So glad I no longer have to take the bus.

Ok, so I’m only taking one night class at the community college, but I still felt this need to buy pencils (even though I have hundreds) and a High School Musical folder (which I resisted) and take the traditional before school/new outfit & backpack & lunchbox photo (which I honored, complete with polaroid effect).
My class [...]

a 26.2 mile story in 17 minutes.

Three years ago I finished the Suzuki Rock n’ Roll Marathon. This past weekend I finally compiled all of the footage that I’d taken into a little video. I share it out here in cyberspace so that I stay motivated to redeem myself this summer as I attempt to complete a marathon in [...]

3 weeks behind

This morning I tied my running shoes and donned my get frelled t-shirt and set off for a little jog around my neighborhood. It felt great. It was like the first taste of sugar on the tongue- the feeling of walking into a warm home from the cold. I haven’t been running [...]

It was 70 degrees when I took my morning run today.
This afternoon I went to a movie with a friend and laughed with him until my cheeks hurt.
I drove through town with my convertable top down. It’s November.
Tonight comes pizza and barefeet on the couch.
xoxox everyone.
Laura. =)

I’m craving crackers!

Here’s a bunch of randomness-
I ran about three miles today- pain free (but not sweat free!) it seems that my self-imposed physical therapy is working. =)
I missed three calls from someone….Mr. no number. I have been haunted by this random calling person- who I never get to talk to, and doesn’t leave a [...]

where?

I ran in the dark tonight, and had to stop a mile and a half in because my knee was acting up (gr!)…but the rural streets were so dark, and the night sky so big that it was a treat to walk for a while. I was able to just listen. Running is [...]

I always want what I can’t have

My initial excitment at having runner’s knee has worn off (imagine that!). This ailment doesn’t bother me during the course of my regular day, but it does prevent me from training. The first few running free days were great. Now I’m jogging to the mailbox and pouting as I look at the [...]

It’s official

April 7th, 2006 No Comments

I’ve been running for years. I even ran a marathon a summer ago. I know how many miles it is to run any of the streets around my house, and the centenial trail near my house. I know which music I need to load into my mp3 player for a long run, [...]

two miles

A year and a half ago I completed a marathon (that’s 26.2 miles folks). I say complete because it’s the only verb that seems appropriate. I didn’t run the whole thing. I didn’t meet my goal. Still, after completing the marathon, my goals changed, and in retrospect I could see that [...]
