Welllllll. Attending a wedding with open bar and lots of college friends led to some questionable decisions…but at least it was fun?

Seven.days.
Rehydrating like a boss.

Thursday Things
Headed to the gym for a change of pace tonight. 30 minutes on the elliptical and then I decided to go ahead and attempt running on the treadmill thanks to the gym’s “weekly workout” which involved running a mile hard, 25 squats, 25 pushups, 25 triceps dips, 25 situps, and then running another mile hard. I ran medium thanks to my foot woes and back pain of yesterday, which flared...

Tumblr keeps eating my posts.
Home crossfit yesterday, shorter than anticipated run today. Made it 15 minutes out before experiencing shooting pains in lower back and a PF flare up, so I had to walk home.
Shitty day for a multitude of reasons.
Now, all the PT.
Chicago marathon birthdays
two-o-nine:

So two-o-nine and I have birthdays the week of the marathon - hers is 10/13 mine is 10/14. I also understand that becky-balances has a birthday that week. Anyone else? We need to get together for post-marathon birthday “cake.” Yay October birthdays!
I’m turning 30! :) Let them drink cake.
I’m thinking shots…tequila, anyone? Seems like a great...

Since beginning marathon training (May/June), I’ve lost ~8 pounds and 8 inches.
I’ve plateaued since the end of July (argh) but managed to lose 3.5 of those inches since then. Also, I gained .25 in my calves from July to September lolol
And I went from a longest run of around five miles (remember my injury-ridden spring?) to 15 two weeks ago and 18 planned tomorrow.

Half + 5 miles on Sunday, so I went out for ~3 miles this afternoon.
Picture this: 8 dead fish decaying on the side of the road. In a corn field, in the middle of nowhere, well over a mile from the nearest body of water. Wtf? Also…the smell was atrocious.
Down near the creek I was so zoned out that I said “bless you” very loudly when one of my dogs sneezed. The nearest house...

I daydreamed about running all day while trying to work. Now that I’m done working for the day, I just want to curl up with a book and some hot tea.
Hands and feet are freezing, so I thought it was long sleeve running weather, but when I stepped outside it was actually warmer than the house.
Procrastination has been the name of the game all day long.
And…RUN.

I officially registered for the Big Hit Half this weekend! Half number 2, here I come! Shortmom and Anna will be there…any other Tumblrs trekking to Louisville?
I ran ~3 miles Sunday in Minneapolis and yesterday evening. I wanted to do a short-ish long run today, but my whole body seems to be rebelling.
26 hours in a car with your boss in a 48 hour time span is a lot.
I’m...

After an entire weekend of driving/work, I didn’t get my planned 17 miles run, and this week is not looking good for fitting it into my schedule. Finding a safe place to run that doesn’t involve multiple out and backs is nearly impossible in a one hour radius of my house.
I’m strongly considering taking advantage of a Groupon and running the Big Hit half in Louisville this Sunday and going out...

30 minutes squeezed in before a crazy day.
4: number of times I cursed my overactive imagination and wished I had a headlamp
3: number of deer sighted
2: number of times a demonic schoolbus almost ran me off the road
1: endless loop of the latest T.Swift single repeating in my mind (I blame Robin)

It's a gorgeous day and I could use a reflective...
so of course I have some variation of the stomach flu.
I cleaned the house, cooked dinner (baked chicken, seasoned potatoes, zucchini, gluten free peach crisp, watermelon, chips + homemade salsa), and spent the last few hours with my family and one of our oldest friends watching the sun go down and trading ghost stories on the back porch.
Not bad for a rest day, eh?

Since I quit Diet Coke many moons ago, that will have to do.
It’s just that kind of day. Dreary and blah and oddly lonely—I usually thrive on working from home.
Anyone have a fun Crossfit-inspired WOD to throw my way for tonight? The basement is finally finished and ready for my return…

I think I have a running hangover.
The morning after racing and the morning after drinking are quite similar, actually.
Both allow you hours in a slightly euphoric state and leave you dehydrated, tired, and good for nothing but lazing around the next morning. You may wake up with strange pains or bruises, and your feet will probably hurt. Photos that you didn’t know were taken begin to surface.
But at least if it’s a...
