at work, or around the apartment, or on the train… You get the picture.
Memory Foam Mattress Topper: My new bed was a magnificent (and extremely necessary) addition to the apartment, but this memory foam topper I...

And Just Like That, Birthday Weekend Is Upon Us...
I’m having the hardest time focusing today at work. Tonight, my birthday weekend kicks off with the arrival of two of my most favorite blondes! Woo and J-June both arrive in NYC from their respective Midwestern cities around 9:00 and then the fun begins! A long weekend provides us plenty of opportunity to get into some trouble good clean fun.

These little town blues are melting away...
Tonight one of my college roomies, fellow ADPi and E-board sister/member, a fellow Tumblr runner, and brand new NYC resident and I got together for dinner.
It was an incredible evening filled with Founders beer (I found a secret stash in NYC — tag Bells, you’re it!), fajitas, talk of running and Umich, and lots of catching up and observations about the transition from Midwestern/West...

Running Social Worker: Yes, I'm still here →
SO EXCITED that Reb is in NYC now! After a hectic day I’m really looking forward to making some dinner and catching up with her and hopefully arranging some Fifth Third RBR training runs! It will be so nice to have such a good friend around more often! Now, if I could just get out of here at a decent time…

Sorry, I haven’t written in a while. Things have been...

Fill In The Blank Friday...
1. I started my blog because I wanted to start running seriously and it seemed like a good way to keep myself accountable. It also allowed me to fill my family and friends in on my day-to-day life in New York City.
2. One thing I love seeing on other blogs pictures. Especially of the “every day life” variety. Sometimes a picture can say what words can’t.
3. Something I love about blogging...

Because all of this is spot on…
runlikeella:
Remember when I went on that whole Oprah rant about how it’s okay to feel pretty? In the past few days, I’ve realized that there’s a completely different side to that, too: what happens when someone else calls you pretty. It’s one thing to look in the mirror and own it on any given day; it’s…

"These Are A Few Of My Favorite Things" Thursday
Downton Abbey: I love this show… I heard a lot about this show on twitter (@pattonoswalt is a diehard fan) and when I discovered that season 1 was on Netflix Instant Streaming I dove right in and never looked back. Because I don’t have cable (yeah, you read that correctly) I succeeded in watching season 1 in its entirety (about 7 episodes) in a weekend while getting a start on the...

Riding the struggle bus today… Sickly Caitlin is sickly.
Yesterday morning I noticed I was a bit sniffly and throughout the day I got progressively more sniffly until last night. Last night it became a full-blown head cold complete with terrible sinus pressure and the inability to breathe out of my poor congested nose. (Oooh, mouth breathing - sexyyyyy.)
After a fitful night of sleep I...

M-M-Manhattan Hot Chocolate 10k - New PR!
After some issues with my Garmin, I finally have yesterday’s PR 10k race uploaded…
The morning was chilly. I usually make sure to have my bib and everything pre-race to avoid the hassle of getting it taken care of on race day. (One less thing to worry about a few more minutes of sleep.) This race though, I wasn’t able to make it to the 3 hour pick-up window on Friday so I...

Super Bowl Sunday
It’s my favorite holiday again! The one day each year* that it is socially acceptable to eat all the things and drink all the beers while watching all the footballs.
I didn’t get to run the NYRR Gridiron Classic this year because I’m a bum and waited too long to register, but I’m still really excited about the rest of today’s festivities. A very welcome addition to...

Fill In The Blank Friday...
1. If money wasn’t an issue, the first thing I’d cross off my life list is getting out of debt *shakes fist at student loans* and going back to school full time to start/finish this nursing degree once and for all.
2. Brussels sprouts is/are something I like that other people think is weird. (Note: It’s not actually that weird, but I really like Brussels sprouts, so that’s...

February Photo-A-Day...
Because I’m a sucker for photos and so many other people are doing it (if all of your friends jumped off a bridge, would you?), I thought I would play along.
Stay tuned…
