My unbelievably disgusting fourth toenail has finally fallen off. Seriously, that thing was one of the worst things I have ever encountered (visually speaking…it didn’t hurt that bad). It wasn’t just that the nail was black, but also most of the toe around the nail was black. It was 90% blood-clot, 10% toe (which isn’t [...]

I am trying this new thing where I keep track graphically of how our runs are going. I don’t know exactly how to do this quite yet. But for now, I just have our progress last week. This graph shows our additive distance each day. This is good because then the last day is our [...]

Well we are still in the process of slowly getting back into the running. We went for a Sunday run, but went at 12:30 pm instead of our usual summer 6:00 am start time. Here’s the route. I think we probably went a little fast, I didn’t time it but was breathing pretty hard by [...]

This week has been bad for the sleep thing. Jason and I have gotten like 4 hours of sleep each night and so yesterday we were so tired when we got home. But running is totally a part of our routine and so we jumped into some running clothes and we were off. I love [...]

So the title of this blog is Marathon Running…..but the marathon is over now. Well FOR now anyways.

Sorry this is so late. The race was such a big deal that I wanted to write a really nifty race report that was carefully crafted and well thought out. While those are lovely intentions, it really just ended up being something that is likely to never get finished. This needs to get written, however, [...]

Well it’s all over and we did it! We finished in 4 hours 20 minutes, which was our exact goal! How about that! I wanted to write a really long detailed post about how I felt during the race, before the race after the race but it was all so exciting and crazy that it’s [...]

Okay, I really should post here too. I’ve been pretty preoccupied with trying to hide this face from the world:

whenever I think about this weekend (as Leah sums up below nicely). My fingernails are pretty much all gone and I’ve been very jittery recently (especially my legs). Other than that, [...]

The marathon is this weekend. THIS weekend. Did everyone hear me right? THIS WEEKEND.

I am so so so so nervous. All of the runs recently have been going really well. We ended up running Saturday morning instead of Friday night because we stayed at the Lab to help with a volleyball tournament. That run went [...]
