13 random things Thursday

13 random things Thursday

My life seems to be going in 1000 directions at once and 13 is my favorite number, so... 1. Yesterday I spent my entire day in snow pants.  I put them on early in the day to shovel snow and just never took them off.  Why?  Because my drafty old house does not do well with wind chills below zero. 2. It appears that I got the job I interviewed for last week.  At least HR thinks so.  I have an appointment next week to fill out paper work, but I haven't been contacted by the department I'll work for, so I'm not exactly sure what I've been hired for LOL. 3. I bought a new torture device at the running store last week - the Foot Log.  I've had issues with my forefoot for quite some time now + plus my feet are getting kind of tired of all … [Read more...]

Unplanned 10 miles + Zooma Run to Napa contest

Unplanned 10 miles + Zooma Run to Napa contest

Yesterday was a beautiful day.  High 50s and sunny with not a lot of wind.  Jones had a dentist appointment and then Beer Geek went out on a 2 hour bike ride.  Finally, at around 3, it was my turn.  My intention was 4-6 miles of easy running. It wasn't a perfect run.  I had issues with my calf tightening and my foot going numb.  I had a bit of pain in my right foot. But, somehow, I got in a groove and kept going and going until I realized dusk was approaching and I wasn't dressed appropriately.  I picked it up for the last mile and actually ran it at under a 10 minute pace.  I felt accomplished and strong when I finished.  I didn't intend to sneak up on my long run, but obviously it worked! More importantly, Zooma is running a … [Read more...]

Zooma Annapolis Ambassador!!!

Zooma Annapolis Ambassador!!!

Today started as one of those "no good, very bad" days.  I woke up with a headache again (so over this cold). Beer Geek yanked the clock out of my stove, which left me with live wires sticking out. (Long story).  School started on time, which meant walking to school on sidewalks that resemble a skating rink.  It's cold. It's grey. It's raining.  And I need to run 6 miles. But it's amazing how one simple sentence can turn your day around: Congrats! You have been selected as a 2014 ZOOMA Annapolis Ambassador Woot! Woot! Woot!  Zooma Annapolis has a LOT of things going for it: it's a women's race, it's in beautiful Annapolis, and the swag and post race event are pretty awesome. Even better?  It's the last race in my 13 races in 79 … [Read more...]

Zooma Half Marathon Race Report (Half Marathon#1)

Zooma Half Marathon Race Report (Half Marathon#1)

The short story: I finished with a time of about 2 hours and 20 minutes. Not the time I was hoping for, but a respectable time nonetheless. The course was hilly and boring and the weather was warm and humid. I'm just happy it's over. The long story: On Saturday, we drove to Delaware and took the boys to the beach. The weather was hot and sunny, perfect beach weather. Not so much perfect "day before a race weather". After the beach, we stopped at a brewery and took their tour and got some cases of beer. At that point, Jones, Shoo, and Beer Geek were all happy guys. We headed back to Annapolis, had dinner and took the boys swimming at the hotel pool. We all retired early to prepare for the next day. The day of the race I woke up … [Read more...]
