I spent this week recovering, but not entirely resting. I’m not a big fan of total rest, so I kept busy without knocking myself out: an easy spin on Wednesday, a slow and relaxed two-miler on Thursday, another spin on Friday and then I took yesterday off. By this morning, I was ready to go […]
Wrap it Up
Okay, I promise this will be the last CIM post (at least this week – HA!) No really, as thrilled, excited and hyper as I still am, it’s time to move on to other topics. Soon, I promise. But before I move on, I need to reiterate how friggen HAPPY this race made me! You […]
Of Course I Have More to Say About the Marathon
But you saw that coming, didn’t you? I sure do love me a bulleted list, so here it is: I didn’t mention the CIM before I ran it because I really couldn’t face posting about it if things didn’t go well. I knew you would all say super nice, supportive and sympathetic things because you […]
Three Things (Seen on my Run) Thursday
I had a glorious (and gloriously cool – it was 55 degrees!) 6-mile tempo run this morning. While I was kicking my goal time’s ass, I saw the following three things: An enormous owl flying right over my head. Eeek! I was running near that big empty field I talked about a few weeks ago, […]
Spoiled
Holy crap it was cold this morning! I got up at five with the idea that I would get my booty out the door for my five miles of speedwork sometime around six o’clock. When I checked the weather, my jaw hit the floor: it was 35 degrees outside! That’s January weather, not October (and, […]
You Just Never Know…
Or, “How My Two-Hour Run Turned into Over Three Hours Away from Home.” I woke up and saw this for the weather forecast this morning: I thought to myself, “Cloudy doesn’t sound too bad and I can handle Light Rain. The wind is a little much, but I’ll head out and see what it feels […]
Running with Little Boy
This morning I went out for an easy 3-miler. The weather was my idea of perfection: 50 degrees and a little cloudy from last night’s rain. I don’t have to work today, so I woke up cheerful and not feeling rushed to get my run in. Little Boy wanted to run with me and his […]
A Few More Marathon Thoughts
During my long day on Sunday, I noticed a few things about the marathon experience: Some spectators are there to yell for their person and some spectators are there to yell for everyone. The LB Marathon had pretty hit-and-miss spectator support, but the worst was the long stretches of people who weren’t really cheering for […]
Three Things Thursday (Wednesday Edition)
I’m T-minus four days for my race and my ability to think coherently is gone, so here are your bullet-points for the day: I (finally) got to see my Sports Doc and PT yesterday! I love them, in spite of the three week wait to get in. After a very thorough exam, the doctor explained […]
Getting a Fever
Nope, not the bad kind of fever. I am finally – six short days before my race – getting Marathon Fever!! Saturday morning at 8 am, I took Big Boy to karate class. Oh, yeah, another piece of the crazy puzzle that is my schedule these days? Big Boy has two hours of karate on […]
