Don't forget about our planning meeting.

This race isn't going to plan itself.

June 10th, 7:00
Jeannette's house

Come ready to talk about some super serious details.  Like who wants to buy a second megaphone and should one person make peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for their whole van should we just eat burritos at 9 pm again.  And other important things like that.

running 4/12......riverfront park

we survived 10 miles on saturday morning.....it was supposed to be 9 miles but we'll blame it on lori even though there were no energy drinks involved...she wanted to do the loop so the loop we did!  (i am partially to blame since there is, apparently, another trail that links the wooden bridge to the trail....whoops!)

lori and i are planning to do a 'short' run thursday evening about 6:30....we're going to meet at boone and howard and then run the riverfront loop a couple of times.....6 miles?  please join us!

Overshare

Today a few of us S2S'ers and a non-S2S'er ran over 8 miles. For the first time like maybe ever I tried not to walk when I got tired. I just powered through the hard times and I think it actually got easier. I've heard people say this and never really believed them. Now I'm a believer.

Know what else I'm a believer in? Making a crock pot meal before heading out to the run so there are no expectations from the family of me when I walk in the door.

Know what else? I walked in after being gone for like 3 hours, grabbed a beer and got in the hot tub all by myself. No one even cared. I kind of like the kids growing up, they pretty much only need me at meal times now. They were so engrossed in their game of Sequence with Matt that I don't think they even saw me. A small part of me was sad, but I quickly wiped the tear away and ran outside before they decided they needed a snack or some juice.

Now for the overshare: I think 2 bowls of taco soup after an 8 mile run was a retarded idea. It reminds me of the giant burrito I ate after my second leg of last year's S2S. When will I ever learn my lesson? My body is so gargely right now I'm afraid to stand up too quickly. Damn you food!

i'm in!

i'm in.....all i have to do is send jeannette my money......i don't know about the rest of you but i think i'm still a little bit traumatized from last year!  :)  my goal is to finish both my halves that are within two weeks of each other....and then continue with 5 or 6 miles once a week til s2s.  we'll see what happens!  i would like to be as fast as megan but i don't see that happening!  turtle girl returns!

Ladies -

We're all set up to register online. Each of you needs to go here:

Send your $70 to me when you can. I'm pretty sure no one will ever really find this blog and if they do and want to drive to my house and kill me that's a risk I'm going to take. So here's my address:

So far just Olivia and I are signed up, please don't make us each run 90 miles!

Let's see if this works better.

S2S and a Lotta BS'ers -

I've been trying to figure out a way that we could all post information, thoughts, stories, etc. online and everyone could read it if and when they're interested.

I've had a mommy blog for 6 years and this morning ON THE TREADMILL it dawned on me that maybe a blog is the way to go. I'll try and work it so everyone who wants to can publish a post. Maybe for now just email me and I'll go in as the editor and add you as a writer. Then anyone who wants to respond can leave a comment in the comment section.

If no one's into it but me that's ok. I'll just talk everyday about how much I love my treadmill and how scary the great outdoors is and you can choose to read it or you can choose to do something more productive with your online time. No judgement.
