With the exception of the afternoon heat, this run went pretty well. I did run out of water around mile 4, due to dumping a lot of it on my head, so I was getting rather cranky by the end of my run. I’m not a fan of afternoon runs. :(

I’m so pooped all of the time! I feel like I’m busy nonstop, hence the crumb bum blog posts. I will have a worthy blog post as soon as possible! :)

I ran 3 hot, muggy, and hilly miles. Okay well, the first half was a HUGE hill (check the elevation profile), but it totally killed my spirit. I’ve just been very exhausted from my new medical assisting externship (week numero 2). Also, my entire body is pretty sore from strength training yesterday. It was the first time I’ve done anything strength related since before the marathon. I sure paid for it! My body is legit more sore now than it was following the marathon. Haha. Boy, this post contains nothing but complaints. SHUT UP ADRIAN!

PS. Just in case anybody has missed it, I’m now training for my 2nd marathon! The Wineglass Marathon! :D

Happy Memorial Day! Taking a moment to remember my pappy. I love and miss you. Thank you to all whom have made a sacrafice in keeping our land free. You’re all amazing. (Taken with instagram)

I’m training for the Wineglass Marathon that is on September 30, 2012! :)

I just ordered this bathing suit! It’s as close to a bikini as I’m ever going to get (for now at least). My tummy isn’t pretty due to my huge weight loss, but this seems like it’ll be perfect! Plus, it’s adorable!!!!!!!!! :) I’m very much into vintage styles!

I finally got to run on the trail I’ve been dying to run on for months! This is the trail I used to run on when I did my long runs last summer. Then, construction started, and I couldn’t get to that particular entrance of the trail. They are still doing construction, but it looks like it’s now on the opposite side. I loved this run! 16 miles completed before 8:30 am! I swallowed 3 bugs, and I also had a bug fly straight into my eye. My legs felt strong minus a little glute tightness. Aside from that, I felt good.
