HOLY EFF! I’ve seen the first picture before but the second one is too much. Haters gonna hate.
Is this creeping on the sidebar of anyone else’s dashboard?
HILARIOUS.
Today is actually my dog’s 4th birthday – so I’ve been blowing up my facebook with pics of my Freddie. I suppose I’ll blow up tumblr with a post of someone else’s dog.
The Awkward Runner
(It’s just for kicks and giggles— better to be running funny than sitting on the couch 😉
I like to think I”m a combination of all of these running styles.
I just LAUGHED MY ASS OFF watching this. I’m totally the runner in the middle with the striped shirt, but I observe all those types at races. God love us all!
Last Week: 181.6
This Week: 184.4
Change: +2.8
This is a TEMPORARY setback. I’m hoping to see the low 180s before this weekend.
Measurements. The first number was 1 week into Shred, the second number after I completed Shred on Sept 21, the bolded number is today, followed by the change. My upper thighs and above knee are the big winners. The other numbers are so subjective.
Just ONCE I would like to not have terrible race photos. I love how I feel like a badass and look like a hot mess moving in slow motion. Whatever I ran 13.1 suck it haters!
My finish line picture doesn’t depict how pissed I was. I kept looking at my watching going WHY GOD WHY.
Also what possessed to me put my guns up and bite my lip and overall look constipated in those 2 pictures. The girl behind me is embarrassed for me, yet is giving a thumbs up. Thanks for taking two there race photog.
Enjoy the terribleness!
How fun are these?!

Made it to spin class aka got there hella early.
I forgot to mention in my recap that one of my spin co-instructor’s also ran the same half marathon that I did this weekend.
She gave me and my PR a shoutout before class started. Everyone in the class clapped for me!
Then I kicked spin class’s ass.
So on Saturday after my race and my nap I FINALLY watched Spirit of the Marathon. I got it from Netflix like 6 weeks ago and never made time. Well watching it post-race was perfect. I laughed, I cried, I didn’t feel like us in the tumblr world are the only crazy runners out there.
I CANNOT WAIT to run 26.2 – I’m pretty sure I’m going to have the biggest and dopiest smile on my face most of the race. I also will totally cry before/during and after I cross the finish line.
I recommend watching it for sure.
My first “official marathon training” run is tomorrow. An easy 3 miler. Today’s plan is spin and to get there EARLY to make sure I get a bike and don’t have a melt down like last week 😛
Here’s a picture of my sweet finisher coin and medal. Coins are a big deal in the military so I’ve learned. These are both legit. I came THISCLOSE to wearing my medal to work today.
And for those of you who may have missed it over the weekend. Here’s my Race Recap.
UPDATE: I posted this a week or two ago and wanted to make sure people saw it. I looks like after December is best for people. I’m closing the Poll tomorrow, so please let me know if you can make it!
Calling all NYC fitblrs and those near NYC.
I will be at my Mom’s on Long Island for some time around Thanksgiving and Christmas. I have casually mentioned organizing a meet up last year, but I’m committed because you guys have been such a big part of my life now for 1.5 years and I would love nothing more that to continue grow our relationships. Especially when I hope to move back to the northeast ASAP. Please fill out the doodle poll and based on which date(s) are popular we can go from there.

There are additional instructions on the doodle. It’s open to anyone who will be in the NYC area or willing to come to NYC area over the holidays!
To paraphrase Barney Stinson on HIMYM, whenever I feel sad, I just stop being sad and be awesome instead.
I may have went on an OKC date tonight and may have gotten a goodnight kiss. It was different, but exciting nonetheless.
File this under: life goes on. fake it, till you make it.
