So, um... ow.

I ran 19 miles today. In a row. My poor footsies! Walking immediately afterwards was perhaps more painful than running. No, not 'perhaps,' it was more painful. Also, my heart has been beating faster than normal since I finished at 9:30am. I can tell, because I have to breathe deeper and faster. It's freakin' weird, but I think I read ( Read more... )

ASSHOLES!!!!!! I doubt anyone in Chicago would be so stupid and rude. It will be good for you when you are back there. I wish I could go too! Sweet home Chicago! It's so true!

Yeah, I mean, I'm used to bikers being idiots, but the stalking-while-running thing... it's totally INSANE. I still can't get over what a FREAK that guy was.

yeah that was really weird. i could picture this scenario in a will farrell movie where he is the psycho runner guy and you are the girl that turns to mace him in the face while still maitaining your pace and then you would run away and he would be lying there screaming in pain. hahahah!

I hope your feet are feeling better! And I agree with Jill, I can't imagine encountering freak stalking running guys like that in Chicago! But it wouldn't hurt to carry a little can of mace, just in case you encounter a psycho will farrell :)

The feet are definitely feeling better. Just needed a little extra rest-- I've been pushing myself too hard for my first marathon! Oh, and there were a bunch of other people around when that crazy guy came up to me, so I was pretty safe--just in case you and Jill were worried. :)
