Anyway, after all my months of moaning and groaning about wanting to just be able to relax, I've managed to finish up grad school stuff just in time to really hit the gas on marathon training. That's right, boys and girls, the Boston Marathon training season is upon us and if you drive down Comm Ave past BC on a Sunday morning, you'll see all the tights-rocking, running jacket-wearing crazies like me trudging through the snow to get their time in on the most notorious section of the marathon course. I am running with a few friends this go-round, which should help my ability to stay motivated and push my training. They're doing Hal Higdon's Intermediate II, which has double long runs on the weekends. I've never done this before but I really think it will help me in the long run (see what I did there?), as long as I don't get injured (again). My ankle is still bothering me a pretty decent amount and on my last two shorter runs, my arches have been KILLING me. Not a good sign but like an idiot, I'm again hoping that I can just push through and I'll be ok. Maybe I should actually get those orthotics my ortho recommended. Hm.
Today's Single Serving of Awesome is that the flowers Josh got me as a surprise last week are still looking amazing and they make me happy. We're also supposed to be buying our first slow cooker tonight. This is all very exciting! :-)
