It’s not every day you get to PR your marathon by 1 hour 16 minutes and 15 seconds. Final time: 4:43:55. I’m in total shock!!!
Killed it! So proud of you!!
So, so awesome!
two-o-nine is a rock star. She KILLED this marathon. I’ll let her post about it, but, I had the best time cheering her on with sleepruneatrepeat and runningforme and Andrew today.
Way to go Brooke! You’re amazing!
I love the internet. I have missed Susie sleepruneatrepeat since last year. So good to see her and watch this race with her and Andrew two-o-nine’s husband!
Watching Marathons > running Full Marathons any day!
BRB, I’m going to go watch a marathon.
I’m so proud of you already two-o-nine! Have fun and good luck!

good morning beautiful
Well, good morning to you too Gray Face! Whoever is leaving these wonderful messages is pretty great in my book! 🙂
I’m not a great sleeper.
However, I did get a 5k in before most of the world is awake, so there’s that I suppose…
Like Sam at runningfortheriesling said, I have no idea why I think you all need to see what I’m wearing every day, but suddenly I have. Perhaps it’s because I really like my outfits? I don’t know. Whatevs.
Today you get to see my pride and joy: my Kate Spade purse! I love her. So very much.
Thursday Things:
- I went to the weight lifting class again last night-we did different muscle groups. Today all I could think was “TRICEPS!!” They hurt. So bad.
- It has been raining for a few days here now. I’m about to build an ark.
- 2 Months since I’ve left the Ocho. Would you believe that I really don’t miss news? I don’t! I think (know) I was burnt out on it. I still want to stay informed of what’s happening in the world, but I don’t have to know everything that’s going on. Make sense?
- That lemon-Blueberry bread I made the other day? Fan-freakin’-Tastic. 10/10 I will make it again.
- I don’t have a race scheduled for the first time since last year. Feels good to just run for fun as opposed to training. I’m hoping that continued weight lifting will make me stronger and able to set a new PR for the Lincoln Half next May.
- I’m so glad tomorrow is Friday! I get to see two-o-nine, runningforme, sleepruneatrepeat, jordan-gets-fast, and trivialbob again and finally meet mrstrivialbob!!!! YAY!
Happy things on a Thursday indeed. Have a great day friends!
I’m calling this “Wonder Woman Wednesday”
Pardon the weird selfie, but I wanted you to see my skirt!
In random Wednesday things:
-I’ve been called “Martha” 3 times by callers since I started working at this new job…do I really say Melissa with that much of slur? I don’t know. Whatever.
-Last night’s weight lifting class at the gym kicked my butt in terms of my thighs and shoulders. We did these agonizing moves to tone inner and outer thighs, when we were done every one of us collapsed on our backs and let out a collective groan. Pain is gain I suppose.
-Busy few days ahead before Minneapolis! Yee-haw!
I came home to find a package on my doorstep. I was immediately excited, but couldn’t remember ordering anything…until I opened it and found this hoodie and realized I didn’t order anything! runrunningrunner sent it to me for the Tumblr Hoodie Exchange!
Thank you Rupert! I LOVE it! It’s a perfect running sweatshirt…or just lounging about shirt! Thank you so much! You’re the best!!
