*************************
11 miles this morning… 5 with kylie, 6 with emma. my legs felt really good, even though i was slow, but slow on purpose. lately the first mile or 2 they just feel tired, a little sore and slow, but today i felt like i had an extra spring in my step!
it’s staying dark a lot longer now, so kylie and i were running in the dark for a number of miles. something about having a 100 pound rottweiler with me makes me feel a little safer
11.0 miles/1:44:10/9:28 avg pace
I also do a lot of math in my head while running.
Glad I'm not the only one.
I'm sure people move across the street when you are out running with Kylie!!! I know that feeling and Velcro is only 50lbs-but looks like a fox or coyote!!
First of all…you've never seen the Star Wars movies??? The original ones, correct??? Woman-you MUST see them!! It's mandatory!!
Greek Yogurt ROCKS! I have one every morning with blueberries, raspberries and grape nuts! Yummy!!!
happy 300th post!
Great post, loved all the pics, you and Chris have both transformed through your running!
Congrats on 300! This is a classic post! I love all your lists, especially your why-you-run and marathons-to-run lists. Hmmm, they are so good, I might have to steal…Haha!
happy 300th!!!!!
Love all the pics and I would like to accompany you to all the marathons listed! hehe
happy 300th!!! I love the lists and pics! They are awesome! We have a lot of the random's in common
Happy 300!! Getting the mail is usually the highlight of my day…even if I don't really "get" anything!
Fun post. I love hearing about the inner-workings of other runners…I find that runners often have a lot of other things in common…You're arms are so buff. I'm jealous.
You're obsessed about running with your pups? Yippee!
100 pounds? That's a lot of dog! I like all the pictures. Thanks for posting them.
What a great post – I hope everyone does something similar now with the lists – it was great!
Congrats on your 300th.
What a neat post! I loved reading it! Again, its so cool that you have the rohos & you have your amazing pooches to run with. I can't WAIT to meet you, the rohos & your pooches when i come out in dec!
Congrats on 300 & here's to 300 more!
happy 300! i may have to steal this idea when i get to 300. i have no idea where i am right now though…
the port-a-potty company here is called "blue moon". i haven't looked at blue moon beer the same ever since. it's quite unfortunate.
loved all the pics!
congrats on 300! i love these kinds of posts, i like prying into others' lives…ha! great lists and great pics! (i do math in my head on runs too sometimes, btw)
You guys are a great looking couple! Wine corks? That's different! LOL!
Yay for 300! Wow, your dogs are adorable
You're lucky they can keep up with you! Mine are so lazy haha.
the 11 miles threw me off…i was expecting 10! haha! Great blog post, thank you for sharing!
What a great post! Can't wait to read the next 100.
Happy 300th post! All fun things and great pictures too. I have noticed that it is taking longer for the sun to rise in the morning and that it is getting darker out sooner too:(
I love all the pictures of you & Chris, the ROHOS, and your nice doggies! Happy 300th post–here's to 300 more!
Great pix! I'm such a sucker for those pups, I swear. I would feel totally comfortable running your hounds too. I'm a freak about putting things away – especially the dishes, haaate unloading the dishwasher, it's weird.
300!
No pics of your thumbs?? ;D
Excellent list – thanks for sharing!
Happy 300! Love the post with all the facts & pics. Can't wait to see what the next 100 posts bring!
Congrats on 300!! Great list too!
Great post and congrats on 300! Love all the pics.
Happy Blog-iversary!!! Hope you don't mind but I think I'll snatch this format for my #100 post. It's awesome to get to know you alittle better through these posts! So glad I stumbled upon your blog. Looking forward to hearing more about your running adventures!
I love to collect corks too! If the cork is from a special day or event I write on it to remember and then just toss it in a vase or apothecary jar with the rest. I may never look at it again, but its a neat way to have a momento!
Congrats on 300! Thats a ton!
Happy 300th. Nice post. i like learing about you. I love learing about your quirks. I collect wine corks too. I once saw this breakfast in bed serving tray and the bottom had wine corks arranged on it. I plan one some day;)
What a great post! Congrats on 300!!!!
Happy 300th! Glad to see Boston on the list. Keep up the good running and blogging.
I heart the mail and greek yogurt too! Happy 300th. So glad you're blogging!
LOOOVE the photos of you and your hubby! So cute! And I see he makes silly faces in some of them like my fiance does ALL the time. Why do guys do that?? lol.
I really liked reading your lists, too..good song choices! And I guess I should consider myself lucky bc I wear Nike tempo shorts all day bc I work from home! In fact I'm wearing them now, lol!
WHat a GREAT Post!! FYI if you love to get mail send me your address and I will add you to my Random Cards list. I have running cards that I will send to anyone on the list at a random time. Might be fun..
Congrats on 300 posts.
If you EVER run Seattle I need to know… Because maybe, just maybe I will let myself try the hills again..
I love the pictures, especially the ones of you and your husband.
I also do math when I am running. During my last marathon, that is all I thought about.
)
And I run so I can eat, one of my favorite benefits of running a lot.!
Congrats on 300!!!! Awesome! I really enjoy reading them!
Love all the pics of the pooches! And, I think we have the same marathon running list!
Is the Maui marathon the one they do in January? I am doing that one this coming January…you should join me!
Congrats again!
Just went back and read your #100 & #200 posts, and I am offically creeped out! We have crazy things in common! I HATE fish, love dogs, CPA, Seinfeld crazy (not that there is anything wrong with that)math crazy, want a house in Tahoe, and duh…running! Maybe it's the crazy accounting thing! HA! Have a great day girly!
That was so fun to read! But I have to know why you're weird about your thumbs. And someday I'm gonna show up at your house and hog tie you and make you watch all the old Star Wars movies.
Amazing that it's 300 posts – I swear, you are made to be a blogger. I can't keep up
Congratulations on #300!
Congrats on the 300 – I love these posts!!
Loved this post!
Let me know when you run:
1) Maui & NYC (I'm coming too)
2) Portland (I'll be there spectating with my awesome signs)
If I could wear running skirts everyday I totally would! That and flipflops =).
Pics of Kylie and Emma are adorable! 'Specially the puppy one and Emma looking so proud after destroying her dog bed, I think we have one of those.
Happy 300! I love these lists you do.
wow, what a great idea for a post. here's to another 100…and another…
I'm in for Portland, Chi-town, and Maui. Let me know.
We have a lot of similar "quirky" traits. 2, 4, 6, 7, 10. Although, we're watching Star Wars now. Sloooowly. Hah.
I can't wait for the Time travelers wife either – i loved the book!
i can imagine having the dog with you in the dark is a plus. Thanks for sharing all the pictures! So cute!
Fun post!! It'll be fun to follow you and see you check all thoese marathons off your list.
I love this post and all the pics. Did those socks actually stay up while you were running?
I love that you admitted to being a runner so that you can eat (A LOT)…I'm the same way!!!
I also have an obsession with Blue Moon, Larabars, and greek yogurt. YUM! AND–Congratulations on 300!
I've always appreciated your dedication and integrity in regards to running and your blog. Here's to 300 more posts and many many more marathons!

awesome awesome post! +1 to doing math in your head while running, i also practice my foreign language skills
A beer or 3 is sometimes totally worth it before a long run. Well, I mean the night before – most of the time.
I love these types of posts!

You've never seen Star Wars?! Shame, shame.
Congratulations on #300! Thanks for sharing your experiences…it inspires me to keep up with my running!
Awesome possum!
Congrats on both the 300th post AND your anniversary of becoming a marathoner!!!
)
I love this post! And your blog! What an awesome idea for a blog post
Very entertaining. I just started training for my first half marathon, so I will definitely be following you (and your friends) for inspiration/tips. Thanks so much for sharing!
oh i love this post! i like seeing the things on this that i do as well. like collect wine corks! seriously, i do! and pretty much your 10 marathons are all the same ones i'm salivating to do. i also LOVE sober by pink to run too! and i've been going ipod/music free on my runs lately as well. it's been a LONG time since i've listened to music on a run… and there is really no reason. okay, that's it! happy 300 btw!!
i too do math while running. Or sometimes I'll see how high I can count before I lose track.
BTW – Seattle has 2 big marathons now, you'll have to come up for both.
I love all the puppy pictures! I'm still sad I didn't get to meat them. Glad you feel safe with the pups too, that is important!
YAY for 300!
Great post! What fun. I also just got the Asics Gel Kayano 15 in PINK (arrived in mail today) and I am pretty excited! I am saving them for "special" as I also recently got a new pair in the blue. Along the same lines, I clicked on your link for the Nathan fuel belt and when I saw the PINK one is on sale at Road Runner, I had to have it! How cute is that?
I really enjoy these posts!
FUN!
1. I'd totally come run Seattle or Maui with you! Though maybe like an hour behind you kind of with you… haha.
2. How the heck do you get your hair in a bun so it'll stay there for a run? I've tried this with no success. Any chance you'd do a how-to video?
3. I LOVE Blue Moon.
4. I have NEVER mowed a yard. I don't intend to either, haha.
Hi Aron, I just found your blog, and this seems like a great first post for me to read to get to know you!
I'm laughing because I just posted my first Top 10 list, and it has "My Life Would Suck Without You" too! (Though I'm a little embarrassed to admit this one.)
Also, interesting that coffee is one of your prerace things… I love coffee so much, but I've never felt like drinking it before a race or any run.
Congrats on 300 posts and I look forward to reading more of them.
Wow no kidding do you like numbers.. Love the lists! As for London DO it. With me!
Congrats on 300!
I can't believe you've never seen a Star Wars movie. I don't watch TV but I'm an action movie junkie
I'd love to have a 100# rottweiler run with me too for safety.
Awww these are my favorite posts! Love hearing about all the things you love, all the things that make you happy!
That pic if little Kylie and little Emma looking up at the camera just about knocked me over with its cuteness ♥
