- Chicago Marathon? If you’re running this year and interested in a blogger meet up, let me know. Since I’m a home-town girl, I thought I’d take a stab at arranging a little something, most likely Saturday, 10/6.
- Speaking of marathons, despite 2 pain-free, post-injury runs, I’m trying to block out how much time I have left to train for The Marine Corps Marathon (less than 2 months). Good thing my only goals are to enjoy the scenery and finish in an upright fashion.
- View from the yoga den at 5:55 this morning. It was actually darker out there than it looks. Apparently the mosquitoes were still asleep. That’s a good thing.
- You’ve all heard of the RW running streak. Well our dogs are on a poop-in-the house streak that I’m not too crazy about. They’ve been quite successful with it. Don’t let their innocent faces fool you. Maybe I’ll make them a badge or something.
- Speaking of poop. Oh wait, not poop, MUD. Chicago’s first Pretty Muddy 5k is just over 2 weeks away. It’ll be my maiden voyage through mud. Lots of my friends will be there. I’d love it if you were too! Register here and use code HealthySliceDisc to save $10!
Have you ever done a mud run? Should I plan on throwing my shoes away?
I did the PA Tough Mudder in April and I loved it. It was a lot of fun. Wear old sneaks and hopefully you can donate them at the end (that’s what TM does). You’re going to have a blast. I can’t believe it’s almost September!…time is flying by. Have a great day! 🙂
As gross as it is, I feel like pooping in the house is better than peeing. Both are bad, though.
I met a girl on her long run the other day who is running Chicago. Hope you guys have a great time at the meet up!
I’ve never done a mud run. I’m too clumsy and afraid I’d really hurt myself for other running.
I WILL BE THERE!! Woohoo!
I don’t have to actually RUN the race though, do I? Can I just do the meet up and have fun without the race involved? 🙂
Me ME ME!!!
(And Jill – I will come to CO to get you if you don’t show up 🙂 )
No mud runs for me yet – I am so curious to hear about your impressions of one…
If you want to participate without running, join us at the Lupus Charity Runners tent at Adams and Laflin, mile 14 – 38,000 runners, quite a spectacle – we’ll raise some joyful noise for them!!
I keep toying with the idea of doing a mud run. Can’t wait to hear what you think!
I’m in for a blogger meet-up! Yay for Saturday before the race.
I think you should send a pic of your dogs to dog-shame.com 🙂
I’m so sorry that I’m terribly behind on reading blogs. While I’m sorry to read that you’ve been rehabbing in the pool, I’m very interested in it as I have a stress injury on my shin bone. It didn’t fracture but I’m stuck in the pool water running when I should be ironman training. I would love any advice that you have and to know if you feel like you lost fitness. I’m using a water belt but it sounds to me like you didn’t? Good luck and I’m happy for you that you are back to running outside!!
I haven’t done a mud run but they do sound like lots of fun!
Pups are cute 🙂
I’m always up for a blogger meet-up! Let me know if you want help promoting it through the Chicago Running Bloggers site and FB page.
