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...

Greetings, citizens! How’s it going? I’m currently riding the high of finding running capris on clearance for $10!

Last weekend I was very brave. I did my longest pre-marathon run of 17 miles… OUTSIDE. WHAT. For the longest time I was strictly a treadmill girl. But time and circumstances pushed me outside more and more. Then last June I lost my nice, walking distance gym, and vowed to perform as many of my runs as possible outside...

(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...

Three words: STUPID IT BAND. Yup, my old injury has reared its ugly, ugly head. Mind you, I probably shouldn’t’ve run a 14 miler when I suspected something might be up with it again, but it was on the schedule, okay? WHAT WAS I SUPPOSED TO DO??? (Rest. Right. Yeah. Whatever.) The good news is – and I’m gonna go find...

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...
