Friday=NYRR Headquarters

It’s another Friday which means another trip up to New York Road Runners!

IMG_2722 (478x640) So far this year I’ve run 4 NYRR races (NYRR Mini 10K, Wall Street Run, NYRR 4 Miler, and the NYRR Gridiron 4 Miler.) In addition, I’m signed up for four more in the next few weeks. Needless to say, heading up to 89th street seems to be a normal Friday afternoon activity.

Tomorrow morning Bo and I are running the Front Runners New York Lesbian and Gay Pride run. I’ve heard many great things about the energy around tomorrow’s race so I can’t wait for the race, even though the 5 mile course is going to be tough! It includes both the Harlem Hills and Cat Hill!

Start at East 101st Street on East Drive; run north, counter-clockwise around the top loop of the park; south on West Drive; east across 72nd Street Transverse; north on East Drive and finish at East 102nd Street on East Drive.

Spending time in the NYRR headquarters, which is dressed in marathon advertisements from floor to ceiling, definitely got me pumped!

IMG_2721 (640x478) How adorable are these marathon advertisements?! I can’t believe that in only 134 days I’ll be running the marathon again!

When I got home, ready to collapse on the sofa with a glass of weekend wine and my Zensah calf sleeves, I was greeted by a pile of boxes.

IMG_2723 (640x478) I swear the best surprise is when packages show up that you’ve totally forgotten you ordered!

My first Forever 21 purchase which brought elation and excitement to my pre Miami mindset!

IMG_2718 (478x640) Maybe you’d rather see a real picture of the dress, when I’m not looking like a Scream poster.

IMG_2719 (478x640)Much better! This dress was $19.80 on Forever 21’s website and I am officially in love! It not only has a down to there front but also a full open back.

The rest of the boxes were filled with a new swimsuit, a maxi dress, and a Foodbuzz surprise!

Now, without further ado, I’m off to spend my night enjoying thin crust pizza and relaxing. Tomorrow is going to be filled with running, stretching, and celebrating!

Question: What is your favorite place to buy going out clothes?
