Favorite run: That 18 miler at the beginning of the month where I tackled the "Ghosts of Injury Past" (If only I had known what was to come...)
Least Favorite run: The .4 M run I went on with Fabulous in the midst of all the nerve issues I had with my right leg before I got the stress fracture in my left. I had to make him go back for the car to pick me up because I literally couldn't go another step. I was so embarrassed and became even more so when the pain was so bad I couldn't hold back the tears.
Most hardcore run: See "Favorite Run" above. 18 miles in a cold torrential downpour def rates it in the top three most hard core runs ever.
Current Reads: (Reading) On Agate Hill by Lee Smith; I just started this book and not really sure my feelings about it.
(Finished) Interred with their Bones by Jennifer Lee Carroll; This book was an exciting page turner for any book loving nerd like myself. The adventures the main character has trying to track down a lost manuscript reminded me of National Treasure and The DaVinici Code. I also finished Marathon Woman by Katherine Switzer; If you are a woman that runs you NEED to read this book. The history of woman's running unfolds before your eyes and commentaried by the very fun and sassy "K. Switzer". I read several sections of this book aloud to Spike because there is just so much history (and laugh out loud moments) jam packed between it's covers not to share.

Love the S&M song. I almost typed "love S&M" but rethought it...
What'd you think of My Run? I just got back from it :)
I loved "Marathon Woman" such a great book! Next month will definitely be better than this one, sounds like you have a lot to look forward too!
I will have to pick up the Switzer book- she must have some great stories to share.
SO excited to see you!
Yay! Excited to meet you soon!
Hang in there...
WOW! Even injured you are kicking my butt. lol
My March kinda sucked, but I'm pretty happy I'm not on crutches. Hang in there, girl!
Three days of no crying is something to be proud of! We've all been in "down times" - it's all about a "one day at a time" mentality. Xtraining Queen reigns powerful!! ;)
I wish i was part of those blogger meet ups you've got goin' on!! HAVE FUN this wkend!
That Xtraining will pay off! Yep, you're not buying it now...but believe me! You'll come out of this so much stronger!
I'll have to check out the Switzer book.
You're a cross-training machine. When your leg starts cooperating, you'll be ready.
I will see you & the Spikester LATER! :)
My wife and I are on a Dexter kick as well. We watched Season 1 last year and we just got Netflix and have made it though Season 2 and the 1st disk of Season 3! Good stuff...although it's hard to root for a serial killer sometimes
hmm my March looks like a bowl of crap.. Nothing for me to post about that! HAHA!! 42 days till marathon and uh well I've run 2 days in 2 weeks.. So far I haven't lost my mind. That is SURPRISING! I'm hoping your are feeling better with each passing day!
all i can say is HUGS TO YOU! super excited to see you in boston!
i drink so much milk now!!! can't wait to see you in Boston for real live hugs!
AHHHH so many meet ups! CANNOT wait to meet you in real life in a couple weeks :) so many fun things to look forward to! And getting off those crutches is one for sure!
I hope April is a kinder month than March was! And that you are off those crutches soon. :)
Fun Post!
Yeah for a great March!!!
Ryan got me into Dexter and I love it! It is only one of three shows I watch. Obssessed!
See you sooooon!!!!
Just catching up. Sorry about the stress fracture. Ugh, that sucks! Sounds like you've got a positive attitude, lots of cookies and crutch to go with your new song - S&M.
Winks & Smiles,
Wifey
Wow, Morgan. I leave for a few months and I come back to find this?!?! So sorry to hear you're on the injured reserve list. Take care and hope you get back on your feet soon.
It can be hard to keep x-training exciting, huh? I'll reward myself after an hour of cross training with extra minutes of "mindless x-training" session so I can read magazines or something. Sigh.
Also, cookies? Amazing. Get ready for more fresh baked ones from ME!
Awww, this one made me really sad :( "Current Wish-List: A new set of legs with an extended warranty."
I hope your current model heals and is better than ever when you come back! Keep killing that cross training!! :)

UM INSANE. i love you. that was awesome! you are so organized.
i hope you had a wonderful day!
