It’s no secret that I am a numbers freak. Not only does my job revolve around numbers (CPA!), but I generally just love them when it comes to pretty much anything. Obviously that includes running. My running spreadsheet (yes I have a running spreadsheet) has columns of data with sums, sum if formulas and pivot [...]

Anniversary Run
I have so many blog posts to catch up on now that the blog appears to be back in order. But first, I have to interrupt those posts because today, August 3rd, is a special day in my little world. Four years ago on August 3rd, I crossed the finish line of my very first [...]
Longest Run {Yet}
Today I ran 28 miles, which is the furthest I have ever ran. For now. It was anything but easy. I have every other Friday off work which is making ultra-training life so much easier with these crazy back to back long runs. It gives me an extra day to actually have somewhat of a [...]
Four
Just like I celebrated my 4th runniversary last week, today is another milestone. My blog is celebrating it’s fourth birthday! I decided to start this blog back when I first started running to keep my family and friends updated on my training as I was fundraising. I had zero idea that there was a “blogging [...]
The First Mile
It was February 9th, 2008. I woke up with a nervous stomach, not sure what to expect from this adventure I was about to embark upon, not sure if I even wanted to go at all. It is always easier to talk about doing something, but to actually commit to doing something is a whole [...]
Any Run
Happy National Running Day!!! Today I had a hard time getting out the door. I had evening plans, but just couldn’t get my run to happen this morning. Then after not getting off when I hoped, I was afraid I wasn’t going to have time to get my run in at all! On a side [...]
1,000
Today I crossed the 1,000 mile mark for 2011! The best part is I did it on one of my favorite runs, in one of my favorite cities and with some of my favorite running friends! After a week of blah running I knew I needed a little soul refresher, so when Alyssa texted me [...]
Seven Hundred
Wow here we are at post SEVEN HUNDRED! Seriously how did I get here? It seems like just yesterday I started this little blog to keep my family up to date on the crazy marathon thing I decided to sign up for. Who knew that I would still be here, 10 marathons later, 700 posts [...]
Double Digits
I still remember the very first time I ran 10 miles. It was such a big deal to me to be in the “double digits” and it was when I knew I really loved running. Before that day I couldn’t imagine actually running that far and it was a really big obstacle for me to [...]
