Training for Delaware
Training for Wilmington has begun. I bought some new running shoes and have been doing a variety of different forms of cardio / cross-training in the last 2 weeks. I haven't found a consistent, steady plan to follow yet at this time, but I'm working on it. Delaware is March 15.
I don't feel terribly out of shape, though; actually, I'm feeling ( Read more... ) -

I have met my goal!
I have now run my 1st full marathon before my next birthday. Yesterday I completed the Walt Disney World Marathon in Orlando, FL.
YAY!
Now to keep hitting those states, but I'm going to take a brief vacay...

Lots has happened...
since my last public post!
Sorry to those who read and then I go and put the lock on it!
In brief:
I really liked Texas
- I didn't get a hat
- I ran a pretty good race, but messed up my left foot
- I have now realized that my recently purchased running shoes (that I had worn before then!) are the culprit, because when I wear the old running shoes, the ( Read more... ) -
Fun Weekend!
this weekend has been quite enjoyable...
Went to see the Nets take on the Stones, and though the Stones lost on Friday night, it was fun to a) see Iverson's debut and b) sit 6th row, courtside at the game! We felt very VIP, espec. when we were given gifts by the accounts manager (who arranged the seats for us :)).
Liz flew in yesterday and already ( Read more... ) -
Vacay coming to an end...
So our term break is just about over, and I had a good time.
I went to Michigan from Friday - Tues (the 28th), and I got to spend a lot of time with the fam and the girls. That's always a good time. Makes me uber-jealous they can hang out whenevs.
Have spent time with the BF and Jess (from work) since I've returned. We've had a nice time just ( Read more... ) -
Back from State College...
And although I did not expect anything (why should I?), I hate when I am given a glimmer of hope from our offense (or defense). The first 20 or so minutes of the PSU/UM game was amazing. That stadium (Beaver) is LOUD, and to hear it go silent is pretty awesome. It almost became a "here we go again" for PSU...
Until their game woke up and we ( Read more... ) -
Remember that time...
well, maybe Missi does, but remember that time when Ohio State lost to Northwestern and had this uber-crappy season and all we kept saying was, "You lost to Northwestern?!?!?!?!"
Our current season status was that x 1,000,000.
I mean, Toledo?
If we wouldn't have won against Miami (OHIO!), we would have lost ALL of our non-conference games...and back ( Read more... ) -
catch-up...
Let's talk about the Michigan / Wisconsin game. Yes, I was there. And it deserves a moment of reflection.
It was ridiculous. I had no hopes riding on this game. I believe my words to JSchrein were, "Wisconsin is going to win. By a lot."
And then, they didn't.
The offense should totally do the defense's laundry until Penn State weekend. No, ( Read more... ) -
I really need to go to sleep right now...
I am so unbelievably exhausted. Everyday. And it's only day 4. 189 days left...179 if I take all my personal days ;)
Okay, so I'm being overdramatic. It's just, it's a lot of kids. A LOT OF KIDS. My room isn't too big, either, and they haven't really been that under control for anyone (including enrichment teachers). It will be a lot of ( Read more... )
