For years, I have been curious to check out the super-fancy Reebok Sports Club/NY, which is up by Lincoln Center and (according to my sources) takes up six floors of space for an indoor pool, full-scale rock wall and a spa.

I recently headed into NYC for an adidas event for an unveiling that promised to change running as we know it. I figured if anything could make me like running, an adidas event in the Big Apple was as likely as any other. Plus, it was a rare case when the childcare and cool-NYC-events stars [...]

Being a New York City contributor for Fit Bottomed Girls has its advantages, like getting to attend really fun events like the one hosted by Lärabar at the Trapeze School of New York (TSNY), which was the same school featured on an episode of Sex and the City.

A Little Bit More Hilarity on That 10K We Did Together…
I know, I know. We’ve already shared a lot about our recent 10K together. BUT, while we were there in New Jersey and Brooklyn for Brooks Running—the four of us hanging out for the first time in person—I took quite a few photos and some video to document the event. And although we may have [...]

The 10th-annual Solstice in Times Square 2012 event took place on one of the hottest days of the year in New York City—close to 100 degrees! But, despite the heat, it was an unbelievably fun time.

So less than a week after working out with Bob, I got to do another awesome thing: fly to New York City to learn more about Brooks Running and hang out with its amazing designers.
