Running on Empty

Oooooooooh it has been a really really long month filled with highs and lows, but mostly highs.

I'm lacking in the composition department of my brain right now, so I'm just going to do that Jeopardy clue-style thing I do.

YES. I did go to Brasil and it. was. AWESOME.

NO. I did not run a single day I was there because it was really really cold there and I was too busy hanging out with clowns and drinking. It's Winter there right now. Surprise!

YES. I did email Austin whilst I was in Brasil and forced him to sign up for the Queens half marathon with me, happening the weekend after I returned, because I ate so much delicious food whilst in Brasil. Mmmm, I'm still dreaming about those gorgonzola balls. And the caipirinhas. And those fried things. Mmmmmmm.

YES. Austin and I did drag our butts out to Queens at 6am.

YES. It was 96 degrees when we started the half marathon AT 7AM and 103 degrees when I finished.

YES. It was a struggle.

YES. We did finish and totally made the weather our biotch.

YES. We did eat a delicious brunch afterwards.

NO. I could not walk for a few days afterwards.

NO. My ankle or foot did not hurt at all and that was baller.

YES. I did get a tattoo on my ankle that says "Born To Run".

YES. It is partially because I'm running the marathon this year.

YES. It is partially because Born to Run, the album, has been a highly influential power in my life.

NO. Those are not the only reasons, but it's too much to explain right now.

YES. It does give me running superpowers.

YES. I do look badass whilst running.

YES. You should be jealous.

YES. I do forget I have it sometimes and then see it and get really happy all over again.

NO.  I can't believe there are only 13 weeks left until the marathon.

YES. I am excited and nervous and excited.

YES. I am going to bed now. Peace. OUT.
