magnificent Monday and POPCHIPS perspectives…

Not too late to enter Sperly’sFirstGiveaway!!
Go. Do. It. Now!
Helllooo blog buddies. Apparently I’m all about alliteration today… so sorry if it gets overkill! It’s only noon, so it may be a little too early to determine this Monday as “magnificent”.. but so far it’s off to a muy bueno beginning. Here has been [...]

My definitely-NOT-Twin-Cities-Marathon-pre-race-report. Dang…

Hey kids. Well.. this is a post that no one wants to write (maybe no one wants to read?! Haha.. sorry), but I figured I better write it before the marathon. Not like you guys are hanging on my every move here, but maybe someone wants to know.
After my last post, I was still undecided about [...]

Returning to Reality

I want to get the rest of my Philly trip posted, because I literally have like FIVE posts that I want to do (some of them I already have written!) but they’re all backing up! Plus, I have some special events coming up this weekend (St. Croix Valley Tri, Victory Memorial 10K) that I’m sure [...]

“this year’s medals were harvested from the forests of…”

URBAN WILDLAND!
A semi race/chill report and a guarantee for years to come:
I believe in my last post, I wasn’t thinking I’d be racing the Urban Wildland Half Marathon. I think I did a pretty good job staying true to my words, but as every runner knows, it’s really hard to just “run” a race. The [...]

Grandma’s non-race race report!

Honestly, I don’t feel like I need to say anything more than
Grandma’s Marathon was a BLAST!
But of course I will. Not a race report.. but I will take you through the my Grandma’s experience from start to finish!
My mom has run Grandma’s Marathon 7 or 8 times. It always used to be over [...]

defeated to sky high.. and everything in between.

Holy smokes.. this last week has been flippin ridiculous. Good and bad. I’m in serious sleep debt, but that’s life. I got a lot to cover, and a little time, so lemme get down to business.

First things first: I decided. I’ll be transferring to NORTHEASTERN! I seriously didn’t make my decision until about half an [...]

21. miles that is.

Well.. it has been one HELL of a week. HELL as in not all bad.. but pretty dang intense. I’m still working on catching up on sleep and getting all the homework done, but at this point I feel like everything will turn out in the end! This post is covering quite a few days, [...]

so this is what a shitty day looks like.

I promise I wont rant for this entire post, but I just need this little bit:
My alarm didn’t go off. I couldn’t wash my hair post-gym/pre-class. I had to pay $2 extra for parking because I missed the time cut off by 1 minute and 17 seconds. It’s cold. It started raining within the first [...]

why even bother to run..

^ If you’re not runnin’ HAPPY. (can you see it on the bottom of the glass?)
Ahh. I’m in another one of those kicks where I’m constantly reminded of how much I love running. (Hmm.. that’s been a pretty constant kick since I started running at 12. I guess we can call it permanent by now [...]
