Sunday morning, we got up bright & early at 5 so Lisa would have plenty of time to get ready. She brought back-ups for everything, peanut butter from home, and her foam roller. So prepared!! all set to go! I dropped Lisa pretty close to the start around 6:45, parked the car by mile 6 & [...]

I found Lisa bright & early this morningobviously lots of expo photos were necessaryExpo was actually disappointing. There wasn’t anything there I was interested in and no samples. lame. Love Park is getting ready for Christmas. about noon – we stopped at Tria for lunch. This place was super cute & the food was excellent. I [...]
I can’t

I planned to test my foot on Wednesday night by cranking out a few miles on the treadmill. (Note to self – if you have the choice between real gym with like 10 treadmills & apt building gym with 3, its much safer to go with more.) I went home threw some laundry in and tried [...]

I haven’t run (or done any kind of workout for that matter) in 3 days. I kind of hate it. Sure, 3 days isn’t really a big deal, but 3 days during race week feels huge. I want to run. I want my foot to feel normal. I want to dominate Philly. I can’t. It [...]

Remember when it was 85 degrees a month ago and then it snowed? It’s 70 out today! This weather confuses me but I’m not complaining. I’ll take every chance I can get for a nice run outside. Yesterday I attempted to do a 5 miler at lunchtime but failed to bring socks. AWESOME! (apparently I didn’t [...]
August is over

August is over. It certainly feels like it outside. We’re bordering on fall weather and I’m not sure how I feel about it. I don’t think I’m quite ready to let summer go yet. I never get tired of this though. (this is also how I feel about fall and the fact that I’m going back to philly [...]
HLS – lessons learned

1. strangers aren’t that scary. I went into this nervous as you all know, because I’d never met anyone else that was attending. I arrived at the hotel, checked in at the front desk, and made a friend waiting for the elevator. Took a whole 5 minutes. Nice to know that I wasn’t the only [...]
HLS Part 3 – Sunday
Posted in HLS, love, tagged early morning, motivation, philly on August 23, 2011 | 9 Comments »
Saturday night was so much fun! I stayed out pretty late, having a crazy dance party with a bunch of seriously awesome bloggers. So Sunday morning’s 8am fun run seemed awfully early. 7am wake up, not ideal. Most of us ended up walking and talking through some of the touristy parts of Philly. Much better [...]
HLS Part 1 – Friday

I have so much to catch up on. There is no way I can put this weekend into 1 post. Friday morning – I got up for a 5 miler. I almost always run the Esplanade, but decided I needed to explore more, so I set out to the Harborwalk. I didn’t know it existed [...]
