IT’S HERE!!!!

It’s marathon morning. It’s race day. RACE DAY WOOOO!

Ok.

I am really nervous. More so than last year because I know what I have gotten myself into & the weather is so shitty this year that I am dreading being out in it for 4 (or less) hours. Cold Windy Rainy, I mean really who DOESN’T [...]

Look For These

Our spectators will be carrying around these lollypop looking signs. Red circles & easy to see. There will be a Go CRU one so look for them (oh the nerves are setting in!….I think I am going with short sleeves and shorts with a long sleeve throw away….if it’s raining I do not [...]

Took Sleep Instead

Well I WAS going to get up early and go run. Apparently though I am still in high school and slept till 10 instead. Oh well, I know I won’t get much sleep tonight so I’d rather have had some good sleep last night.

I keep going back and forth on what to wear for the [...]

Weather Practice

Since I am so worried about the temps on Sunday I thought I would go out and practice my clothing plan to see how I felt.

Jason and I got up at 6am this morning and were out by 6:30am. The temperature at this time was 39 degrees. This is what it will be at race [...]

Freaking Out

Hi everyone. The hourly forecast is now up at Accuweather. It’s going to be COLD and the real feel temp is going to be really cold. No Rain or Snow which is good. But all this flippin work and now I have run in 37 degrees for 4 hours. Dammit.

Not Perfect….But Better

The temperature isn’t getting better. At all. We are down to a high of only 45 which will put the start temp in the 30s, but weather.com and accuweather.com are saying partly cloudy…..which is obscenly better than 45 with rain! Plus if the sun just comes out to play a little bit it will be [...]

Getting ready to race

So far, Leah and I have been in pretty different places regarding the race. She’s been bouncing off the walls and vibrating like crazy and I’m pretty sure I’m the only one who can understand her when she speaks, she’s been talking so fast. As for me, I have barely been aware that [...]

Best Run of the Season?

Well Well Well.

I went out at 5pm today for a marathon dress rehearsal. The plan called for 7 miles with 2 at Marathon Pace. Since I am undecided about my marathon pace…I know I know we are 4 days away blah blah…..I decided to run the first two slowish, nice quick pace for 3 [...]

Best Boy In The World

That’s right Jason, I’m talking about you.

Poor guy has been best friends with icey dixie cups and ice baths and our wood floor the past two days. He missed yesterdays run and will be missing todays as well. Yet I know better than to keep asking him if he’ll be ok on Sunday. That’s because [...]
