Run Eat Repeat

Marathon Monday!!!

Breakfast

FacebookTweetPin
19 Apr

As you know (unless you’ve been living under a rock in blogland) today is the

Boston Marathon!

It is my dream to qualify for Boston and I really look up to all those runners who qualify. I will be watching the race today and dreaming of tackling the race myself one day 🙂

Boston Marathon random info:

– The oldest annual marathon in the world

– You have to qualify to run Boston, but you can also sign up with a charity

– The winners of the Men and Women Open Division Winners each receive $150,000

– The race is on a Monday

– Approximately 25,000 runners will race today

– The Boston Marathon course has a reputation for being one of the most difficult courses

Wanna Watch the Boston Marathon? WBZ-Boston is streaming it online!

Run: I started the day with a less than qualifying for Boston paced run 🙂 6 miles in approx 56 minutes. Um, I better speed it up if I want to get to Boston!!!

Eat: This morning I made an easy breakfast of Ezekiel muffin with almond butter and butta with stevia and cinnamon. I put too much cinnamon though and added some jelly to take the edge off.ezekiel muffin

Plus watermelon for the fruit factor.IMG_7177 and coffee for warmth. It’s cold today!coffee

Fail: Last night I realized that I made a mistake in scheduling my flights to Orlando this week 🙁 I somehow managed to book Orlando to Baltimore instead of vice versa?!?!

I fixed the mistake, but it cost me an extra $115. Boo.

I have a very long To Do list since I am leaving tomorrow at 3pm!!!  I will be in Orlando only two days and should be home by late Thursday night. I will be blogging from Florida too of course.

Stay tuned for good eats from my travels to Disney World!

See you later 🙂

THIS IS YOUR YEAR.

      One thing I really like about blog posts is that often they spark an idea in my brain. Once that happens, I feel as I must write a comment hoping it may be valuable to some people.

      Hi there! I have never commented before but I have now come out of the “lurking closet” to make you fel better about your flight booking issue…..I live in Sydney, Australia and last October I visited the US for the first time (PS: The States are so awesome and I am so jealous of all of you that can live there!!!). Anyway….I am usually the most organised person with EXTREME attention to detail. I turned up 24 hours late for my flight….I thought I was leaving Australia on Monday night but it was actually SUNDAY!!!! I had a non adjustable ticket so this cost me an extra $1500 Australian (about $1300 USD at the time). I was so devastated and that was all I could think about for the first few days of my trip. Needless to say I had the BEST HOLIDAY of my life and I am heading back in 7 weeks time. I have checked my itinerary about 50 times already to make sure I turn up on the right day this time! So don’t feel bad about your mistake at all. I love your blog and I especially love how positive you are….this is what I love the most about people in America!

      My cousins goes to school in Boston, and says it is just crazy up there. I’m sure you will be able to qualify-because you are amazing! And that watermelon looks so sweet and juicy-I need to get me some!

      I’m watching the marathon on TV right now 🙂 I love it. I also love when runners get proposed to at the finish line, it’s happened a few times and the cameras have been there to capture it 🙂 adorbs.
      I think you should totally run with a charity if you want to run the race. You won’t have to kill yourself to make a qualifying time and you get to have fun fundraisers to raise money for your charity! Do it up and you can run next year!

      Ugh, I hate airline change fees. I had to change a RT international ticket and they charged $250! 🙁

      Ugh, screwing up flights really sucks. I screwed up and made a flight at 8pm instead of 8am! It cost me $200 to fix. Now I will triple check next time!!
