citigroup center...
my niece jo had an interview earlier today for an internship. while waiting for her, i decided to hangout at the atrium level of the building...
false advertisement...
i am a very picky person when buying clothes especially when it comes to pants. i remember at one point of not buying a jeans for over 5 years. yes, that's how picky i am.
in any case, i was saw these great dress pants yesterday at h&m. the style, colour, and best of all, the price was great (cheap!!). so i searched for my size and went straight to the cashier.
as soon as i got home, i tried the pants to see how it feels and looks. i would have given it a two thumbs up but i cannot button my pants. i checked the tag to make sure i got the right size - size 32. call me vain but i know i am a size 32. all my pants are 32. i run 3-4 miles every other and completed a half marathon just last weekend. i refuse to believe that my waist line is beyond 32. they must have put the wrong tag to a much smaller pants. yes, that's what it is. just the wrong tag.
sorry pants but you are going back to the store. :)

2014 nyc half marathon...
if you remember over a year ago, i volunteered with my running club - NikeRunNYC - so that I can get a guaranteed spot for this years event (click here to see post).
i run on a regular basis but to train for a marathon, even for a half marathon, you need to dedicate time. i tried to start but a month ago, i felt this pain on my right knee (still feeling it every now and then) so i took 2 weeks off. then about a week ago, i got sick - i had to rest. that's three weeks of not running. it was the worst preparation ever!!! i was contemplating of backing out but i got the encouragement from my running buddies to try it and take it slow. so, being the dedicated runner that I am (NOT!!!), i went for it #justdoit.
in the end, i had a cramp on my left calf starting mile 5 and add to that pain on my right quadriceps by mile 10. i was not a pretty sight to look at but damn it, i went straight for that white light.......i mean crossed that finish line. :)
