Man has today been incredible!
How can you not jump for joy when the weather is this beautiful? I can’t appreciate today’s weather nearly as much as my NYC friends who have dealt with the freezing weather but it’s still amazing! I also think it’s impossible for me to do anything fun like jumping without opening my mouth! #akwardforthewin
I woke up this morning for a Soul Cycle date with my sister in law Meg and running buddy Meghan. Did you know that there are two Soul Cycle locations within two blocks of each other? Yup! I showed up at the 19th street Soul Cycle big as life this morning thinking that it was just a renovated Union Square studio. Or maybe it was just early and I hadn’t had any coffee. 
A few minutes later I found myself on bike 39 jamming out to an awesome playlist and Isabel’s inspirational and very arm heavy class. It was my first time spinning with Isabel but I really liked her format. The class was a sweat fest and filled with lots of pushups and touchbacks but her music took our mind off everything. The class flew by and before I knew it we were stretching. I appreciate the fact that Soul Cycle is such a full service studio offering you everything from shoes, towels, shower toiletries, and even hair ties. It’s so nice to know I can spin in New York and not have to pack spin shoes and not lug all my beauty products to the studio and then to work. 
We followed our spin class with a trip to Liquiteria Union Square which just opened at 13th and 4th Avenue. The All Greens with lemon, ginger and apple was perfect to sip on all day as the ginger kick kept me mindful of how much I enjoyed. I loved their assortment and the fact that they also make smoothies and other fun treats like acai bowls. The past few days have inspired me with so many fun new ingredient combinations for my Geneva juicer beginning next week!
After a long day of meetings there was no where I wanted to be other than Central Park. Our work run club hit the streets for a fun, relaxed run through Central Park Zoo, over the small bridges, up the hills and through the tree lined row of statues enjoying the almost 60 degree weather! The park was filled with runners all enjoying the weather and fresh air!
I’m so thankful to enjoy business trips to New York City which allow me to have great face to face meetings with my co-workers and business partners during the day and then enjoy quality time with friends during workouts and dinners.
Your turn: What about Spring has you jumping for joy?
It’s funny. we are wimps when it comes to cold here in Texas. Needless to say, we have very few sweaters and coats. But this winter has been the worst ever and I had to buy more sweaters just to survive. So, I’m ready to wear short sleeve shirts and tank tops. I’m not looking forward to the heat that’s about to come, but the spring weather for sure (which we usually only get a week).
We are ALL so grateful for your business trips to come back to NYC. Looking forward to seeing you this evening.
I’m excited that spring actually appears to be getting here! Just like most of the rest of the country, we’ve had awfully cold weather here in MN. This week it has been sunny and warm. I’m so excited to see the snow melt!
Oh my gosh the sunshine and just the FREEDOM that I get when I get home from work and it’s still sunny outside here in Denver. I feel like I have just gained so much more energy and time in any day 🙂
