You Know You’re a Crazy Running Blogger When… #2 and #3 (double delight!)

running / 5 Comments

I caught up on my running blog reading for the last two days – it took me more than three hours. I really hope I am never away from Google Reader for a week, or I will really be in trouble. Total count: 60 subscriptions. And that doesn’t include the diet/fitness blogs, which I haven’t yet caught up on. I’ll put all of these up in some type of sidebar eventually, but I’m feeling a little lazy right now, and I have some actual work-work that I really should get going on. Also, Vanilla’s hilarious post reminded me of another …

Random Thoughts on a Friday

career, running, travel / 9 Comments

I did much better today than yesterday at the conference. After the cookie incident in the afternoon, there was another cookie incident – I had a few glasses of wine that helped me decide it would be a good idea to chow down on two more cookies for dessert. On the positive side, after the original cookie incident, I found out that my meeting actually started at 5 instead of 4, so I threw on some workout clothes and got in a quick 2.4 miles on the treadmill before showering, throwing my business clothes back on, and returning to the …

You Know You’re a Crazy Running Blogger When… #1

running / 14 Comments

Inspired by Jessica’s list of Things I’ve Learned from Blogging, and Half-Fast’s Advice for New Runners, I thought I’d start a series of posts called “You Know You’re a Crazy Running Blogger When.” Rather than one list, I’ll add a short post every time I get inspired. Today’s topic? Googling for other people who ran the same race as you. It all started when I checked my StatCounter and found that someone had gotten to my blog by searching for Manhattan Half-Marathon 2008. What a great idea! I’d love to see what some other crazy running bloggers thought of the …

Half-Marathon Race Playlist

running / 8 Comments

Everyone seems to always be asking for new music to add to their iPods to get them through a run, so I thought I’d share some of my favorites from my half-marathon playlist. I had a lot more music than just this on there, but these were the ones that really got me going. Britney Spears – Stronger “Cause now I’m stronger than yesterday…” We’ll start off with something pop-y and cliched. This came on as I was approaching mile 10, which was a little more than halfway through the second loop of the course. The longest race I had …

Race Report: Manhattan Half-Marathon

running / 12 Comments

One of my New Year’s resolutions has been accomplished: this morning I completed my first half-marathon. THIRTEEN POINT ONE MILES. I am so proud of myself. I’ve never really thought of myself as a runner – which may be because growing up I definitely wasn’t one. I couldn’t even complete the mile run in gym class; I usually walked half of it. Then I slowly started getting into jogging when I was bored in Florida, and in the summer of 2006 I completed my first 5K. When I say completed, I mean I still couldn’t run the whole thing, but …
