Way to go! You can totally do a half marathon in February. They're super-fun and you meet some awesome people when doing road races.

I took two days off running (so my legs could have a bit more...

Thanks for the good suggestion. I bought the book and I cannot wait to start the diet. I'm fit and run a decent amount, and I'm hoping this will help me with my knee and ankle issues (as well as...

Check out my previous post about leasing the Hyundai Elantra. I wanted as cheap of a car as possible, and the Elantra was a great deal. It might seem like a bit more upfront, but over the long-term...

I was in the same situation a few months ago, and I ended up leasing a new Hyundai Elantra. All this after I promised myself that I would never drive a new car (I'm an accountant, after all).

I did this trail ride, which was a lot of fun. The vineyard is right off Rt 66, so it's a straight shot from DC.

If you can, try to find out which airline(s) "own" the route that you'll be flying. I had 3 "business trips" when I was going to school in Boston and had interviews in DC. In my case, JetBlue was...

I bought a pair of Vibram FiveFingers after reading about barefoot running in Born to Run. They're great but you need to slowly build up time in them. These days I won't run more than 3 or 4 miles...

Thank you so much for the head's up! :) I just bought the groupon for an intermediate lesson. I can't get into horses that much due to my job, but it's nice to have a lesson every now and then :yes:

Bridesmaids was hilarious! My mom and I were laughing so hard during the movie. The ending was really nice though, and there was a good moral to the story :)

I have two interviews one day after another, and both are in completely different states. I'm pretty excited about the first interview, and the second interview seems fun too. The only stressful...

I've been at the bar watching the past few games. There's nothing like being in Boston when one of the teams is playing for the championship :)

On a side note, it seemed like most Boston sports...

I'm going to my first Red Sox game today (for free!), and I can't wait to see Fenway. I love the area surrounding it- so many good bars and quite a few T stops.

As for the whole living situation- never rule *anything* out. I was nervous sharing a house with three other grad students, but it turned out to be one of the best decisions of my life. We all...

Totally agree about their cannolis!! Another good place to check out for food is KO Catering and Pies in Southie. The have the best meat pies, and it's super cheap. You can't go wrong with...

I graduated with a BA in Economics, but now I'm getting my Masters in Accounting. Econ was a good base, but I always loved accounting. After my program is done, I'll start studying for the CPA...

That's so cute about the basset hound. My mom was lamenting that she didn't have anyone to celebrate Easter with, now that she and my dad are empty-nesters. They do have the family dog, a sweet but...

I let two of my housemates know that an "animal" had come into the house and left it's "mark". Unfortunately, the third housemate was home, and he caught me red-handed. Who doesn't love discovering...

I was chatting with a friendly cab driver in Sydney when a rock was thrown into the car from an overpass. Everything was perfect- I was in the backseat, the drivers side window was open, and the...

Does anyone else use dailymile.com? I find that it's a great way to track my workouts (and it motivates me too!) :)

Yay runners! I recently did my first 5K of the season (an embarrassingly slow 32 minutes). I'm aiming to do a 10K in June. My longest run has been 7.3 miles, so I'm steadily progressing. I'm...

Ditto to that. I'm a grad student at BC, and I pretty much gave up any hope that I had of riding in Boston. I don't have a car and there are no barns that are accessible by public transport. But,...

I'm currently living off student loans for graduate school. It can be hard at times, but it's doable. I borrow the maximum amount I can under Uncle Sam (Graduate PLUS loans as well as other loans)....

There's some great advice on guys from this thread. I might also recommend the book Why Men Love Bitches. It will give you great insight into the male species :)

I flew back early from a job interview in another city so I could volunteer at a food bank today in Boston. I somewhat enjoyed sorting the food, although it got a bit tedious at times. My graduate...

I rode with Mike a while ago and learned a lot. My leg got really strong and I got secure over fences. Overall it was a great barn, well-managed, nice school horses, and relatively low drama. ...
