Hello Friends! It was a snow day yesterday so I stayed snuggled in for most of the day, wrapping presents and eating Christmas goodies, only emerging when Dave came to rescue me in his SUV for a Christmas party. As I was going to bed I saw a tweet last night that the half marathon…

Des Moines, Iowa Race: How to Make Lemonade
Hello Friends! I am usually a planner. To the extreme. When I go on trips, I will often have a list with little check boxes to make sure I remember everything. Lately, I have been trying to relax a little. Or maybe I have turned to procrastination. Whatever it is…my list-making did not show up…
The Color Run Rant
Hello Friends! Okay you know how you get super excited about something and the closer it comes the more excited you get and the anticipation grows and grows and well, it’s not all that you had hoped for? This is how the Color Run was for me. So many amazingly cool pictures on the Color…
Purple Stride Walk 2012
Hello Friends! I went for a long run for the first time since…May 16th according to DailyMile. It felt good! Well, the run didn’t feel good the whole time, but I feel good today having run 4 miles at the Purple Stride Walk. It was also for a very good cause, pancreatic cancer. The survival…
The Day Before
Hello Friends! Well it’s been tapering week! (Which to be quite honest…wasn’t all too different from a lot of other weeks in my training for my first ever half marathon.) I only ran a short run once, instead of two short and one long run. I tried to mostly get some walking in. Sunday: Rest/Eat…

First Race Ever! 5K Midnight Run
I did it! My very first race ever! And I think I am hooked! It was a midnight race for a very respectable local charity downtown. It was very weird running that late as the sun is usually out when I am running, but I couldn’t have asked for better weather! To tell you the…
Half marathon what? A nice 13ish mile run…
Hey all, I would say that I’ve been too busy to blog, but really I have just been a little too lazy. It’s been 3 months! Don’t get me wrong, I have been working a lot, and I somehow got through Anatomy and Physiology II in these past 3 months, and Christmas and New Years were crazy…
