Gold star
Two 3 mile runs in a 16 hour time span. I’ll take it! Especially since today’s run was hot, sticky and somewhat smoky/ashy. I’ll just be here at my desk, waiting for my gold star. Which shall be delivered by a gang of kittens wearing capes and riding in on…

Chicago Marathon week 5 recap, partly told in RHOC GIFs
I don’t know where to start – I’m embarrassed to talk about my mess of a training week. I have such mixed feelings about how things are going so far. On the one hand, I feel stronger and more fit than I ever have. But on the other, the mental…

Training and complaining
I’m almost done with week 5 and while my goal was to knock out 26 miles, I’m not sure I’ll come anywhere close to that. Of course, everything is still salvageable and I still have 3 days to hit the number (or at least come close to it.) But this…

Thursday rambles
Blogging is a tricky thing. There are so many things I want to post, but feel I can’t because it may involve someone or something other than myself. I learned the hard way in my early 20s that posting stuff on the internets for everyone to see can have some…

Chicago Marathon week 4
Whelp, week 4 is in the books. As usual, I’m not sure how I feel about how things went this week. I didn’t get enough mileage in, thanks to shark week (not the Discovery Channel version and please don’t make me Urban Dictionary it for you.) Yes, you can run…

Lacking inspiration, gaining a reality check
I guess this means my mini-blogging streak is over. Though, I’m putting words to a keyboard now, so who knows. I guess I’ll just go with it. I don’t have anything new to report on the running/marathon/working out front. I ran Monday and swam Tuesday. I was going to run…

Chicago Marathon week 3
Sup, y’all? This is probably the most I have blogged. EVER. I think I’m on 6 posts in 2 weeks and while it’s all boring and none of it is ground-breaking, I THINK I DESERVE A GOLD STAR. AND A UNICORN. AND A FARM FULL OF KITTENS. Because I could…

Long run report
Meh. 8 miles. done. It was a good run, just hot (I don’t even think it’s all that warm out…like mid-70s, but the sun is in full force) and as usual, I didn’t eat enough pre-run. Also, my calf started hurting towards the end. It’s been bugging me a bit…

Saturday confessional
In keeping with my long-standing long run avoidance streak, I’m procrastinating going out for today’s run and writing a random post instead. I didn’t exactly time things well today and ended up arriving at my long run spot at the hottest, sunniest point of the day. I’ve played that game…

Chicago Marathon training, week 2 recap
Week 2 of training is in the books! It went far better than week 1 (but really, how could it not? Because even 1 mile of running was more than what I did the week before.) I kind of went into last week feeling like a bit of a failure…
