Last round of pictures from NYC!!!

Hope you are having the best Friday ever!  I started off the day with a 10 mile run @ a 10 minute per mile pace.  There is a pump class I really want to take and so I wanted to do my long run today instead.   Now I am at a swim park with my sis and her kiddos so this post is mainly just random pictures from the rest of my trip to NYC!!!  PS I am probably more excited about the swim park than my nieces and nephew are…they are my favorite.

Instagram rocks.  PS My username is janaenia if you want to be friends!

If you have a full length mirror in your hotel room you simply must take a picture of yourself.

I only caught a picture of the last of it but there were a million police cars/motorcycles, black suv’s, security cars that passed right in front of us yesterday when we were walking to the hotel.  Later I heard that the president was in town….hmmmmmm maybe he looked out the window at the right moment and saw us:)

My beautiful dinner on the plane last night.  Burger King was the only option in my terminal and I was already late but their chicken sandwich was actually REALLY good.  Please remember I do not have high standards for food.

Yogurt parfaits are pretty darn delicious too.

You have me drooling – nothing beat authentic NYC bagels! So jealous!

I KNOW….I crave them all of the time. Hope you have an amazing night Caroline!

Ahhh those bagels DO look SO good!! YUMM. I wish I were at a swim park right now…instead of working. Hah.

And yes, long runs tend to be on Tue, since I have a bit longer morning time. Woot. Have a good weekend!!

Tell your boss that you need a day off to go to the swim park! TUESDAY…that is awesome!

mmm I love bagels….I have einsteins right across the street from me and I’m tempted to go and get one now but I feel like I will only be disappointed :(

I usually only do long runs on Fridays if I’m going out of town for the weekend and know that I probably won’t be able/want to do a long run when I’m on vacation.

I honestly don’t even remember the last fast food joint I ate at…it definitely doesn’t happen very happen!

Reply

ACROSS the street from you? I would be over there everyday! Did you get a bagel?

Reply

My long runs are usually on the weekends, but depending on if I have a race, I might mix it up a little.

Last fast food I ate was Runza…

I am seriously jealous of those bagels.

Reply

Runza…I have never heard of that, I am going to have to google it. Hope you have an amazing weekend Renee!

I “friended” you on Instagram :)
When I did long runs they were always on Sunday mornings.
We have a indoor swim park here and waterslides about 20 mins away but I have not been in years!
Probably Subway? I cannot remember though.

YAY FOR INSTAGRAM FRIENDS!! Indoor swim park..that is brilliant! I might have to come visit you and we can go together.

Reply

If I can, I definitely do my long runs/hardest workouts on Friday! Saturday is my rest day… So much easier to work harder when you Know you get a break the next day!

Reply

Really…that is such a great idea. I might have to copy you Madison because I am loving feeling like I already got my hard day out of the way and tomorrow is going to be a lot easier. You are brilliant!

We have a huge water park near us! I haven’t been yet because I’m a little freaked out by it but the boyfriend keeps begging to go, ha.

I ate Starbucks this morning. Got the spinach and egg wrap, so good!

When I was training for my half marathon through the winter I had to move some of my runs around when we got 3 ft of snow!!

Reply

I think that you need to go to the water park with your boyfriend! 3 ft of snow, I can’t even imagine. I really want to try out that egg wrap from Starbucks!

Reply

I’m glad you had fun! I used to do long runs on Fridays when I didn’t have class that day, but now I go on Saturday because that’s when my training group goes (and I work on Friday!).

Reply

I love that you have a training group, can I join?

Reply

haha you can! It’s the Chicago Area Runners Association, I’m doing their summer marathon training program!

Reply

Those are great signs for the gym!
I LOVE outdoor waterparks. Sadly, I haven’t been to one in years. We have an awesome indoor waterpark in our mall. Maybe I should make my husband to with me this year for my birthday!

Reply

I just got home from the most absolutely cutest splash park ever in Alpine. I went up there with Kali and my cutest ever grandson, Miles. What a fun place!

Reply

I didn’t know they had one up there…I am going to have to take the kiddos. PS Miles is the cutest name ever. How is Kali feeling?

Reply

I am coming to stalk, I mean friend, you on Instagram! yay!

Reply

AHHH WAHOO!! I want to find you!

Reply

About a mile from our house is Splash Montana. I am in love with the lazy river!

Reply

A mile away…please tell me you have a seasons pass.

Last fast food place … I guess Chipotle? If it’s considered fast food. So yummy!

Glad you had such an awesome time in NYC … and glad that you got yourself some bagels! ;)

Reply

I wish so bad we had a Chipotle close by, that place is incredible!

Reply

Last year I did all my long runs on weekends, but this year, since I am teaching Pilates and my schedule varies, I can do long runs on weekdays! HOORAY! I ran 11 miles yesterday and felt great!

The President WAS in NYC and it was because he was having dinner at Sarah Jessica Parker’s house for a fundraiser for his campaign! It’s becoming very clear to me that I read way too much celebrity gossip. :)

Reply

AWESOME job on your 11 miles yesterday. You are incredible. Girl, you’ve got to keep me updated about all of this celebrity gossip…I had no idea ha!

Reply

When I heard he was coming into town I qiuckly jetted out of town! You’re lucky you had no plane delays bc of him! They restrict airspace when he flies (which always messes up work traveling for me). Bitter much? I know…

I bet you’re glad to be home!! Enjoy the sun.

And you’re looking like you’re shaping up to be on hot mamma!

Reply

YOU ARE SMART!! We actually were delayed an hour! My brother is a pilot and he always gets frustrated by the plane delays because of him:(

Thanks so much for your sweet words and next time I am there you better not leave!

Reply

DH and I were going on a cruise on a Friday and did our long run that morning. We usually have to take turns with our long runs because of the crumb snatchers. Can’t leave em’ running around the house by themselves.

Reply

Last fast food I had was Burger King when I visited my brother in Virgina. I also had the chicken sandwich, and it really is good!! And I do have high standards for food (or I like to think so, lol) so it honesty is good!

Reply

Great minds think alike! Good to know someone with real tastebuds liked it too ha! Hope you have an amazing weekend Liz!

Reply

Hi, I looked at Sarah’s site, but didn’t find anything. Does she sell her super cute running skirts? Thanks, Amy

Reply

HEY AMY!!! I am so sorry, I should have included the link. Here it is and have a great day!

Yay! Thanks! A little shorter than I like, but will make great gifts. :)

Reply

I love long runs during week during the day because it’s so quiet out! Not as crazy as Saturday mornings in the park :)

Reply

You are a smart smart woman. Good thinking! This way you get to relax on the weekends too right:)

Reply

I’m glad that you got your NY bagels. They are THE best. :)

Reply

I KNOW…I think I would have gone crazy if I didn’t get them….it was all I could think about ha!

Reply

Those bagels look so yummy :) I normally do my long run on Saturdays, but Tuesdays and Thursday are longer days too (10 miles).

The closest water park is over an hour away. I love water slides! My family use to go a few times every summer when I was young.

I can’t wait to add you as a friend on Instagram!

Reply

I think you should go back to that water park asap and go on some water slides:) Dang, 10 miles on Tuesdays AND Thursdays, you are hardcore.

Reply

No swim parks here. Just one public outdoor pool, but I’ve never been to it. Our Y has a really nice indoor pool. My girls swim there a lot. There is a water slide at one of the lakes here, but my daughter said it is lame. (She went with her school earlier this week.)

Last fast food I had was a veggie bowl at Chipotle. Does that count? Either way, I love it so!!

Those bagels look amazing! I am trying to avoid them. I buy a bag of them baked at a local bakery and I cannot make myself stop eating them! It’s a problem.

Reply

YUM…I want a veggie bowl from Chipotle right this second. Do not avoid bagels, they are way too good to avoid. Boo to the lame water slide at the Y!

Reply

Could you be any cuter!? Love that dress- you look adorable!! & jealous of the NYC trip mainly because you went there & not to FL. Can you promise to make it to FL next time??? Please! I promise to feed you lots of frozen yogurt, bagels, and steak!!

Reply

You really are so sweet. I PROMISE YOU THAT FLORIDA WILL BE MY NEXT STOP. We would have the best time ever. Hope you are feeling great and going to get lots of rest this weekend!

Reply

I do mine on Saturday’s, but I used to run Friday mornings. I always ended up pushing the day to the next because I was lazy and wanted sleep.

Reply

Now that I’m off for the summer I love that I can do long runs any day of the week…my teacher friend and I went for a long one last Thursday to celebrate the first day of freedom. :)

Your pictures really make me miss NYC! Looks like you had a great time!

Reply

I always used to do my long runs on Monday mornings- such a great way to kickstart my week!

Reply

Janae, your hair looks so cute in your hotel picture!

Reply

Do you ever do your long runs on Fridays or another weekday?
On says when I’m off work at 2pm I can sometimes sneak in a long run. I love those days!

Do you have swim parks near you? Are you a fan of water slides?
I LOVE water slides! I’m not sure what’s near me in LA, but now I can’t wait to look it up!

Last fast food joint you ate at?
Probably a veggie burger from Astro Burger. So good!

P.S. – Janae, I have to say I’m so impressed with you running 10 miles with a baby on board. I hope I am the same way when I’m pregnant someday! You go girl! :)

Reply

Thats way rad about the camera in your hotel room. Which hotel were you staying at?

I usually always do my long runs on Sat. I am a creature of habit and I feel guilty about lounging the rest of the day away if its a work day ;)

No water parks and last food joint that was more “fast food” type would have to be two boots.

Reply

Janae! You stayed at the Ace. We just were there in April and thought it was the coolest hotel.

Hope you all are well. We are getting ready for a big move to Paris!

how can we live our life freely?i dont hink i can do it wihoutt think “should i? did i have to?”life is stressful, and thoughtful too.

Reply

What hotel did you stay at? It looks awesome.

I wish I was at a water park right now!

Reply

We don’t really have any swim parks close by, but I do love them! Wearing contacts can put a damper on water slides, but I still love them anyway! I really love the ones you can go down in tubes.

I love that picture of you! You look fabulous! I’m going to follow you this very minute on instagram!

Reply

That hotel room looks awesome! I hope you took some Polaroids :)
I almost always do my long runs on weekdays because I’m a wedding photographer, so I’m busy almost every weekend. That’s one of the big perks of working for myself- weekday scheduling flexibility!
I think your family should plan a trip to my neck of the woods- Wisconsin is AWESOME! Plus, about an hour south of where I live is THE WATERPARK CAPITAL OF THE WORLD. Google it. You’d love it here! :)

NYC BAGELS!!!!! Did you freeze any??

This website was… how do I say it? Relevant!! Finally I have found something which helped me.

Many thanks!
