  • The circle of blog life, 2021 edition

    I mean, is anyone shocked that I haven’t updated this thing in over a year? Does anyone even look at blogs anymore? I mean, obviously nobody is looking at mine. I probably should have just scraped it, but for some reason I just can’t let this little corner of the…

  • Running into 2020

    Only a few more days left in both this year, and this decade. I’m not usually one who gets all reflective and makes 10,000 resolutions for the upcoming year (much less decade,) but so far 2020 is on track to be a great year and it hasn’t even started yet.…

  • Done and not done

    Holy cow, how has it been a month since the Chicago Marathon?! It really feels like it last week, but that’s also because October was a doozy. The good news is that I finished finished within the time limit Set a PR for the marathon distance The ‘meh’ news is…

  • T-minus 26 days (um…what?)

    **I published this post last Monday – no idea why it never actually published on the website** LESS THAN FOUR WEEKS TO GO – HOW DID I GET HERE??!!! I cannot even comprehend just how quickly this marathon is approaching. I leave for Chicago in just over three weeks and…

  • Slump City

    Y’all, it’s Slump City over here and I’m the one who’s slumping in a chair (bonus points to you if you caught the quasi-Friends reference to Chandler in sitting in a chair.) I got some news about 2 weeks ago that rocked my world, and once again, running got put on…

  • Chicago Marathon, days 11-?…Also known as the ‘week 2-4 recap’…and/or the worlds longest, and most boring blog post ever

    Gosh, I really suck at this whole blogging thing. I think I started writing this somewhere in the middle of the 3rd week…and now I’m a bit lost. I’ll fill in what I can. It’s going to be long. You’ve been warned. Basically, getting veneers threw me for a loop.…

  • Chicago Marathon, day 10

    Got a whopping 2 miles today! Victory! Bag is already packed with running gear for tomorrow. Keeping it really easy for a few more days. Slow pace, but have 6 miles for my long run. I’ve got this!

  • Chicago Marathon training, Days 5-9

    I just re-read my last blog post, because I needed to see where I left off. You guys! I literally do not remember writing that post, like, at all. The post has all kinds of errors…dare I say it’s a bit incoherent. I guess I was more drugged than I…

  • Chicago, day 3…and 4

    Day was actually yesterday. Got 2.75 miles done. Felt good. Today had a dental procedure (veneers to replace 2 cracked, discolored teeth.) exhausted (3 Xanax will do that to a person.) so today was a planned rest day. Planning for 4-7 tomorrow, but also struggling to eat (it’s uncomfortable.) so…

  • Chicago Marathon, day 2: pieces of shit happen

    Three posts in 24 hours? Yeah, I didn’t see that coming either. It was another toasty day here, but a solid 10 degrees cooler than yesterday. I ventured out for a lunchtime run at a local park, but struggled to get a real workout in. I ran a grand total…
