Thirteen.Point.One: Nine Days
http://my-1st-half.blogspot.com/2011/01/nine-days.html
Friday, January 7, 2011. This is the story of a girl…. Shame on you.). OMG I HOPE I’M READY. First of all, I know it’s been ages since I’ve posted. I was SO good about posting at least once a week but recently I just haven’t felt like doing it. But, I’m back! The past 2 weeks of running hasn’t been great by any means. Last week my knees were sore during my shorter runs on Thursday and Friday. Friday at the lake was cold and windy and painful. It was probably as painful as the first 2-3 weeks were for me!

Thirteen.Point.One: Race Day Recap (Finally!)
http://my-1st-half.blogspot.com/2011/01/race-day-recap-finally.html
Friday, January 21, 2011. Race Day Recap (Finally! This week has been pretty hectic so I'm just now finally getting around to publishing this. I wrote it Tuesday evening, so it's a few days out-dated and quite frankly, I barely even remember what I wrote and don't particularly feel like editing. But not much has changed since then, so I'm not concerned about it. Enjoy! Is it really over? It can’t be, can it? Three months of training and it’s all over already? Sure, it was tough, mentally and physically.

Thursday, January 27, 2011. 30-Day Challenge - Day 2: Where You'd Like to be in 10 Years. Umm Well. Let's see. I have always hated this question. I've been asked this in job interviews time after time and I have never been able to answer it honestly because, quite frankly, I HAVE NO IDEA. How about basking in early retirement and wasting away in Margaritaville. Now that sounds like a great plan! I'm not much of a planner and I love that! But so far, that bug hasn't bitten me. I been bitten by that marria...

Thirteen.Point.One: November 2010
http://my-1st-half.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Monday, November 29, 2010. Only 14 Miles to Vegas! Yet another week of training has flown by! We're (un)officially into Week 6 (we didn't run yet this week, so it won't be official until tomorrow). I can't believe how fast time is passing! I guess between the 40 hours per week at work. And the ever-increasing number of miles we're running, plus all of the extracurricular activities, this is to be expected, but DAMN! Suzanne, Nick and I cooked a full Thanksgiving spread. Friday I had to work (boo), but my...

Thirteen.Point.One: I've Got the Magic Stick
http://my-1st-half.blogspot.com/2011/01/ive-got-magic-stick.html
Friday, January 14, 2011. I've Got the Magic Stick. Have you heard of this thing called The Stick. It works miracles, I tell ya! During my short run on Monday I did something funky to my right calf muscle and it has been sore since then. I'm not sure if I landed on it wrong, or maybe just ran too fast (we were FLYING! Until last night when I marched my tired rear end down to RoadRunner at Tempe Marketplace and purchased The Stick. BEST $25 EVER SPENT. No lie. NO PAIN AT ALL! How does that even happen?

Thirteen.Point.One: December 2010
http://my-1st-half.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Thursday, December 16, 2010. ONE MONTH TIL RACE DAY. It’s so hard to believe that we are only 1 month away from Race Day! What’s just as hard to believe is that we’ve actually been sticking pretty closely to our training program for all but 8 weeks at this point! This week so far has panned out to be a good running week. I hope it continues since Saturday is our first 8-miler! Suzanne’s boss John (with whom we are also friends) decided to join us. It was good having him run with us! Suz and I have always...

Thirteen.Point.One: 30 "Day" Challenge - The Intro
http://my-1st-half.blogspot.com/2011/01/30-day-challenge-intro.html
Wednesday, January 26, 2011. 30 "Day" Challenge - The Intro. I started my blog as a way to track and journal my training for my first-ever (but certainly not my last) half-marathon. But now that it's all said and done, what do I write about? Sure, I've got PLENTY to say about all sorts of things - ask anyone who knows me, and they'll assure you that I never shut up. And, on the rare occasion that I do stop talking, my friends worry and want to know what's wrong with me. What do I write about?

Thirteen.Point.One: All the Single Ladies ("Day" 1)
http://my-1st-half.blogspot.com/2011/01/all-single-ladies-day-1.html
Wednesday, January 26, 2011. All the Single Ladies ("Day" 1). 30 Day Challenge: Day 1 - Your Current Relationship (If Single, Discuss How Single Life Is). Anyone who knows me knows that I love. But what about the dates? Well, there's not a lot to tell. But here are a few snapshots into the date-dabbling that I have done. (I'm borrowing some ideas/formatting from Shaka. Sorry, girlie. It's hard not to when it comes to this topic! He lied (told me he was single). But there was one. His car. And not eve...
