Race Report: Dippikill Froggy Five Miler

running, travel / 17 Comments

On Sunday, we didn’t have a morning run scheduled – just the race at 9 AM – so breakfast was early (7:30) and then we had free time just to pack, relax, and get ready. Because I had been so tired for the last few days, I planned to sleep in until 8:30 or so, and then just grab something light for breakfast, because I’m not used to eating much before running. Unfortunately, my stupid body clock roused me at 6:45. I took my time getting ready, and then headed to the lodge after all to hang out with people …

Running Camp Debrief

running, travel / 27 Comments

On the way up to camp, I realized I forgot a towel. Fortunately, we passed a great Family Dollar in the town of Warrensburg where I was able to get two huge beach towels for only $5 each. Score! I arrived at camp a bit early, so I made up my bunk. I was staying in a bunk room with ten other campers… it was totally like going back to band camp in middle school (yes, I went to band camp). As the other campers started arriving and we got to know each other, we joked that it was like …

Margaritas and fishbowls of alcohol are good for carb-loading, right?

running / 13 Comments

Had an amazing birthday party last night. It’s been a while since I’ve seen a lot of my friends, because I’ve been out of town so much. But SO many people came, and I just had a perfect time! Got drunk – but just the right level of drunk, where I was having a great time but not making an idiot out of myself. I absolutely love the frozen drinks at Dallas BBQ, and we got fishbowls at Brother Jimmy’s after which I had more than my share of! I’m racing on Sunday morning, so last night was supposed to …

Impulsive moves: joining a running club and signing up for two 5Ks

running, travel / 11 Comments

Still not done with the marathon race report, but I did accomplish some running-related things tonight: signed up for two 5Ks, attended a pasta party for one of them, and joined a running club! Tomorrow is the Freihofer’s Run for Women, an annual 5K in Albany that attract a ton of elite talent every year. I’ve been attending since I was little, and last year was my first year running it. Basically everyone in the area who ever runs even 1/4 mile at the gym always does it, so last year I figured I’d throw my hat in. Unfortunately, with …

Run and sun and fun

Uncategorized / 7 Comments

Yesterday morning when I woke up, I went for a run. I like running in new places, and who am I to let a little 80 degree sun and 84% humidity get in my way? Well, at least until the second mile of my run, when I wussed out and turned back, completing a paltry 3.2 miles. In my defense, I had been planning a 10 mile loop but got lost after the first mile, so I took a different route and had no idea where I was. I clearly only turned back because I was scared – Marco Island …
