"Read Me"

-
I hands down love blogging
It let's me hold a run in my heart
I also love a great post~
So, today I thought I'd highlight
A few of my favorites


Click on the highlight to be taken to each post
Enjoy!

First up is one of the first blog posts that inspired me-
Rachel is a gifted photographer
Turned Marathoner as a surprise for her sister's birthday-
Surprise as in -didn't tell a soul -
Save her honey and a few close running pals-
The result was a runner overflowing
Words and feelings that had no outlet-
She had to "secret" blog the whole training-
The result: a beautiful inspiring post,
Diary of the Marathon 
Gave me the mantra
"I can do hard things"

Then there's that first post
That made me cry
By Pennsy
How My First Half Made Me Whole
I really enjoy Pennsy's writing style
It's real-
Honest-

Shayne's Sunday Service
aka OK_Shane
Is a must read
(I subscribe to his Sunday posts!)
The post I linked to here
Is especially encouraging if you're like me
Anxious about pace....

The next post
Not a running blog,
But oh so applicable
A friend of mine posted this yesterday
Comparison is the Thief of Joy
Made me realize that we are each other's heroes
Never forget that.

What about the utterly hysterical posts
Oh I love a silly fun post
I've been searching for days trying to find this next one---

So please sit back and laugh
jen.m.yee
Cracked me up with her post
Have You Seen My Compression Sock


And the post I'm TRYING to find-but just can't
Been searching for a silly WEEK now
Argggg just can't find it!
Anybody on the loop remember the post
You know- the one about
Going into a running store....
Totally feeling out of place
Scrawny running store workers
Looking at you like
Like you're not supposed to be there
(except for the fact you run CRAZY bunches of  miles each week)
Man- it was a good post, funny too
Think they offer some massive support shoe as an option
Just can't find it.
Please someone from the Loop help me out


And WHY oh heaven's why can't I read
Garbonzo a gogo's old blog posts????
I'm a bit put out that I can't pull up ANY of his old posts
On the account of there being
No 'Blog' tab when I'm on his profile


What about you?
Do you have a favorite post?

It's happening

Its happening... you can feel it in the air  You can see it in the way the sun hits the grasses on the side of the road Hear it when you open your door and the kids are outside playing It's running weather... I know you feel it too.  That feeling that you get when you have to lace up and get out It's been a while though A long while...  Hesitation sets in, you second guess You tell yourself it's probably nothing Probably procrastination from some more pressing projects on your plate. But I can't shake it... So I ran.  and walked.  and ran some more... and took a few pics to commemorate the beginning of the season.  Running Season.

Running Berg- the magic of a memory

Monday, October 21st I ran today-  Chose Berg Park I'd been seeing others' photos of the park  Pop up on Instagram,  Each shot  A familiar spot  Running memories Are you like that?  You'll be driving along Minding your own business And a running memory So powerful  Hits you  And you're back To that one Training run  It's like a homesick feeling Deep in your gut Only you're not sad You're j ust wishing  You were there a gain To live the moment over Berg Park pictures do that to me too So today I ran it No Garmin No Endomondo Just me  The trail And everyone else that felt  Drawn here today Walkers Runners Mommas with strollers  Puppies  Always magic here The running was easy I wondered why I'd waited so long To just be And Run for the thrill of it I miss the days when 7 miles seemed impossible And 5 made me feel like a rockstar When friends joined in on a weekend Group run And ended with coffee When I didn't know any better In awe of it all

13.1 Montage

Saturday, October 1st, 2011 I ran my 13.1 The night before, the excitement was almost unbearable. Sick to my stomach excited. Pep talking my way through the course in my mind, I wandered through my day almost in a fog. But this morning, I was calm. No emotion. This has happened to me before, and last time flat scared me. It didn't scare me this time, though, just a feeling of nothingness. I ate granola, drank a small Gatorade, water. I stuffed my pockets with fruit snacks, baby juice box in my compression shirt. Two more juice boxes would be stashed along the first leg of my run to find at the end. warm up walk out the neighborhood- It is 5:35- It is dark. All week long I'd mulled over a route for this run. Then yesterday night I realized I wasn't planning for the dark... I was in denial. I even googled the sunrise, and found the sun wouldn't even begin to show it's face 'til after 6:30, with an official rise after 7. College and High s
