Scratch that, it’s huge! 3:57:43 – I never thought I’d be able to do that!
I’m going to write more later, right now I’m exhausted and trying to trick O into giving me a foot massage while I eat peanut butter straight from the jar. The life of a marathon hedonist.

I can’t believe that I’m running the Philadelphia Marathon tomorrow!
I’m blogging from my hotel room in Philly and feeling nervous about tomorrow. I’ve had a nervous stomach since Friday morning actually and I think it’s because I’m really concerned about my hip. It still hurts and I am not looking forward to 4+ hours of [...]

My shoes felt weird when I went for my run today. I went to retie them and figured out why.

On the left foot: Brooks Glycerin, size 8, no orthotics.
On the right foot: Brooks Adrenaline, size 8.5, orthotics inserted.
I’m an awesome genius. I [...]
