We finally purchased a chaise for our computer room. Now I don’t have to prop myself up awkwardly in
the desk chair while I watch TV shows online.
Zoey is a big fan of it too.

You didn’t think I’d go to the city and skip the Dairy
Queen, did you? Since there wasn’t one
within reasonable driving distance, we only went once, but we each got our own
blizzard.
You’ll also notice that it was sunny and beautiful on Monday, just one day after the marathon. It was also like this for Green Bay too. Last night, I was at a party with the race director of my next marathon. I told her to prepare for a flood because I bring bad weather to my goal marathons. She told me I'm not allowed to run the race. haha.

Now I’ve saved the best part for last. What is better than Dairy Queen, you
ask? Finally meeting my racing buddy,
Megan. Usually I tie myself into a big
knot of anxiety when I meet someone for the first time, but I felt like I already
knew her from her blog. We spent a few
meals together with our runner entourages and chatted about all things
runner. Megan, her husband John, and
father-in-law, Vince had so many fun runner stories and experiences that it was
the perfect amount of enthusiasm the night before a big race. We also chatted about how the race went at
lunch on Sunday. It rocked. If you ever get the chance to meet the
fabulous (and fast!) Megan, you definitely should.

Oh how I love my Merrell lightweight hikers. And my sandals. I would go crazy in that outlet.
Hey Karen! Thanks for your comment about my marathon and speed training. I didn't know your email so wanted to comment back this way. When you do mile or 800 repeats how do you do those? And for my goal time, I appreciate your perspective. I think you'd be right that it would be a major bummer to be disappointed in a time when I should just be proud to be finishing my first full. I have such a hard time not tying a goal time to something. But I think you're probably right. Thank you. And congrats on your race at CIM. That picture looks crazy, and I heard from other runners that it was quite the mess.
"So I didn't just go to Sacramento and run the marathon." Love the attitude. Your outlook and perspective maybe the best tool in your training arsenal. Good score at DQ!
I said the same thing on Monday - we left early for work (around marathon bus time) and I said, well wouldn't this have been a perfect day for a race...oh well!
You make me smile :-) Was just writing about you in a post and realized I haven't caught up on all of your posts recently! Can't wait to see everything you accomplish in 2013, we will definitely meet up again, and next time the weather will smile on us!
