Inside The Brain of a Seasoned Runner

Since CA & I are on this awesome secret mission ;) I am turning over my Tough It Out Tuesday post to my amazing, colorful, running friend Gigi. She runs Running On Candy, and blogs about ALL of the runs she does, 5ks to Half Marathons, and has just begun her training for her first FULL Marathon (26.2 Miles). We are doing a Q&A for her post, since she is such a seasoned runner, it's ...

Not Every Run is a Race

This past weekend you saw that I did The Color Run, and this was the first run that I did, sleeveless. That might not seem like a big deal, but to me it is, cause my arms... are jiggly. There I said it, whew that was hard to admit to the internet. As you can see below after The Color Run, I was FULL of color, and if you actually pay attention to how my body actually looks... you see arm ...

Babbles on Tough it Out Tuesdays

Ever since going to the gym and starting to lift weights, all of the myths that I've been told about women lifting weights, have vanished. I used to think you were suppose to lose the fat you had on your body before gaining muscle. After having my three training sessions I fell in LOVE with lifting. I feel strong, powerful, and able to conquer anything (well almost anything). Will the power ... Read the Post

Why That “Number” Doesn’t Mean That Much

I’m sure if you are losing weight, have lost weight, or are maintaining your current weight you have heard or seen probably every “number” situation. That losing weight is all numbers from counting calories to macros or that stupid number on the scale or the amount of inches you lose. You’d think it’s ALL numbers, that it’s the ONLY way to lose weight by playing the number game. Maybe numbers ... Read the Post

Last weekend was probably one of the most relaxing Last weekend was probably one of the most relaxing times in NYC. CA completed his 11th half marathon, with a new PR! Since he left early Sunday, I was able to enjoy the comforts of our hotel room while he started. Luckily, staying downtown meant I avoided most of the traffic when I saw him cross the finish line in Central Park! ⁣
⁣
The @millenniumdowntownnyc was the perfect spot for a low key weekend. With plenty of restaurants & bars close by, plus the great bar in the hotel lobby, you didn’t need to go far for food. CA was even able to grab us breakfast before he left for Brooklyn at Stage Door Deli. ⁣
⁣
We were also located right across the street from the World Trade Center, with the Oculus, Freedom Tower, 9/11 Museum & the Reflecting Pools just steps from the front of the hotel. We’ve been up to One World Observatory before and it is a gorgeous sight! I highly recommend you take the guided tour; it adds so much to the experience. ⁣
⁣
There’s so much to see and do, and with the weather warming up, it’s the best time to head to the Big Apple 🍎 and explore! ⁣
⁣
📍 55 Church St, New York, New York, 10007⁣

Have you seen the meme of - everyone has that frie Have you seen the meme of - everyone has that friend that says… ‘we can walk there’… and it’s like 4 miles away? That is my husband LOL. No joke, unless we’re going in for a game or event, we have established a rule. It’s a 20 minute walk rule, obviously with google maps or city mapper, we can see how far a destination is from where our start point is. Which is why the location of where you’re staying can be so important, especially while in NYC. ⁣
⁣
⁣
When we stayed at @westhouseny we were located in Midtown, which is probably one of my favorite areas to stay. Besides being only 4 blocks away from Central Park, there is also Carnegie Hall around the corner (quite literally), a cute diner and pubs down the street, a taco spot across the street. ⁣
⁣
Beyond this are proximity, here are some different things to do with a 20 minute walking distance:⁣
The Modern Museum of Art ⁣
Rockefeller Center⁣
Top of the Rock ^ within Rockefeller Center ⁣
St Patrick’s Cathedral⁣
Radio City Music Hall ⁣
Skyscape (this is down the block from the hotel) ⁣
Times Square ⁣
Bryant Park ⁣
⁣
If it’s not within a walking distance, there’s a NQR Subway stop right outside the doors that’ll get you anywhere you want to go! If you’re unsure about the subway system (I need all the help trust me lol), we use the app CityMapper, which is so essential. It shows you what corner you should enter and exit, and even what part of the subway car you should get in to shorten your walking. ⁣
⁣
✨ What is one of the other essential points you look for when you book a hotel?⁣

The weekend before Valentine’s Day we stayed at The weekend before Valentine’s Day we stayed at the amazing @westhouseny! We wanted to do a low key weekend but also a lot of fun!⁣
⁣
We arrived late Friday night & then Saturday we adventured all day! ⁣
⁣
Gustav Klimt: Gold in Motion - a gorgeous showcase of art all in digital form. Located in an old bank, it plays on a loop, restarting at the top of each hour. ⁣
⁣
Museum of Modern Art - the MoMA! Neither of us have ever been here, and I was super excited to go! We only had a few hours but oh my goodness! You could stay here for days! ⁣
✨ Bonus the MoMA is a short 5 minute walk from West House Hotel. You can either start or end your day here! ⁣
⁣
Oscar Wilde- a Victorian Style Bistro with a gorgeous marble bar. It was decorated for Lunar New Year, provided a cozy feel and offered many different drinks on the menu! ⁣
⁣
Osteria Morni - my favorite restaurant in NYC. It’s a gorgeous Italian restaurant, with an extensive wine list, delicious appetizers, fantastic entrees & decadent desserts. I recommend the burrata for the app & tiramisu for dessert!⁣
⁣
West House Hotel - after a full day out, kick back & relax back at the hotel. There’s a beautiful Den in the lobby that features sofas & seats for you to read a book. Our hotel room was spacious, with a comfy king size bed & a great view of the bustling city below! ⁣
⁣
Wake up and smell the coffee and delicious food served at The Terrace. It is breakfast served buffet style, with waffles, eggs, bacon, yogurt, and so much more! You can enjoy your meal there, or in your room before heading out for the day! ⁣
⁣
⁣
✨ Staying at the West House Hotel was also perfect for @liveliketheflash to do his Saturday morning run on the Hudson and through Central Park. ⁣
⁣
The warmer weather is quickly approaching so if you’re looking for a great hotel, look no further. This spot is in a great location that’s  not too touristy, but close enough to plenty of attractions. Plus, having a subway stop right outside its doors is a HUGE perk!⁣
⁣
⁣
✨ Have you ever stayed in NYC? Are you planning another trip to the Big Apple 🍎?⁣
