A few months ago my friend Vanessa invited me to a boxing class with her at Overthrow. She sent me a link to sign up for a free month of Class Pass so I could join her. I did not plan to keep up a membership but I'm totally hooked. I love Class Pass, if you'd like … Continue reading Class Pass
On April 29th I got back into the 5k game with the Run for the Wild 5k at the Bronx Zoo! With 5,197 participants this race was pretty huge. It was amazing to see such a turn out to support The Wildlife Conservation Society! Personally I cannot imagine trying to organize an event for that … Continue reading Run for the Wild 5k

This race was amazing! I physically felt better than I have in most races. This is the first one I have not cried at the finish. I did end up with a bit of a bug after the weekend.
