Yeah, we all think he’s a nice guy. But take a look at this photo of Marathon Man from last weekend: Can’t spot him? Here’s a close-up: That’s right – our friend, S, caught Marathon Man man-handling a slow-poke runner out of his way!! Awesome. When confronted with the photo…after we all stopped laughing…Marathon Man […]
Running
By the Numbers
My 2nd half-marathon. Final time: 2:40:09 Last year: 2:46:24 Not a bad race – not a bad race at all. So much for feeling unprepared! You can tell that I knew it was a better race even as I was on the last .1 mile turn: I’ve noticed that when I run, it’s all about […]
Let’s Just Get Something Clear…
…we’re barely ready. Here we are, at another race on another weekend in another city. And I must say, that after all these years, you’d think we would have our act together. But no. We didn’t pack until late last night (after the Mavs game), the best friends arrived late, we left a bit late […]
10 on 10-10-10
This weekend, The Boy ran his first marathon of the 2010-2011 season: the first annual Tyler Rose Marathon. He wasn’t really trained up for the event, but wanted to run because Tyler is his hometown. There are kinks in any new marathon, and the Rose was no different, plus it was 88F by the end […]
The Boy Made Me Laugh
Ok, so this actually happened on Friday but I’m just now finding time to jot it down… Friday morning, we got up with the alarm at 5 a.m., as usual. I headed to the kitchen to make coffee. A few minutes later, I heard a rattling of bags and turned to see The Boy, dressed […]
So I Can’t Keep a Secret
I am the worst at keeping secrets from The Boy. I guess that’s a good thing, right? Husbands and wives aren’t supposed to keep secrets from each other. Unless it’s a gift. Then I’m pretty sure you’re supposed to keep that a secret until the gift is opened. But like I said – I’m the […]
On the Run (Literally!)
April 24, 2010 – Marathon Season (2009-2010) comes to an end for Marathon Man with the running of the 10th anniversary Oklahoma City Memorial Marathon. Cool and cloudy to start (6:30 am) and balmy and sunny to finish (just a few hours later), the conditions could have been better. But OKC fans know how to […]
Runner’s Problems
Ben is worthless – completely worthless. I decided to prop my feet up and Ben promptly snuggled next to me – fully body hug against the foot. Shameless. When The Boy started rubbing him with his foot, Ben broke into a loud purr. Disgusting. Anyway, he was acting so cute that I had to take […]
I Feel The Love
Who says that Rainy Days and Mondays always have to get a girl down? It rained all day in Dallas. And it was a Monday in every sense of the word – literally and metaphorically. And while at the orthopedic surgeon’s office, I learned that my Bum Leg is officially Medial Tibia Stress Syndrome. Definitely […]
