I have gone on two runs since Chicago, and both were amazing. I remember in the weeks leading up to the marathon, running a few miles seemed like such a chore. I felt tired, and heavy, and like 4 miles was impossible. After the horror that is 26 miles, a four mile run is basically like a 40 minute party of super awesome happy fun time.
I love not running 26 miles.

| I'm really good at NOT running marathons! |
Speaking of marathons, our blogger brethren of north will be running their first marathon this weekend! Go wish Sarah and Alicia good luck on their first marathon this weekend!! I know the weather has been questionable this week, so keep your fingers crossed that the rain stays far, far away! You're going to do great ladies!!
And it looks like Bill is finally getting some nice weather for what is sure to be a PR marathon on the east coast. Having also survived a super hot marathon this year, it's long overdue!
Is anyone else racing this weekend? Or would you rather watch Hocus Pocus with Waffles and I? I make great stovetop popcorn!
I am all about doing as little as possible this weekend. Besides winterizing the house, and maybe putting out the Halloween decorations, there will be only laying around and eating. Have fun!
ReplyDeleteI am putting off winterizing as LONG as possible...i hate putting the film over the windows!
DeleteBest weekend goal EVER.
ReplyDeleteI try :)
DeleteNever heard of the movie...so, yes! I want to watch it with you! ;-)
ReplyDeleteIt's Bette Midler! You HAVE to watch it! (its more of a kids movie, but still awesome)
DeleteI've got the Belvidere Stone Bridge Marathon tomorrow - looks like we're gonna get storms. I like running in the rain, but lightning/thunder will cancel the race - I know, first world problems.
ReplyDeleteOh no!!! Last time i checked, the nastier stuff is coming in the afternoon, so hopefully any race deterring weather doesn't show up until after the last person has finished and is safely drinking a beer. I was looking at that race for next year! (Aside from the whole fam being in Rockford, i have some in Roscoe too!) Good luck tomorrow - I like running in the rain too :)
Deleteglad to hear you're back out running and enjoying it post-Chicago, Sara.....and thanks so much for the good wishes. Looking forward to tomorrow! :>)
ReplyDeleteI totally love that movie as well. Now I am going to home and check netflix for it.
ReplyDeleteI am stuffing my pie hole with stovetop popcorn as I type. No movie though. Just being playdate hostess.
ReplyDeleteYay for Dublin!
Ah, I totally agree with you on feeling like the pressure is off now that the Chicago Marathon is over. The thought of going on a single-digit run feels like heaven!!! And I have very similar weekend plans (aka a date with my couch!)
ReplyDeleteOMG. Hocus Pocus brings back some memories, FOR SURE!
ReplyDelete"I love not running 26 miles." = awesome
ReplyDeleteI think all the running mojo helped, turned out to be a mist for the marathon. I can run in that anyday :)Thanks for the shoutout, I feel so cool now...lol!!
ReplyDeleteBTW, remember loving that moving too!
I watch that movie every Halloween....I have it on DVD. It is awesome. You rock.
ReplyDeleteAwww I'm just now seeing this but thanks for the mention! I had a horrible horrible day though and ended up barely finishing the darn thing. I just posted about it but if you don't want to hear a lot of bitching and whining you might want to avoid until your already in an annoyed mood.
