Well, that's Marathon Training

Today I had big plans to run 18 miles. My week was a little busy with training, fundraising and charity meetings that I felt extremely tired and I ended up only running 16.5 miles. My body was in pain for the entire run, but it was a gorgeous Spring sunny morning. It was my first warm Spring day to run so I didn't want the agony of my pain to be an issue, I kept telling myself it was a beautiful day to run, with some pretty funny people, and that I'm training for the Boston Marathon and I have tons of people cheering me on. Hehee No, no one was on the sides of the roads in Southborough, but I could hear them loud and clear from Wednesday night at Owen O'Leary's.

Owen O'Leary's Fundraiser was a blast. I can't thank you enough if you took the time out of your busy week to stop by. It means so much to me!

Anyway, I finished the run and fell immediately into a snow bank. I love Massachusetts. We're running in 60 degree weather, but with the convenience of snow banks for easy relief. When I came home, I finished reading my book while 'snowing' my shins in the snow banks outside my apartment. sweet, right?



Everyone at the GFRC is really helpful. They all gave me tons of advice for all my aches and pains, and I think I'm on my way again...

Anyway, you can check out pictures on the shutterfly from my fundraiser. Enjoy!
