I’m taking you with me for a full NYC day that’s basically me trying to balance everything at once—SoHo plans, half marathon training, and a bunch of real-life updates in between. I start the day super slow (late start, leftover pho + kimchi) and give you the honest rundown on training: I’m about a month in, I recently ran a 5K, and I just hit my longest run ever—five miles—literally fighting for my life on the treadmill. I’ve dealt with shin splints before, so I’m really trying to build endurance without ignoring pain. I also share a big life update: we’re selling our car. We went to CarMax, spent two hours between cleaning it out and driving there, and then found out we still have to come back on a weekday because they need Toyota’s payoff info. Annoying, but we’re still going through with it because the monthly costs add up and we’d rather pocket the money and rent a car only when we need one. After the city, I show a quick Trader Joe’s haul (my favorite Waldorf salad, frozen orange chicken for busy work nights, fruit, veggies) and the energy gels I picked up for longer runs. I end the vlog with a recovery run that did not go as planned—my shins started hurting badly around 1.5 miles, so I stopped, stretched, and chose to listen to my body because I’m not risking an injury after paying for this race.
