Weekend Happenings
Friday night: Friday was pretty low key! I made some home made pizza for Chris and myself, complete with some cheese from the Cheese Traveler. It was DELICIOUS and one of the best pizzas I’ve made so far! The only thing I wasn’t a fan of was the fake sausage–the lightlife brand. It didn’t even taste like sausage–just like fake meat product. At least it added a bit of a protein, but the rest of the pizza was really good. The cheese we used was mostly mozzarella but also some slices of Havarti from Demark. Chris went to the Cheese Traveler to pick up some. It was pretty fantastic on…

Highlights of 2012
I can hardly believe 2012 is coming to a close. It’s been a pretty good year, if I do say so myself! 😀 In March, Chris & I took a vacation to Florida–we visited my parents, and we all drove through the Florida Keys to Key West. The spring was a whirlwind! I traveled to New York City with blogger buddy Alicia and ran a half marathon in Central Park! May was a BIG month. I also went to Pittsburgh on my birthday to visit Chris’ parents and run the Pittsburgh Half Marathon. And we also went to California…! We went to a beach wedding and also hit up Disneyland.…

The Next Marathon
Well, the decision has been made! After having such a great experience running the Richmond Marathon, I knew I wanted to run another. This weekend I signed up for a spring marathon. 😀 On May 26, 2013, I’ll be running the… Vermont City Marathon in Burlington, Vermont. I’ve heard a lot of good things about this race and I can’t wait to spend time in Burlington! I went there once in college and loved it–I’ve always wanted to go back. I think running 26.2 miles is the perfect excuse! Bring on winter marathon training! 😀

Post Marathon Celebrations
The post marathon high is still going strong over here! I’m feeling a little bit sad that it’s over–and I’m looking for my next big goal! But right now, lets discuss the post-marathon celebrations that happened back in Richmond. The three of us hung out at the finish line for about an hour or two, stretching, etc. We decided it was time to venture over to the bag check area, which we had heard had long lines located up a hill around the corner from the finish. Honestly, walking up the hill wasn’t horrible. I thought my legs were going to feel worse than they did. The line had shortened…

Richmond Marathon
We wanted to leave the hotel by 7AM so we could walk the few blocks to the starting line. Race outfit: running tank under my Ragnar Relay tshirt, Lululemon running crops, and Injinji toe socks and Brooks Adrenalines. After applying copious amounts of body glide, making sure I had my pockets and belts filled with Gu, Stinger Waffles, Tylenol and Tums (the basics), we were ready to head out. As we were walking to the start, the 8K had already began, so seeing the runners was pumping me up! ... I managed to grab my phone out of my belt to snap a few pictures while we were up there.…
