Too many things to talk about so I’m just making a list:
1. Dear state cop who got stuck behind me today. I’m sorry you had to drive the speed limit. I could tell you didn’t like it because you road my ass for 13 miles. I’m proud of you for not trying to pass, since [...]

I dreamed that the running partner had an injury where a section of her lower leg was missing and everyone wanted me to donate mine so she could run again. WTH?
And the part that wasn’t a dream? I hurt my foot again.
Its my own fault. On Wednesday I was watching a movie and was rubbing [...]

Whenever I am home alone (like right now), I heard all kinds of noises in the house. I hear someone walking in the kitchen, or the front door open, or music playing, or people talking. And then I get up to see what’s going on (I just heard someone walk just now!) and then there’s [...]

Hoax or not, I for one am thankful that boy was never in the balloon.
I know that half the country was praying he would be ok.
Sometimes miracles aren’t as dramatic as we expect.

Six more days until I get to run again. :)
Sunday I’m riding my bike with my running partner while she does her first long run in the recovery training.
There’s a race at the end of the month that I would LOVE to run, but I’m afraid that its too much, too soon. Its a 15K [...]

I spent the day chasing my running partner through two cities while she ran her first marathon and I did my first Sherpa duty and tried to be encouraging for her in the race.
First one point about me (because I’m selfish like that).
Let me say that I had no idea that this was such a [...]

My running partner is sleeping.
At least, she had better be. If she is reading this, she had better be sitting at breakfast and not be sitting up surfing the web the night before the marathon.
The weather channel says 40F at race start and 55F at the finish. Its going to be a glorious race. :)
We [...]

I guess some guy who won his age group at the twin cities marathon, was sidelined due to a blood clot, which prevented him from urinating.
He was at an aid station but they didn’t have any catheters.
All was not lost however. Fortunately a bystander was able to help him by bringing a catheter FROM HIS [...]

Do people link here via Facebook or is my stat tracker just screwed up? I don’t see any way to put bookmarks in Facebook, so I figured somebody put a link somewhere. Does anyone know?
Its been 2 weeks since my MRI, which means 2 more weeks until I run. Technically, the “foot guy” said 3 [...]

I seem to have fixed the back problem. My mom had mentioned something about back spasms, and it got me thinking that maybe I hadn’t really “injured” something but actually just had spasming (sp?) muscles. After all, I was just standing at the sink.
So I laid down on the bed with my knees up (which [...]
