pre-long run fuel

Oh, I'm so addicted to this combo.  This here, folks, is a blueberry Eggo waffle with Crazy Richard's chunky peanut butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips. We ran 7 miles this morning so I had two before the run with a cup of coffee. I tell ya, it's was Patsy-smacking good.

so. marathon.

I need to write.  I realized that I need a place to put my life.  Weird because I never thought of myself as a writer.

This week is week 3 of marathon training.  We are all a little ill and sore which is weird and makes me worry about what's to come.  We can do this, right?  Surely we can.

First week we rand 19 miles, last week was 20 and this week is 17.  Whew. It's good but I just haven't  wrapped my head around this marathon thing yet.  And, my girls are going to KILL me for saying that.

Stay tuned for run-by-run updates!

Here's stolen pics from the first long run. Excuse my just-took-off-my-hat hair.
