Tall Mom on the Run Virtual Race for the Cure 5K

March 29, 2010

I was so excited when Tall Mom decided to host a virtual Race for the Cure! I think it’s an awesome cause and I’m a big fan of virtual races. Sadly, life got in the way and my plan to do a 10k had to be shelved. The only time I could find to run [...]

Three Things Thursday

March 26, 2010

Barely squeaking this one in on Thursday. Gosh it’s been a long day! 1. I feel surprisingly good today. No soreness anywhere! My legs are tired and my toes are tender, but considering I ran 30 miles in the last two days, I expected to feel much worse. This makes me wonder if maybe there [...]

Wordless? Not me.

March 24, 2010

Short story: I finished my first 20 miler for this marathon today. It was hell. The end. The rest of the story: Yesterday I ran a lovely 10 miles. I ran slower than last week, knowing I’d be running 20 today. I finished in 1:40:09, with really negative splits, but without really pushing too hard. [...]

Monday Randomness

March 22, 2010

Life is a bit scattered right now with a lot of different stuff going, so this post will be in the “stream of consciousness” style. ;o) My right shoulders is sore. Apparently if you lift four ounces approximately 3000 times, it is a toning workout. Next time I need to figure out how to get [...]

Beautiful morning at the National Marathon

March 20, 2010

A few weeks ago I volunteered at a 5k and caught the “volunteering” bug. I knew that the National Marathon needed volunteers and I was able to get a spot at an early water station near a metro. Score! I convinced one of my “mommy” friends to volunteer with me, so we headed over there [...]

Three Things Thursday

March 18, 2010

1. Yesterday I ran 19 miles. It was nowhere near as amazing as the 9 I’d run the day before, but I got it done. I met my friend after running 4.5 and she ran about 12 with me. I’d never have made it otherwise. My pace averaged out at 10:44, which was pretty amazing [...]

The Hill*: The Leprechaun**: The Shwag: The Parade***: *Kudos to Pacers and Swim Bike Run Photography for not charging for the photos. **The leprechaun started 8 minutes after the gun went off and still beat 1033 of the 1213 runners. ***’cause nothin’ says St. Paddy like Bolivian dancers.

GU Electrolyte Brew Review and THAT’s why I run!

March 16, 2010

I’ve had some decent runs lately, but it’s been a long time since I came home from a run with an endorphin buzz. Today’s run was simply the best I’ve had in ages. Training called for a 9 mile “pace” run. I decided to try to run it at about a 10 minute pace (my [...]

Apparently I can’t count…

March 15, 2010

I went to the store today to buy 8 beers for the auction basket… Shoo decided to throw a huge tantrum (he’s 4 – shouldn’t he be done with this?), so I was completely unable to focus. I just grabbed a whole bunch of Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, and North Carolina beers. Oh, and one from [...]

Four Courts Four MIler Race Report

March 14, 2010

I woke up this morning to the sound of rain on the roof. Not exactly what I wanted to hear when I planned to run to a race, run a race, and then run home again. Hmm, what to wear and what to do? After changing my mind a few times, I settled on capris [...]
