3 days until Race day

Posted in running, tagged , , on April 30, 2008 | Leave a Comment »

I can’t believe how fast the time has gone by.  I’m psyched for the race but also very nervous.  My dad is coming up tomorrow, and my mother and her husband will be coming on Friday.  On Saturday, we’ll all drive up.  Sunday is race day.  Afterwards, we’re all headed to St. Louis for a [...]

Countdown to Race Day

Posted in running, tagged , , on April 27, 2008 | 1 Comment »

It’s now 7 days until race day!  Boy, this has me jittery.  This week I’ve  been reading a lot of running forums and opinions about this marathon.  Although I live around hills, I’m still a bit scared of them, though not quite like I used to be.  I remember I used to see a hill [...]

I’m not sure how I missed posting about this, but here it is anyway modified to present time.
Last Monday, I finally got a good, long run in. It had been about a month since my long run, so I really needed this one mentally. I was really happy to get through it and [...]

Boston Marathon

Today marked the 112th Boston Marathon.   This is one of my long term goals.  I think it would just be really cool to be a part of the oldest marathon in history. Plus, I’ve never actually been to Boston, so it would be a good excuse to go.    So for now, I’ll keep [...]

Anxiety mounting

According to my official “Pig” e-mails, it’s now 19 days until the race.  Personally, I think these e-mails are a nice added touch to tidbits of information about the race.  I’m incredibly nervous that the time is creeping up on me.  Last week’s runs weren’t spectacular, and I was feeling a bit of doubt [...]

MRI results

Last week, I saw the orthopedic surgeon for my MRI results.   It took about 30 minutes before he came in.  Since the records are now electronic, I sneaked a peak at what he wrote from last time.  Nothing that was unusual, but it’s just always interesting to read.
He came in and actually went over [...]
