And…We’re Back!

And…We’re Back!

I took a bit of a blogger vacation there :)

off

Sadly the vacation didn’t involve hanging out with any 60 year old ladies on the beach with waves lapping our toes for hours. Instead it was snowing and 20 degrees :) . I honestly didn’t do a whole lot of running. Bummer!

Runs I did do:

Three 4-mile runs
2 hill runs (20 minutes)

Yep, that’s it!

Now I’m back in SF, where it is 60 degrees and sunny. When I went for an 8 mile run yesterday, it hurt!!! BAD! My knees are still killing me. Before I set out on said 8-miler, I was planning on it being a 12-miler….ha ha!! That was definitely not in the cards! My knees were dying by mile 6. It really amazed me how much fitness I lost in just 2 weeks…I guess it is better to learn that lesson now than right before my marathon.

I’m scheduling a 10-miler for next Tuesday and a 12-miler for the following Tuesday…hopefully I’ll be up to it!

The California International Marathon is this Sunday (Good luck Aron!!!), and I’m going to be there with clipboards and review forms, getting runners to give reviews of their running shoes…so hopefully there will be a ton more reviews on this site soon! Yay!

I’m excited to get back to reading everyone’s blogs :)

    Happy review-collecting this weekend! I think runners are more passionate about their shoes than Carrie Bradshaw about her Jimmy Choo’s.

    Welcome back. Glad you enjoyed you vacation. Skiing is so much fun. Unfortunately, I haven’t been since I moved to NC.

    I’d say you did pretty well while on vacation. Hill runs on vacation???

    Have fun in Sac this weekend.

    P.S. How do I submit a running shoe review? I love my shoes and would love to give them some review love =)
