Overuse injury?
Yesterday I went out for a 13.1 mile run, and today was supposed to be my last 26 mile run in preparation for Disney. Because of circumstances outside my control, I ended up having to work last night and not getting home until close to 7 am this morning. I had originally planned on going out after about 2 hours of sleep,…

Runner's Guilt
Ugh, my friend just asked me to come in 2 hours early to work for her (not an emergency) and I can't do it because I'm headed out on a long run that will barely finish in time for me to shower and head in to work. I kind of feel guilty, but at the same time I'm training for a race that so far has cost me over $4000…

Bucket List
Today I'm procrastinating doing all the laundry, dishes, homework that I need to do, so I decided to work on a 'bucket list' of races I want to do before I die. So far I have: Disney (Goofy Challenge) Boston Chicago New York Athens Niagara Falls International Marathon Nike Women's Marine Corps Marathon Big Sur Honolulu Any…

Challenge Accepted
Once again, my enthusiasm probably got ahead of my brain, because I just signed up for something extraordinarily stupid: 2012 Goofy Race and a Half! I really don't know how I'm going to train for back to back races but it should be fun trying! At least that should be one off my bucket list, and no matter what happens it…

Thursday Daily Chat 11/10
I was waiting for one to be started today, but haven't seen it yet, so I'll start. Quick 5 mile run today. Hopefully it won't be too painful, but the weights class I went to last night worked my legs out way more than I wanted.

Things I never would have done a year ago....
So every once in awhile when I get down on myself because I haven't been doing so well or the scale isn't moving, I think of little things in my life that have changed over the past year. Its nice to get the bigger picture, and remind myself its not all about the scale. Two things I did today that I never would have done a…

NSV-New jeans
I have a pair of goal jeans that I bought several months ago, size 13/14. Initially, they were too small to get on, then they would button but I couldn't wear them out the of the house, and eventually they fit just about right. After keeping them in the dresser all summer, I wore them out yesterday-and spent the whole day…

NSV
I'm finally down to the weight I was in high school! (Granted, I was overweight in high school too, so still some progress to be made.) But for the first time in 8 years or so, my driver's license weight is not a lie!
