Are sodas over 16 ounces banned in New York City or not? Large sugary drinks' days were numbered until yesterday when a state supreme court judge overturned the ban that was supposed to go into effect today. I've been known to guzzle large amounts of Coke during long, hot bike rides, so I can't say I was totally against the ban.
Heading out with SJ.I only allowed myself to be in a few pictures the whole time I was pregnant. No matter how hard I tried, I just couldn't be the girl that rocks her bump in a tight outfit. I felt like an uncoordinated, non-athletic, Thanksgiving Day parade balloon and I didn't enjoy it.
Whelp, my first post-baby “race” is in the books. I use that term lightly since I definitely did not compete, but it was an organized event with timing chips, a registration fee, an awards ceremony, etc. So yeah, it was a race, but I did not race. Nor was I planning to. I realize now more than ever that getting back comes in quite a few stages.
Laurel and Justin (our pro triathlete training partner) left Monday morning for a cross country drive from NYC to LA. On day one, Laurel texted a photo of their first roadside picnic.

Here I am, five weeks after our little Nell's arrival and exactly nine weeks from the Nike Women's Half Marathon in DC. To say I'm anxious about the latter is an understatement.
Laurel checked out of New York for a few weeks to attend coach Cliff English's training camp in Tucson and I'm really missing her daily visits. Yesterday we caught up and she filled me in on her workouts, her new training partners and the latest happenings in the desert
