Running is for Crazy People: Marathon Thoughts

My friend and running buddy, Jessica, posted this on her blog.  It is pure greatness! Thank you, Jessica!

Running is for Crazy People: Marathon Thoughts: "Pete over at Runblogger just posted this on Dailymile. Stop whatever you are doing and watch it right now. Hilarious. THANK YOU ROB THOMAS!...my new battle cry."

Thank You Pandora

First song on my Pandora this morning was Florance and The Machine's Dog Days Are Over.
Turning this regular Friday morning into a dance in your cube kind of morning.  I am sure my cube neighbors think I have lost my mind...at least I didn't start singing along.

Happy Friday!

26 Reasons to Run 26 Miles

I love this video! While there are some reasons I can't relate too, others I totally understand. I LOVE number 8:).

The Aftermath

Not sure what I did but I did it good…The aftermath from White Rock

After the White Rock marathon, I took two weeks off from running to give my body a chance to recoup. Two Saturdays ago, I thought I would go for an easy 3-mile run to jump-start my training for the Cowtown half marathon. I was very, very wrong…I didn’t even make it to the end of the block (which is only three houses down from our house) and my knee started hurting. So here I sit at the doctor’s office with a little electric acupuncture.

From The Daily What

Christmas Miracle of the Day: From The New York Times comes the heartwarming tale of a charming couple from Chelsea who mistakenly received hundreds of letters addressed to Santa and decided to try and fulfill them.

Happiness - The Greatest Gift

The Good, The Bad and The Ugly of Marathon Running

The Good: 

• Shiny new medals
• Lots of new friends (who are equally as crazy about running as I am, if not more crazy.)
• New "wardrobe" - I love my running clothes. I wish my job would let me wear running clothes to work...
• The Expos

The Bad:

The approximately $500 that was spent to get my IT Band to cooperate so I could run and receive shiny new medals.

The Good and The Bad: 

I need new pants... 

"Pants, like pants that you wear!" - S. Wagner

Running means smaller waist but bigger booty which equals pants buying dilemma.  

The Ugly:

Yep, those are my toes. 

The big toe is a “souvenir” from the Marine Corp Marathon and the index toe is from White Rock.
