:: BACK IN ACTION! ::
know what’s rough? picking up running after a 3-week hiatus of writing late into the night—crossing one leg over the other and otherwise barely moving; writing at bars with a glass of wine when your waitress divulges We’re still serving those wantons you like as if it’s some wanton (HA!) secret between you; hating every spunky jogger you pass while walking to work in the morning, your legs sincerely stiff from doing nothing.
but there were dozens of killer taste-centric adventures in between all that inertia—from Cambridge to JP to Eastie and Boston proper—and I cannot wait for full disclosure come ~2 weeks from now when the feature drops.
…otherwise, here’s to getting back on the horse and attempting to catch up with all of you! :)

training for the Gloucester Half Marathon (5/5/13) + spells of saturnalia in Boston bars/restaurants
BIO
Amanda is a copywriter by trade, blogger by night, runner by nature and foodie at heart. All of the pictures on this blog have been taken with her *iPhone 4, which can be terrible for making phone calls but surprisingly apt at capturing photos. She lives in Boston, MA.
*While it can be somewhat distracting to stop and get camera-happy while running, she'll be the first to tell you that it's been making training so much more dynamic--long, solo runs no longer feel as aimless, now they're about... reporting, and documenting bits of beauty along the way.

A BRIEF NOTE ON THE OBVIOUS RESTAURANTEERING AND INDULGENCE
While running and exercising can become so awesomely addictive, I really believe it shouldn't mean, in turn, that calorie counting ought to become obsessive. Life was meant to be lived, and if you're taking on some gnarly mileage in brutal conditions I don't think it's unreasonable to treat yourself to a glass of something barrel-aged or whiskey-washed, 2 rocks, hold the fruit.
