Last Rest Day before the Chicago Marathon!


The last rest day before the Chicago Marathon!

Random topics. First off, read Annabelle's post on why Running is HARD. Great read and much better supported by training events that my daily musings and debauchery.

And one thing I'm taking with me from this training, aside from follow your training plan and don't hurt yourself like I did, is that your body is capable of amazing things.  The things motivation does for you, gets you out of bed.. before 3:30am just to run at 4:00am. Why? because you can. Because you are bad ass.. Because you owned the paths before most people every took a morning piss. Don't think you could do it?


This is also how tired I look by the time my kid goes to bed. YOLO? (I think I used this gif before..)

Maggie, stop looking for more Ryan Reynolds GIFs, I will not give you what you are looking for

STOP LOOKING

Okay, I'll catch up blog reading soon!

Take care and Happy Friday Eve!
