It’s been quite an eventful week for running – I ran a marathon, then I signed up for more races – not only Wine & Dine (more on that later), but also the Marine Corps Marathon! How? The MCM race organizers unexpectedly provided a “rush” option Wednesday morning, releasing 11,000 guaranteed registrations, and I snagged one. Once again, I’m...

I had planned to begin this post with a joyous “I’M REGISTERED FOR WINE & DINE!!!” but alas, it is not to be – if you haven’t already heard, registration has been delayed. Unknown as to why, but supposedly more information will be released later this week. In my heart of hearts, I want it to be because they’re...

Hmmm. Do I have anything interesting to say this week? Let’s look at the workout log while I think on it. Sunday | ran 10.27 miles outside in 1:45 I had hoped to make it to 12 or 13 miles but I had stuff to do and slept too long to fit it in. Monday | walked 2.l9 miles...

Greetings, citizens! How’s it going? I’m currently riding the high of finding running capris on clearance for $10! They’re size small but they FIT ME by some miracle AND they have TWO side pockets AND they have a high waist which I find helps leggings stay up better AND man, it sure doesn’t take much to please a runner,...

Happy Valentine’s Day! If you’re reading this, I love you. (For reals, the idea that people read the things I write gives me the warm fuzzies. <3) Pat and I used to mark the occasion by eating dinosaur chicken nuggets, but then we decided they were so awesome that we should incorporate them into our regular diet and now...

Awww, man. No more post-marathon break time. Although I did allow myself a slightly reduced ramp-up week. Roll tape: Sunday | ran 5.27 miles on the treadmill in 60 minutes I was still in NYC for a conference; the hotel gym sucked and the treadmill kept shocking me, but I hopped back on that horse. Also I got to...

Here we are in a post-WDW Marathon apocalyptic wasteland. At least you get to take a lot of rest days there. Workout log, show the nice people. Sunday | WDW Marathon, 4:47:44, BEST RACE EVER BEST RACE EVER!!! Monday | rest I had planned to take a ballet class, but an impending ice storm compelled me to stay home....

I’m back from the marathon. It was AMAZING. I’m still riding the trailing current of my runner’s high and I can’t wait to sign up for Wine & Dine! Current WDW withdrawal level: medium. But more about that later this week. I’m also still riding the trailing current of marathon-induced sleep deprivation, so let’s just jump right into the workout log....
