But, I know better than that, so for now I am obsessing over marathonguide.com looking for my next race 🙂 My plan for marathon redemption has to be smart because I don’t want to keep doing this to myself. These are my plans for now:…

Feed a Cold, Starve a Fever
I’m glad I don’t have a fever because I refuse to starve! But, I do have a cold. Yes, I haven’t beaten the damn thing yet. I was feeling better last night so I didn’t take any medication before I went to sleep. Then, I woke up around 4am coughing up a lung and couldn’t get back to sleep for…

What’s this sound?
Ben always jokes that I never get sick so today every time I cough I ask him, “What is this sound my throat keeps making?“ I think it’s funny.

2010 Disney Marathon Recap
I’m still alive, but not feeling great. Let me start at the beginning though… The day before the race we drove from the Sarasota area to Orlando for the expo. Ben’s brother Jon was our driver 🙂 We were all shocked at how cold it was! Jon didn’t even pack pants! The expo wasn’t amazing considering the size of the…

The miracle is that I had the courage to start
“The miracle isn’t that I finished. The miracle is that I had the courage to start.” – John Bingham I kept telling myself this today during the run since all the odds were against me on this one. After a very hard training season, I couldn’t get to sleep last night because I suddenly felt super sick. I even had…
