Hello from Mississippi. I am staying in the “camp” with the volunteers. I was expecting a real camp, but it’s a cute little building with bunks for men and women and a communal kitchen. I ate dinner and breakfast with everyone and it was a great way to get to know the volunteers. w/o: no workout today, but I’m figuring…

Tele-Blogging
This is a pseudo-blog post through the hands of my clever and charming husband Ben… I am enjoying my tent in Mississippi and am coated in bug spray. At least its not cold like that arctic tundra called BS-timore. I ate some healthy foods and they tasted good. Here, I’m going to let Ben write some things out of his…

Day at the airport
So, after being at the airport for 5 hours I went to get on my rescheduled flight. I was then informed that it had been pushed back another 2 hours. I said, “You’re kidding right? I’ve been here since 8am.” I wasn’t even mad anymore, at that point I was a broken woman. This is me, broken…I smiled to make…

Airport Runner
I love traveling. I love the airport. I love the excited energy that buzzes around the airport. I don’t love having my first flight delayed on the tarmac 30 minutes, running to my second flight, seeing the plane is still there, but the doors are closed – and being refused on board! I ran from my first flight with my…

I am leaving tomorrow morning (early) and will be back by…

The Notebook
In case you missed it, here’s my half mary recap 🙂 The race’s results said my net time was 1:50:48 – with a pace of 8:28. Unbelievable! I am very proud of that, but still weirded out that my Garmin showed less of a distance? After extensive reflection I’ve decided to keep a Notebook of my eats for a month….

Good Days and Bad Days
We all have good days and bad days. When the “bad” days start to be a little too frequent it’s a good time to reevaluate what you’re doing wrong and what you’re doing right. It doesn’t help to dwell on the bad day. Today was one of my bad days because I didn’t eat full meals so I was really…

Frosting your waffle
It is practically a tradition for me to go to Costco on Sundays. I look forward to it even! Weirdo. So, as expected, I went to Costco today and came home with 3 new finds (I’ve been eyeing them for a while and finally had the need). Once I got home I sampled each one too 🙂 Wait, let me…

Post race Saturday – Burritos and funnel cake
Saturday evening we met up with some friends at a near-by Oktoberfest. Before we left I snacked on some carrots because I hadn’t eaten veggies all day! and some pita chips. For dinner I fueled up on an entire Chipotle burrito… Actually, this was my first Chipotle burrito (I only tried the bowl before) and expected it to change my…
