Race Me
One of my very best friends, Anastasia, told me I should try running a half marathon about three years ago. I snorted and punched her and told her it would never happen. I told her I wouldn’t make it.
Carry me to the finish line, ya’ll!
And hey, look at me. I’ve completed a marathon and four half marathons. I’m borderline psychotic.

You are a SPEED. DEMON.
That is a lot of half marathons! Whatever, I still think I’m bad with my 5k
Maybe you could stop posting today so I can stop getting distracted and actually get some work done at work. Thanks.
hahaha. wait, that’s my job.
You crazy speedy girl you!
so jealous of that 5k time, forreal.
hehe
also I’m confused because the first one says November 2011? Has it not yet happened or was it in the past or do you hav ea time machine, because if so I definitely want to come with some day

OOPS. that’s supposed to read november 2009.
thanks for noticing!
Running is so addicting, isn’t it?!! Congrats on the upcoming marathon!! That’s so exciting.
I’m running a rock and roll half in October…are they fun?
Can’t wait to read more! I’m loving your blog!
I actually felt a little ripped off at the Rock ‘n’ Roll I did.. but who knows – maybe yours will be better!
I keep seeing ads in the latest RW magazine for the Shamrock Half Marathon. I’m totally jealous and would love to run that race! We have the Shamrock Shuffle in Chicago but it is a mere 8K. Maybe some day it will be a destination race?

I love this post! I just checked out the Williamsburg Half and I so want to sign up! Thanks for the inspiration.
GOOD LUCK.. rock those hills!
Are you running the half or full? (I assume the Shamrock yes???). I’m running the half, but I’m staying around for the dad to finish the full (plus-take advantage of all the free booze and such
).
