I wanted to write more about Boston. To tell about my sadness. But it is hard to write when you cannot process. Right now, I am just not processing. It’ll take time. This is all very personal to me, as it is to many of you. What I know is this…nothing can take away my love for running or for Boston. Next weekend, when I hit the pavement for my first half-marathon of the year, I’ll definitely have the Boston runners in my heart. For now though, I’ll share my favorite of the photos that have been popping up:
Also, yesterday I represented by wearing this to work:
As I said when I posted on my page- bad at selfies; sorry, not sorry!
So. Instead of a heart heavy post, you get this. Stolen from Jamoosh. Who stole is from someone who stole it from someone and it’s all linked here. You want in? Take it, but then link it 🙂
Best Run Ever-
All my best runs are the ones I have downtheshore. Wildwood is my favorite place and running is my favorite thing.
Three Words That Describe My Running-
Slow. Steady. Spirited.
My Go-To Running Outfit
Running skirt by C9 with tank top or short sleeves. I wear it a lot. I just bought a new one because this one is so worn out.
There’s more, but I’ll spare you!
I Won’t Run Outside When It’s…
Dark. I am a kidnapping waiting to happen.
Worst Injury – And How I Got Over It
Broken foot. Physically, I got over it just by letting it heal and working my way back a little at a time. Mentally, still not sure if I am over it. I have spent a lot of time injured.
From a different injury but I lived in this thing for FAR too long.
I Felt Most Like a Badass Runner When…
I ran the last miles of the marathon on a broken foot. With a smile.
Yup- running and smiling despite the broken foot! Adrenaline can do anything!
Potential Running Goal for 2013
Stay uninjured. If I get a PR, that is just the cherry on top.
My Next Race Is…
Sunday. Rutgers 13.1
I enjoyed your answers. I might swipe this as well if I get around to it.
Does C9 still make that skirt? I’m interested!
Good luck this weekend, Jill!
I’m not sure- I bought that skirt in early 2009! The one I just bought is Nike Fit because I had a gift certificate. I hope it works- it was good on my training run, but I like to stick with that I know. Of course, if I wear the C9 one, it might fall off during the race!
The skirt works for you… keep rockin’ it! And good luck at your next race!
Staying injury free is a really great goal to have. So many times I think as runners we push ourselves harder than we know we should, get injured, and wind up further behind than if we would have been more patient. (I am totally guilty of this.) Good luck at your race! 🙂
