Pretty in Pink.
Yep! I'm soooo pretty in pink!!
Today, I tapped into my girlie side (because let's face it...I'm not a girly girl AT ALL) and picked up a fabulous pink Timex watch to track my splits during the marathon. I know my Garmin 201 won't hold up in the loop and I'm really hoping to get some accurate splits for this race. It's this one...but with a magenta face and button. It's pretty sweet...like me! :)
So me and the oosg met up for lunch with Jason & Leah and then headed to Target for an afternoon of fun. Leah helped me pick it out
Today's Run...hahahahaaa...no. We were scheduled for 120 minutes. We ended up getting to training late because we had to bring our car in to the dealership for a check up and the first time slot was at 8. Training started at 8. So we got there by 8:30 and hit the ground running with the intent of running 90 minutes, with about 3-4 miles at marathon pace.
Again...hahahahaahahaa....no.
Mike and I agreed that we'd do today's run together. My foot was a little sore, but nothing like before...but poor Mike...his IT band was really bothering him. We probably ran a total of about 2 miles and walked 4-something. Cut it short and didn't stay out anywhere near the 90 minutes we agreed to.
Whoops.
But we recieved our TNT race singlet and all the last bits of important info at training today, so it was worth going. :)
But tomorrow morning is the Bucktown 5k race. Our best man, Lance, and his girlfriend Noelle are running it with us (it's their first race!). So they're over here and we're getting ready for a good ole fashion pasta party--yes, I know a 5k doesn't typically warrant a carb-loading feast, but this is all in good fun. So look for a full race report sometime tomorrow...let's see how close to 30 minutes I can get my time...and I can't wait to use my new watch for my split times!!
And a massively huge shout out to Taylor...she conquered the Kansas City Marathon this morning and did AWESOME!!! Look out for her race report sometime this week! CONGRATULATIONS, T-HIZZLE!!!

Sounds like a fun shopping trip! Oh how I LOVE target.
Good luck tomorrow
I think that any race deserves to be treated important, regardless of distance (teehee, I just love to eat pasta!)

Next thing you know you'll be sporting pink shorts. They'll look great with that purple TNT singlet.... (it is purple, isn't it?)
Good luck tomorrow!!
I go NUTS in Target. I think there's a $150 minimum or something.
I love those little slurges! Good luck tommorow. Pasta is ALWAYS good.
I have that watch in the not-so-girlie-girl grey and I love it.
Wear your purple proudly. You ar da Woman!
