I hope, I hope, I hope!!
I ran 7.3 miles tonight! Leg had a little trouble, but it was the best it’s been (during AND after) since I started having trouble!!
I’ve always wondered if the quality of vitamins and supplements mattered. I mean, what’s the difference between the $2 bottle of multivitamins and the $20 (or more) bottle?

Wow… that’s crazy! I’m starting to get really excited!! This week will be a 50-60 mile week, and then I’ll taper to 20-27 the week of the marathon. In a way, that’s scary (I’m not strong enough! I haven’t worked hard enough! That’s what I always find myself saying during a taper), but in a…

The last 5 weeks have FLOWN by, perhaps as evidenced by my lack of posts… The two weeks since my last post have been filled with a lot of sleepless nights, trying to keep the house clean for showings (aka a half day’s scramble to make our house presentable!), directing the Frightening 5k, appointments, an…
