Last night after a certain someone spent many (many) hours downtown doing something that might be fabulous, we went out for a 6 mile recovery run with 6 strides. We ran our usual 6 mile loop and for the last mile we would sprint and walk and so on for 6 repeats. Nothing too fascinating [...]

I know that most people do these 101 things about themselves….but seeing that Jason and I are co-owners of this blog…and today is our 3 year wedding anniversary….I thought a list of us would be just as interesting…and just a little too cutesy. And, being truly spectacular, we could not be contained to 101 [...]

Going into this race I had no idea what the expect or what to assume I could do. I hadn’t run much in the previous week and half and those runs that I did do, I either had to start walking within a few miles or less or I just “got through them”. Weather reports [...]

Well well well. How much to update? How about quickly using bullets.

We ran last week on Wednesday what was supposed to be 14 miles. I ended at 5 with a very sore hamstring.
I didn’t run at all for about 5 days.
We did walk around and stand at Lollapalooza for 3 days straight however, which I [...]

I am mentally weak.

My hamstring is fine after taking care of it the past few days. However, I can’t get through a mile or two without my heart feeling like it’s going to leap out of my chest and on to the pavement. When that happened once I took it to be because of non-sleeping [...]

I have a new found love of new music. What a fantastic experience. Go figure that there are other artists than the six that are on my iPod rotation. Sunday proved no different than the other 2 days. Oh except it was so hot on Sunday that Jason and I were in a constant state [...]

Well day two was another busy one filled with known and unknown music. This concert is so super fun….alright here we go.

We got to the concert around 1pm to catch Pete Yorn. On the way to the Pete Yorn stage we passed a stage where Ryan Shaw was playing. I have no idea who that [...]

Yesterday Jason and I were at Day 1 of Lollapalooza. A friend of the family couldn’t use his 3-day passes and so passed them onto us. Jason and I aren’t huge into the music scene so we knew that most of what we would be seeing would be new.

We started with Ted Leo & the [...]

Because then it might be true and not just some awful nightmare where you wake up in the middle of the night sweating and then smile because you realize IT WAS ALL A FUCKING DREAM.

I made it out 5 mile on our 14 mile run yesterday…only to have my “twinged” hamstring become a full fledged [...]

Somebody out there needs to say yes. If you say yes, I can stop my recovery runs at 5 miles and not have to endure 6 miles of trudging through Chicago. Seriously.

Seriously.

Okay, I’m not really serious. Yesterday we had a six mile recovery and it went just fine. My legs felt [...]
