Running for Me
Both my parents are still asleep and we have my 2 baby cousins staying over (2 and 6 years old).
Last one asleep, first one awake.
First flight delayed. Second flight delayed. Please let me get home tonight. I really don’t want to spend the night in Charlotte NC.
My race medals (L-R)
Brooklyn Half
Rock N’Roll New Orleans Half
Soaring Wings Half (virtual)
Mumbai India Half
B.A.A Half
B.A.A. 10K
Ragnar New York
Boston Run to Remember Half
(These 2 are on the same hook)
Somerville Jingle Bell Run 5K
Smutytnose Half – My first half marathon
I also did the RuntheBluegrass Half – our medal is a horse shoe with puff paint on it. It’s laying on my bookcase cause it keeps rusting on the wall. (getting it through airport security was hilarious!)

The Boston medals are for a 10K and a half marathon not the marathon!
The Boston marathon is put on by the B.A.A. (Boston Athletic Association) and they do 4 main races (5K, 10K, Half and full marathon) and then an invitational race every year.
Before running the 10K, I made the challenge to myself that I was going to run all 4 races. The goal was to run the 5K, 10K and Half within a year but I got sick the weekend that the 5K was held (Sunday before Boston). So that was a bust.
I am thinking of changing the challenge to be that I do all 4 races in 1 calendar year which means I probably wouldn’t be able to attempt this until 2014. I want to run a marathon (Chicago) before committing myself to another one.
April 15, 2012 - 5K, April 16, 2012 - Marathon, June 24, 2012 - 10K, October 7, 2012 - Half
My new medal hanger! Thinking that maybe I should have bought two…
Edit: I hate that the iPhone camera does this - my walls are not yellow!
Trying the Fruit Punch nuun today. (Taken with instagram)
Edit: Yummm…and it smells much better than the Strawberry Lemonade!
