It was a lot of fun. Yesterday DH and I powershopped. We were shopping from 8 in the morning to the...

Hey guys. Yesterday was a rest day for me. DH is in California for work and I am playing single mom. Yesterday I had a long, boring, meaningless meeting after school. Then I had to rush home to make dinner and do the homework. Today I went for a run. I only was able to get three miles in...

Hey guys. Last night I slept over my dad's house again. I went to CF in the morning and then went back to my dad's for breakfast. He was feeling a little better, so I left to get some laundry done. I put up my lighted Christmas garland around my staircase and banister. We will be getting our...

Hi guys. It's been a pretty crappy week. After getting home on Monday, my dad was complaining about stomach pains Monday night. He asked my husband to take him to urgent care. Urgent care insisted he go to the ER. Turns out he needed to get his gall bladder removed. He spent Thanksgiving in the...

Hey guys, I got home a couple of hours ago. I still cannot believe after all these months of training, I ran the Philadelphia marathon. It rained and it was windy. . . but I had trained for those conditions, hadn't I? I ran my heart out. Kept a really good pace for the first 18-20 miles...

Hey guys. Got in 8 miles yesterday, 12 miles today. Now is the real taper. My longest run this week will be 8 miles and my shortest will be 4. I am only running 4X this week. 4 miles, 6 miles, 4 miles, 8 miles. That's a lot less than what I have been doing all this time. I hope it pays off. My...

Hey guys. Got my last long run in today. 18 miles with a 9:23 pace. I am ready for this race! Now I am watching the NYC marathon (I DVR'd it).

Hey guys. 12-mile long run done. Glad I got it in today. Heading to my son's baseball game in a bit. The run was hard, but I pushed through and kept a 9:30 pace. I am thinking my period is making me feel sluggish. . . and being as though the marathon is a month away, I am a little worried that I...

Today I did my second 20-mile long run. The loop I run is approximately 9.2 miles. When I finished the second loop, I wanted to call it a day, but I forced myself to finish the 1.5 miles I had left. I am glad I did. My pace was 9:38 a mile, a little slower than the last time. I think the hills...
