Legit

Completely unrelated to running. We were mentioned in Portland Monthly magazine! We did zero ass kissing to get there too. Whoot whoot. We may have chosen not to live in “über” hipster pdx and I still hold a slight grudge with my better half, but is it awesome to get good feedback from a place […]

26 Miles for Fun

One thing about me is I’m super impulsive. Well, compared to husband I guess. Actually that would make me mildly reasonable. Anyway…I was pretty excited about Missoula until I realized it was only 12 weeks away and my first Sunday “long run” of 10 miles took me until everyone finished brunch with mimosas and already […]

Boston Tragedy

I think I’ve finally wrapped my head around the Boston tragedy. My running partner and I were speaking on the phone when the first explosion went off. I remember her saying,”what was that!?” then we said maybe a few more words and cell service was so bad we just hung up. I had no idea […]

Oh Hi

Hey. Your still here? What the heck for? Oh well. I figured today would be a good day to complain since I’m home from puking my brains out. I was kinda looking forward to a day off alone recuperating but last night my daughter threw up all over. Then the freaking dog too. Really? I’m […]

2013

I can’t believe the first month of the new year is almost over. I still need to do my taxes. Ugh. First things first. The no drinking for the month of January. Well, I didn’t make it. Shocker. BUT I made it 14 days (yes I realize that isn’t even half of my goal but […]

Bla

Have I mentioned I think I’m depressed because there probably won’t be a spring marathon. Meh. Memorial weekend there is a local Olympic distance triathlon here in town that I may do but frankly swimming in the cest pool they call Bennington Lake sounds kinda miserable. I don’t know, maybe it’s not. Many people think […]

Resolution

No, it was not my resolution to quit blogging. Please stop filling my inbox with hate mail that cries of missing my unique life events and spectacular writing. Since this is a running blog and I haven’t really been running I guess there is nothing to report. That’s not totally true (unlike the other 364,199,432,876 […]

Newtown

It’s hard to write about awesome things when so many families lives have been ripped apart. It makes me sick to my stomach. I feel guilty for being happy that I am taking my daughter to the Nutcracker today. I feel guilty my son gets to eat cookie dough from the bowl. I feel guilty […]

CIM: The Real Truth

I still feel jipped for the record. I’m happy for the PR, but considering I trained and was at nearly 50 mpw most peak weeks I should have PRed. In all honestly I think the weather hindered me by at least 5 minutes, maybe more, maybe less. We won’t know but it’s great to point […]

You Get What You Get and You Don’t Throw a Fit.

I don’t even know where to start so I guess I’ll just start with this picture the day before CIM. Finish time 3:52:01- a PR As I sit here I still don’t really know what I think of yesterday. I did PR but I was way off my goal at least by ten minutes. I […]
