Today, I was reminded why I hate going to the doctor’s. I arrived a little before my appointment time, filled out the monumental amount of paperwork required, then sat around in a crowded waiting room for almost an hour-an-a-half waiting to finally be called. What the fuck was the point of making an [...]

~ Wishing I could run. ~ Bitching to anyone who will listen about how I can’t run. ~ Lots of pushups. ~ Working crazy hours. Finishing up old contracts, starting on new ones. ~ Drinking heavily.

My running partner would sneak them in on me a couple times a month, but that was [...] One of my friends texted me yesterday and asked what pace I usually run my long runs at. I started to type back an answer with my thumbs, but quickly realized that it would be far too long of a response for a text message. So, I post it here instead: Well, what I’ve [...] My fall marathon plans are finally taking shape. I didn’t get picked in the NYC lottery (again) and so I registered for Philadelphia (again). Of course, it’s a little different this year because I’m also registered for Chicago. My plan is to break 3 hours in Chicago — I’m going to train [...] |
