I am a runner. Or, well, I was more of a runner before the accident, but I still love running. However, I have been advised by my doctors and family to not run at all due to the high likelihood of damaged cartilage and inevitable arthritis. So, while I still hit the pavement about once …

Where have I been
Let's just say that when you are blogging all day for someone else, coming home to write your own blog takes a back seat. For the past few weeks I have been settling into my internship at a tech startup (www.tipranks.com) writing daily posts about news in the finance world and coming up with clever …
A Typical Day
It has been almost two weeks since my relocation to Israel and no two days have been alike. From the moment we landed we have been on the go, finding a new place, moving and settling in, and only just now is some semblance of normal finding its way into the everyday. I started the …
Promenade
We had a long day of walking throughout the city, visiting different neighborhoods and historic sites. And as much as I hate being herded in a large group with a tourist sign flashing above my head, it was wonderful to learn more facts about Tel Aviv and be guided through this young city.

A year without running
Today, June 30th, marks the one year anniversary of a day that has forever changed my view of the world. I have always been able to run, but I have not always been a runner. I played on team sports since I was a young lass, baseball, basketball, and lacrosse, and they all involved plenty …

Taking it Back
On June 30, 2012 my life changed forever. In a freak, let's prove the existence of physics running accident, I broke my left hip. After major surgery and months of recovery I am back in tip top shape. Other than a higher risk of arthritis and some weaker leg muscles that will slowly even out, …
Little Obsessions
Most of my days are fairly routine in the sense that I go to work all day (normally with some sort of break in the middle, if I'm lucky), then I take myself over to the gym and either spin or do a body weight workout, and then come home and make dinner, followed by …
Out for a Walk
I took the long way home this weekend and walked all throughout this beautiful city... Then I took a walk to my gym... Then a walk around my neighborhood... and I ended my weekend with a walk to my kitchen... Banana Ice Cream!!! Blend one frozen banana, with a tablespoon of your favorite nut butter …
I’m Back
Dear Blogging World, I apologize for my absence. It was not on purpose, nor were there any feelings of malice behind my leave, life just got in the way. That is not a good excuse as you are part of my daily living, but please forgive me for straying for so long. Ok, ok. Yes, …
