2. Blog friend Elizabeth from Running for Bling is running RnR Nola in February with Team in Training. She has raised around $10,000 for LLS over the years, and this time she will be running in honor of her super cute cousin Cooper, and Gab.
If you have a second, go check out her TNT story, Cooper's story, and help find a cure for blood cancers.
3. So.... the kids are at school. And I'm just.. hanging out. Running, some, cross training, watching an excessive amount of tv, baking.... I don't really know what to do with this nonsense called "free time". I woke up and kind of wanted to run today, but it was a rest day.
I don't even have anything on my race calendar right now, besides Tink in JANUARY.
What?! I don't even recognize myself any more.
If ever I were going to train for another marathon, I suppose now would be a good time, since I seem to have ALL THE FREE HOURS EVER. I previously intended to add Paso Robles Marathon to my calendar, but with me being unemployed, it feels like kind of a jackass thing to do right now - spending a weekend away chasing a race. I've kind of checked out local races, but I'm just not really feeling them. Well, the exception to that is Carlsbad, which I'd LOVE to do, but it interferes with Tink. Womp.
Anyway. That was a lot of words to say I'm kind of bored?
But I have perfected a banana muffin recipe, so at least there's that.
You could do the Catalina Half-Marathon on the 28th or 29th (I forget exactly which day it is). It's trail and you might see some buffalo!
ReplyDeleteI bet it does feel strange to have all that free time! Good luck with your marathon training coming up.
ReplyDeleteI love banana muffins. But its time to start making pumpkin flavored everything, haha. Good luck with your training.
ReplyDeleteHappy Friday the 13th.
