Frappuccino and Chicago: Nike 26.2 Countdown
First can I puh-leeze comment that you ladies are all a little crazy. By "15 miles of it" I really hope you do not mean 5 dish loops. Well, ain't nothing getting in your way after that. . . Good on'ya ladies.
Have to share 2 cute moments of inspiration from the weekend (NOT that you ladies aren't enough for me). . . So as we all know the boyfriend is training for the Nike half. Well, he's a natural - he beasted out this Saturday with a 10 miler most of it under 8 minute pace! That was the furthest he'd run EVER! So, maybe he's a natural, but he's still VERY much a newbie. Check out this exchange on his analysis of the Nike map right before we went running last week:
boyfriend: hi
me: hi
boyfriend: i have thoroughly studied the course now
boyfriend: the hills look crazy
boyfriend: but i am happy with the map
boyfriend: i am PUMPED
boyfriend: just had a frappuccino
Had to share that with y'all.
So my second moment of inspiration was my mother kicking some rear in her second marathon in Chicago on Sunday - 3:50 and she qualified for Boston. Rock on! She and the boyfriends (mine and hers) will be representin' in SF on 10/24 and they'll be at Shoreline to cheer us on for the XC race the day before.
Alrighty ladies I'm out. No Kezar for me tomorrow, but enjoy the festival of 400s. I'll be gettin' them in early doors so I can enjoy the festival of Oktoberfest in the afternoon - Cheers!

Greetings,
Shal- I really enjoyed your stories especially about the b-friend and the frap. And wow your mom's time was great.
I spent the weekend in seattle and let me just tell you all, it is so nice here! I always think (when visiting seattle), it's nice here and way cheaper - maybe I should think about moving. But whenever I get home I am like oh man we have it good here. Just some reasons why a CA girl should never move to seattle:
1. the sun- it makes guest apperances there and is always out here
2. blue sky- basically non existence there
3. warm weather and being able to wear shorts on your runs 95% of the year
4. coffee- yeah they make good stuff there but I'd go into major debt because you have to drink so much to stay happy
5. happy people
6. hills, there are way too many hills there, a flat run does not exist unless you stay on a track
7. and most importantly the impalas!
Okay, see you all tonight, md
