After Wednesday’s Soulcycle class, I didn’t think I could move anymore. Everything in my body was sore, including random places, like my obliques muscles, some back muscles, thigh muscles, and definitely my shoulders. Yesterday we did Flybarre at Flywheel and I had done my research about this place, so I was excited to go, but […]
I must admit, cycling/spinning is not my thing. I remember taking one spin class a long time ago, the left me trembling right out of my seat and running to the bathroom to throw up. After that I never went back. Lol. I guess I wasn’t in the best shape back then or I must’ve […]
What a way to start a week than by taking a Bootcamp class. On Monday, a group of #NTCFit ladies got the chance an awesome full body HIIT (High-Intensity Interval Training) class at Barry’s Bootcamp in TriBeCa. This phenomenal class was the first of the N+TC Week classes. This was my first time attending Barry’s […]
Motivation is key when starting a fresh new year. This year, I will continue my fitness and running journey, and I’m trying to stay more motivated than ever. But I must say, for those days when I lack motivation, I find motivation by using the Nike+ Training Club and the Nike+ Running apps both on my iPhone, also […]
Every year we tell ourselves, this year: I will join the gym I will workout more I will run more or start running Most of us start, not many of us finish or follow through. For 2014, I will continue my journey to be strong, fit, healthy and toned, for I know that these will help […]

I love Nike Tights. I love their prints, their look, the comfort and the attention they get when I take them out for a workout or nice run. The best thing is the feeling you get by looking good in your fresh new tights. Below is a look back at the Nike Women’s Tight-of-the-Moment tights […]
When Nike has an event, you can expect it to be really amazing, and definitely not to be missed. When I received the above invitation, I knew this would be epic and I wouldn’t want to miss it, even if it was -7 celcius, 19 farenheit. I also wanted to invite ALL my girls, but […]

A few weeks ago I got the chance to run and complete my first marathon. As some of you may know from following my running journey, I started running earlier this year and to-date I’ve ran several races including two half marathons and one full marathon. Prior to starting my running journey, I’ve always heard amazing […]
This past Friday, October 25th, 2013 I had the pleasure of attending an awesome charity event that I never miss. Now on its 4th year, Kerry Yanique’s Shop Sip and De-Stress for Breast Cancer awareness was better than ever. The event was held at The Brass Monkey in The Copper Room a nice bar/pub in […]
So this is what 20 (miles) feels like… Alas, I’ve reached the longest run of my marathon training plan. It’s been a long journey to 20 miles, lots of ups and downs, lots of random injuries and annoying pain here and there, but 20 miles arrived this weekend and here’s my experience. When I signed […]
Last week I mentioned on Twitter about this new great product I’ve been trying for a few weeks now, EnergyBits. I promised you all that I would share more information about it on the blog, so here it is… It’s hard to describe how great this product is, without sounding like an informercial, which is […]
You’ve probably seen these at your local drugstores, and like me probably wondered, what are these? I have yet to try them, but I know I will soon, maybe after my long run this weekend. One thing for sure, I love the packaging and colors. I also love that they come in awesome flavors. Ok, […]
A while ago, I mentioned on Twitter that I was trying out this baked chicken recipe and if the chicken came out good I would share with you all the recipe. Well the chicken did come out good, I failed to take a picture, but trust me it looked just like the image above. I’ll share […]
I’m currently reading this interesting book/memoir called What I Talk About When I Talk About Running by Haruki Murakami. The quote below really spoke to me and I had to share it: “…a person doesn’t become a runner because someone recommends it. People basically become runners because they’re meant to.” (-Murakami, pg. 44) At […]
If you’ve been following some of my other social media accounts, you’ll know by now that I am currently training for my first marathon. No, I am not running ING NYC Marathon in November. Instead, I will be joining some of my favorite runners and we will be running the Nike Women’s Marathon in San […]
Running is a solo sport. But there are times when you just need a friend. The Oakley Mini 10k took place this past weekend. This was a women’s only 10k run around Central Park. This was also my first race in which I ran by myself. Originally I had planned to run this race […]
A few weeks ago, I completed my very first Half Marathon (13.1 miles, 21 kilometers), at the Brooklyn Half. I steadily trained for a good 6-8 weeks (originally it would have been 12 weeks of training, but I had to cut my weeks short because of minor injuries, and last minute race registration). The day […]
In the previous post I told you about how I got past my comfort runs, those runs that we keep doing on replay because that’s all we think we are capable of doing. Mine were anything under 3 miles. I was on 1 to 2 miles for at least a good year or so. In this […]
