photo via runtothefinish.com and Pinterest I would rather sit home today and watch Sandra Bullock movies and eat ice cream. However, I still have 5.5 miles to get under my belt. A few minutes on Pinterest, and I’m feeling slightly more motivated. Out I go.
Tuesday Tell-All
My brain has been feeling overloaded and soggy all week long, and I blame it on the lack of brain dump that is Tell-All Tuesday. So here you go. *For the first time since starting the marathon training, I don’t want to go running. I blame the fact that I’ve been sitting in a student …
Marathon Training, Week One
Have you ever run so far that you threw up? Me neither, but I sure came close today on mile 6 (I somehow knew that eating Denali mint fudge tracks ice cream minutes before we left was a bad idea). I’ve never been a runner. When I was in my early teens, I developed a sudden …

Book #18: A Christmas Carol
Title: A Christmas CarolAuthor: Charles Dickens# of Pages: 110 This novella has been on my to-read list forever, and, when I found out how short it actually was, I was sheepish that it had taken me 25 years to finally get around to it. I mean, this is probably the most quoted Christmas text next …
