(I'm working on the race recap and will have it up tonight!)
Miles Planned/Ran: 200±/167±
Rest Days Planned/Taken: 5/5
Highest Mileage Week: 51± M - 2x!!!
Long Runs Planned/Ran: 4/4 (Including the Marathon, cuz that counts right?)
Hill Workouts Planned/Ran: 3/3
Pace Workouts Planned/Ran: 2/2
Current Book: Would you believe, I'm STILL working on The Memoirs of Cleopatra. It is the longest book ever! 957 pages! Almost done though...
Current Shame-Inducing Guilty Pleasure:
http://www.textfromlastnight.com/ / Ya'll have probably already been to the site but it STILL entertains me to no end.
Current Colors: Blue as in Gasparilla Marathon Shirt Blue :)
Current Obsessions: As always, look no further than this here blog.
Current Drink: Forever and always H20... although that Shock Top yesterday was the best d@mn beer I ever had!
Current Song: Hot Mess - Cobra Starship; it always cracks me up and comes on everytime The Brunette and I are down at the gym. Oh to be young, dumb and drunk again...
Current Wish-List: Ya know I'm pretty d@mn content right now. :)
Current Need: For it to be 5pm so I can head over to the spa and get my massage!
Current Triumph: Shaving 12 minutes off my previous Marathon time and finishing Gasparilla Marathon in 3:56!
Current Bane of my Existence: People who pee on the seat and then don't clean it up. During a race? Acceptable. At the Convention Center during the expo? NOT ACCEPTABLE. I don't want to see your pee! End Rant... Oh wait and stairs... those kinda suck right now.
Current Goal: To bask in the after glow for at least a week and enjoy my upcoming vacation to its fullest.
Current Indulgence: Last night after the race I had: Reese's Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups, a Half of a Gourmet Cupcake, Pretzel with Cheese and some Carrot Cake and I enjoyed every calorie!
Current Blessings: As always my family, friends and boyfriend.
Current Excitement: Besides that whole marathon thing yesterday? Getting to see Spike on Wednesday and spending 5 glorious days with him!!!

What a great month for you! I can't wait to read your recap.
Cannot wait for recap. It makes me sad we don't live closer :( We must start planning your trip here!!!
third? freakin third? these people must not work for a living.
oh wait... neither do you miss vacation every 3 days ;)
since i know you're not working, you may as well get that race recap together already.
great month. bet you are on a high from the race yesterday. :-)
I had to refocus there after reading the bottom part. My eyes were hurting.
51-mile weeks!! Amazing!!
Of course, I'll be awaiting the recap anxiously. Still in awe of your time and your ability to knock off 12 minutes from your first marathon, which was already a great time.
Great month! Enjoy the high, and the massage.
Thanks, Morgan! I'm reminding myself NOT to be disappointed in my time (was aiming toward 4:30), since finishing IS awesome just in itself. My non-runner friends think I'm crazy right now for not being 100% ecstatic. Haha.
Unfortunately at work, but I'm leaving early for a massage!
GOOD JOB! YOU KICKED ASS!
Are there any goals you didn't accomplish? Sheesh you are a machine!
what an awesome week/month (all of it) for you! enjoy, and soak it up. you totally earned it. congrats again.
Way to go on the marathon! How exciting that you get to see Spike! Have a wonderful time with him. I wish I was with you at 5pm for the spa and massage :) Sounds like something I need!!!!
What a perfect month!
Great job! Congratulations.
you are a rockstar! I can't wait until you are back in Spikeville, where there is more Reese's Dark Chocolate than you can imagine. and boxes of boxes of Girl Scout cookies.
You are amazing! Congrts on the race! I knew you had it in you!!!
And you had a great month! So proud of you!! Huggss!!
That is a good month. Hope all of them are like that!
Rock the house sista that is one helluva great month! Nice shave off your marathon time!! Awesome!
Thanks for the eye exam. Yes, it's true I need glasses. Congrats on a strong February. Cheers!
Maybe it's because I'm a guy, but I don't understand how a woman would pee on a seat. Guys do it all the time, but women? I don't get it.
If you're not liking stairs, at least go for a walk for 30-60 minutes today. If you can muster up some slow recovery miles (1 1/2 - 2 min slower than your race pace), that would be good, too. But try to do something today. You need to keep your legs moving to help recover.
awesome month, girly! So proud of you and that PR. And you're totally killing me with that peeing on the seat thing. I hate when people (namely my kids) do that!
This is just full of awesome. I'm beaming FOR you!!!
OMG - to say I'm in love with Dark Chocolate Reese's cups does Not do my obsession justice. THEY ARE SO GOOD!
GO, Redhead, GO! Two 50+ mile weeks?? Marathon PR! almost done with a craaaazy-a$$ long book!
You're all over the place ;)
where's this vacation destination??
Sounds to me by his comment that Spike is trying to fatten you up!
: ) Congrats on a great month!
SOunds like a hell of a month! Congrats on the AWESOME marathon finish!
Awesome month! Great job at Gasparilla. I'm excited for the recap. Yeah for vacation in two days!
I saw that Cleopatra book at the Lib and said no way when i saw how thick it was!!! Can't wait for the race report! February was a pretty awesome month!
So f-ing proud of you!!!!!! You rock. As always.
GAH! I'm just so excited that we had such great races over the weekend. And I loved your custom Operation Jack tank--love!
Rest up, bask in the glow (or sunburn, if you're me) and enjoy your vacation! You deserve it.
*whine whine* I want to read the race recap! Okay, okay - great month! All that training obviously worked :)
Congratulations on an awesome time and what must have been an awesome marathon!!!
Congrats on the Gasparilla time!
Im so excited to read about your race recap!
Half of a gourmet cupcake! You have willpower galore!
Yeah, how in the world did you only eat half that gourmet cupcake...teach me! Congrats on a great February!!
Wow. You are incredible!
I just saw that I was not a follower. I am so sorry! I really thought I was before now. Well, all is remedied:)
