I was somehow able to avoid being productive at work today, yet still managed to have a big dollar day in my territory, so that's a win. I also got the best Cobb salad today for lunch. I'm once again trying to avoid grains. I swear, one of these days I will do more research on anxiety/depression and grains. But until then, doesn't this look amazing?
See? I can be healthy! |
I entertained myself chatting back and forth via email with T about our upcoming marathon plans.
First up: NYC, baby!
Okay, I'm getting really excited about this. I can't think of a better city to run a full marathon than NYC. (I found a blog entry with great pictures about the NYC marathon today. Do I ever work?) Most importantly, I really need to think about what sort of tattoo I will need to fully commemorate the occasion. There's no way I'm running 26.2 miles and not getting inked. I nearly got a tattoo the last time I was in NYC, but that never came to fruition, so I won't miss out on that one again. I really like the idea of Roman numerals, except will the decimal thing be weird?
My stomach will never look like this...(source) |
I also found this little gem while I was abusing the Google Image Search feature. I think this girl must have been an extra in the movie Avatar.
Holy shi*t. (source) |
Second: Goofy Challenge 2013
A half marathon Saturday + a full marathon Sunday = 39.3 Miles
Running through all 4 parks? Magic. Or death. Maybe both.
Can. Not. Wait. (source) |
Third: Paris or London
I had actually researched the Berlin half marathon sometime last year, but then life happened and I put such ideas away until T brought it up today. My vote is for Paris, but I love London, too, so I would do either. (The London medal is one of the worst, though, and if I'm hitting up the international scene, do I really want a super ugly medal to commemorate the event?)
How cool is this? (source) |
I went from thinking I was never, ever, ever going to do a full marathon to planning three. One of which immediately follows a half marathon the day before.
I guess I better up my training from meandering around the neighborhood for a couple of miles to something a little more serious.

And with that, I'm off to bed to think about far away places, aching legs and tattoos. Sleep well!
i really hope we like running in nyc, otherwise we're going to be reneging on our big plans for the next six months! i guess worst case we'll just be taking a walking tour of backwoods wdw and paris, but i'm just going to hope we actually *like* doing this shit, bc that would be way better :) reading all this is scaring me, and it's not even april!
