Is it really only Tuesday? I’m having one of those weeks that seems to be flying by, yet hardly moving at the same time. I’m feeling rather scattered, so I’m going to be falling back on bullet points. I was supposed to run on Sunday, but my mid-day beer left me feeling highly unmotivated. Instead,…

There was a point in my life where I was much more familiar with the former than the latter, but now that I’m a mommy runner, GU seems a bit more useful these days. So, I guess I’ll give out a few Stilettos and some GU. ;o) GU Giveaway: The lovely folks over at Outside…

As soon as I get motivated (aka as soon as it rains and some of the pollen goes away, so I feel like I have brains instead of just snot in my head), I will be doing a GU giveaway. I’m thinking two winners and I know it will include some gels, chomps and brews….

But I’m not stupid. Several of you suggested cutting my 20 miler short or rescheduling it, Beer Geek included. In fact, he offered me the option of running it Saturday morning while he watches the kids. Since I have two meetings this week and I’m volunteering at a race on Friday night, this was a…

Today I planned to run an easy four miles. I ended up doing only 2.5 and walking the rest of the way home. It was a horrible, slow, slog of a run and I was just D.O.N.E. at the 2.5 mile point. Could I have pushed myself and finished? Probably. Did I have it in…

1. I registered myself and my dad for the Army 10 Miler last night. I happened to be on the computer late last night and discovered that when they said April 1, they meant 12:01 am. At this point, less than 24 hours later, 23,000+ of the spots are filled. I know I said I’d…

So many beers, so little time. You’d smile too, if you were surrounded by beer. Since sandals aren’t allowed on a brewery tour, I got to rock these awesome booties! Don’t you wish you were me? LOL

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…

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…

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….

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…

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…
