Brunches, Bootcamps, and Bachelorettes

After a whirlwind start to the weekend including my new 10K PR, I was ready for a relaxing rest of the weekend.

It turns out, my friends had other plans in store!

After the race, our sweaty bunch headed over to the Whym for brunch.

We were all starving and thirsty so luckily the service was friendly and pretty fast considering we had a large group.

I hydrated with an iced coffee and water while our group caught up.

The menu had many delicious options such as whole wheat French toast, omelets, and pretzel rolls. They weren’t very good about making substitutions so instead I went with a tried and true favorite, an egg white frittata.  The salmon, pepper, and onion frittata was more delicious than I expected and the fruit salad was huge!

I would go to the Whym again in a heartbeat post race especially due to it’s close proximity to Central Park.

Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to hang out with the group very long due to the BeFitNYC launch event I was helping host with Leanne Shear and Rogue Female Fitness!

Unfortunately, the event’s location had to change last minute due to weather. Those in attendance still had a great time and I was sweating like crazy by the end of the workout. The 30/30 boot camp style workout was no joke! I’ll definitely do a separate post about the event later this week once I get some of the footage the taped.

  The rest of my afternoon was filled with shopping and last minute errands before an evening of toasting and celebrating.

Our first stop was Barrow Street Ale House to catch up with Theodora, Tina, and Becca over a few drinks.

  Time flew as we laughed about our families and race goals.

Our next stop was City Winery, to toast one of our favorite couples, Mike and Liz!

We’ve known Mike and Liz for four years, since Bo met them in graduate school. We’re so honored to be part of their big day and have loved watching their relationship evolve over the past few years.

 

Their engagement party was amazing! It included make your own ice cream sandwiches, champagne, and a wonderful homemade playlist. 

Liz looked amazing and reminded me of a blonde Kate Middleton! Check out her gorgeous dress and curls! I’ve decided that I want my hair long again just so I can experiment with curling it!

After a few toasts, I had to part ways with Bo, and head to my final party of the night, a New York City bachelorette for Lauren! This was hands down one of the best bachelorette parties ever! I definitely questioned the limo idea but going bar to bar, from Brooklyn to Manhattan, in a white stretch limo was a blast, especially with these ladies!

During the course of the evening we visited Mono+Mono, The Woods, No Malice Palace, Prohibition, and The Delancey.

Needless to say, a trip to Pick A Bagel was required on Sunday morning when I woke up.

    Words can’t describe how much I enjoyed this whole wheat everything bagel complete with egg whites and low fat cheese.

That, combined with a dose of The O.C. Season 3 made for a wonderful end of the weekend.

Question: What is your favorite bachelorette memory from either your event or someone else’s?
