Welcome to my blog

I'm a 20-something running my way through Denver.

2012 Races

Denver Rock n' Roll Half Marathon (9-22) Bear Chase Trail Half Marathon (9-30)

Five Things Friday

  1. I haven’t had much motivation to blog lately.  I’m not sure what it is, since this marathon training cycle isn’t more or less exciting than the other ones.  I guess I’m a little bored of writing about running.  I also don’t have as much time to read other blogs because of my new job, so I guess I feel disconnected from the community.  I’m thinking about starting another blog without a running focus because I do love having an online journal. 
  2. Goal pace runs make me happy.  I get a lot of confidence from each of these runs.  Last weekend, I had a 12 miler with 6 miles at goal pace.  Another girl at run club was doing the same workout and we pushed each other through.  That made yesterday’s run – 5 miles with 2 at goal pace – seem like a piece of cake.image
  3. My best friend Lauren and her fiancé Dave are on their way into town.  This means a guaranteed awesome weekend.  At our post-elopement wedding reception they performed a rap for us instead of a toast, so you know they are cool.  I’m counting down the minutes.DSC_0571 (532x800)
  4. As marathon training ramps up, I get more scared of injury.  We’re going skiing this weekend.  The more time I invest in marathon training, I’m less and less willing to risk injuring myself on the slopes.  Plus I have a constant paranoia about shin pain from my stress fracture, and ski boots always make my shins achy.  I think I will be spending more time drinking bloody mary’s than actually skiing this time around.IMG_3205 (800x600)
  5. Vega is offering a free trial of their Sports System on their site!  Hurry up because it says limited supplies.  And go!
