So a lot of peeps have asked about how the BF proposed. Unfortunately it's not a super dramatic love tale. I was thinking about making one up that would have you all gushing, but I decided against (mostly because I'm not in a creative mood). Ha. Anyway, those who are planning to propose to their ...

Run 1/17/2009
I met a new friend on my run today. I was doing 13 miles on a bike path nearby and at mile 8 a guy ran up beside me and started asking if I was training for a race. I told him which one and it turns out he is a pacer for that same race. He  is pacing the 3:40 marathoners which is waaaaay faster than ... Read More about Run 1/17/2009
Eat II 1/16/2009
I got hungry around 10:30am and didn't want to break into my lunch, but finally caved and grabbed an apple.I had a few errands to run on lunch and didn't get back to eat until close to 2pm. It's weird but my hungry kinda of went away since I had waited so long. I still ate of course... I had ... Read More about Eat II 1/16/2009
More Toe News & Eat I 1/16/2009
This morning my toe felt a lot better, it's not back to "normal", but it's not throbbing in pain so I'm happy. See my jacked up big toe on the right compared to my non-injured toe on the left - there is a blue hue under my nail. This ghetto camera doesn't really show how creepy blue it looks, kind ...

My Big Toe
So, my toe continued to hurt all day, but it hasn't gotten any worse. I did put ice on it, and it helped. I haven't taken Ibuprofen because I wanted to see how bad it hurt so I could figure out how much damage I've done. It's 10pm now and I just took off my shoe - it's throbbing, a little more blue ...

Eat 1/15/2009
For whatever reason these pics are coming out as thumbnails right now. I am just going to deal with it. I stole half of the BF's pancake and had some oatmeal for breakfast. I didn't have a naner or milk to go with it so it wasn't good. Lunch was at a small Thai place and it was so good! I got spicy ... Read More about Eat 1/15/2009
Emergency!!!
I just dropped a BIG soup can on my big toe. I hurts unbelievably bad and I don't know what to do. It happened over 30 minutes ago and I am still in major pain. The nail turned blue almost immediately, but I don't even care about that. I have ice on it right now. How can I tell if I broke it? ... Read More about Emergency!!!

Run 1/14/2009
Thank you thank you for all the well wishes :) I am very happy! Despite my big news the runs must go on - I have a marathon in a few weeks! Ahhh! I so don't feel ready, but I have been to busy smiling to stress about it :) This morning I did 4 easy miles since it was an "optional" run day. I am ... Read More about Run 1/14/2009
So, this is the big news…
The BF asked me to marry him on Sunday night!!! Â Yes, folks I managed to sucker some poor guy into thinking I am a catch. Kidding! I am really lucky. I managed to find a lumberjack/engineer with good taste in rings and a heart for loving me :) So that is why I have been avoiding you the last 2 ... Read More about So, this is the big news…
I'm avoiding you…
So, I am kinda avoiding my blog because I have a big announcement to make and I can't actually make it until I tell my fam/friends that read this thing. I don't want them to find out via blog. I am so bad with keeping surprises, so I feel that if I post something I'll just write my announcement. I ... Read More about I'm avoiding you…
Run 1/12/2009
Still weird to write 2009 for me, I am living in the past people. Today I did 4 miles on my own and walk/ran 2 with the BF. He wanted to run this morning, which doesn't happen often, so I welcomed it. I don't know how much I was actually supposed to do per my marathon training plan since I am so ...

Rest Day 1/11/2009
Finally! I made it to yoga today! I was very unhappy (that's putting it mildly) when I did not make it to yoga after driving an hour and a half after work on Friday. Since today is a rest day I made a point to make it to yoga. It was just what I needed. ... Read More about Rest Day 1/11/2009
Eat 1/10/2009
After the HUGE jambyjuice I had some cereal with some Kashi trail mix and other goodies mixed in :) Lunch was random things like chips with hummus and bread with melted cheese. The big plans for the evening were a comedy show and dinner with the BF. I love fancy dates like this every now and then. ... Read More about Eat 1/10/2009
3 Hour Tour…
So today was my last long run before my full marathon. The pressure was really on since it was my last chance to get in a long run before I have to taper back. I was nervous that I was going to have a bad run and really "psych myself out". So much of running a marathon is psychological - well not so ... Read More about 3 Hour Tour…
No Run 1/9/2009
Morning Everyone :) Today is a rest day so I just took a short walk with the perros. I wanted to do more, but I had to be at work earlier than usual so I didn't have time. I am planning to take a walk with the BF after work or go to yoga. I have so much to do today and this weekend! Today - I ... Read More about No Run 1/9/2009
