We love a good run in the morning to boost our mood and work off the occasional indulgence from Jacques Torres. And we have nothing but admiration for the thousands of dedicated athletes who gather on Staten Island every year for the start of that grueling 26.2-mile race known as the New York City Marathon.
International competition is alive and well this weekend - and you can participate! The Nike+ Human Race kicks off Sunday in 26 cities around the globe, including Austin, TX; Buenos Aires; Chicago; London; Los Angeles (now sold out); Melbourne, Australia; Mexico City; New York City; Paris; Portland, OR; Shanghai, China; and Vancouver, Canada.
We’ve spent many a night rooting for our favorite Olympic athletes over these last couple of weeks, shrieking at our TV as we experienced the highs (Michael Phelps’ unstoppable gold-medal streak) and lows (Nastia Liukin’s heartbreaking tiebreaker fiasco) with the rest of America. And witnessing 38-year-old Constantina Tomescu-Dita of Romania and 41-year-old Dara Torres of the U.S. kick ass during the marathon and swimming competitions, respectively, has inspired us to get off of our duffs.
