This schedule is RIDONKULUS!!!

We fell asleep around 11am and I was so totally out it when our apartment buzzer rings. Now I have to tell you that our apartment buzzer is not just some regular nice ding dong sounding bell. It sounds like a fog horn and I am guessing can be heard in all [...]

This morning (evening? well I guess it’s morning for all of you and evening for Jason and I this week since we are working the midnight-8am shift) we finally were able to get some sleep. I have troubles sleeping when it’s light out because I just feel like I’m taking a nap so I’m up [...]

If you’ve read Running with Scissors or Dry, you know what a completely insane life Augusten Burroughs has led. If not, I highly recommend checking out both of those books assuming brutal honesty doesn’t make you squeamish. It’s actually kind of hard to describe the circumstances under which he grew up, but I [...]

I just tapped the water cooler here at work!

That’s just as cool as tapping a keg, right?

Man, we runners lead wild lives.

Jason and I will be leaving for Lancaster, England in less than two weeks now. I am so freaking out because nothing (NOTHING!) is ready to go yet. I get a little crazy when it comes to travel and like to be overly prepared. Honestly I’ll start making lists this week

But what about [...]

Today we had a 4 mile recovery run and did we ever take the recovery route. We stopped to stretch a couple times and the second time stopped for quite a bit to try and work out the kinks in our legs. We slowly made it back to our neighborhood and walked the rest of [...]

Tonight was the first installment of the Chicago Runners Unite (is this what we are sticking with?) meet up at Goose Island. How fun was that! It was so awesome to meet up with other Chicago runners and see what kind of training plans (or tv shows on DVD they watch…can we please let the [...]

Well we were going to go work out at the YMCA. But instead took a walk around the neighborhood to get city stickers and neighborhood parking permits taken care of. It was probably a little over two miles and it was just nice to walk around a bit. We are so often stuck in the [...]

We had another general aerobic 10 mile run today. After a stop at Dicks sporting good in Lombard we randomly ran into a fellow Chicago Blogger and got home in what was, for once, a reasonable amount of time. I had probably purchased too much…but, oh well, I needed some technical undies (and apparently I [...]
