Wow a 50K!  That's great!

I did Reston in March, my tenth (!), and have Erie (9/13), MCM (10/25) and Rehoboth (12/5).

Third time a charm for the 50K. Tried to run the HAT in March, but the course was a complete mud pit and I missed the 17 mile cut off time. Then injured my left knee in said mud pit bracing down all the hills and couldn't run by redemption North Face 50K run. So, I'm hoping Rosaryville will be my finish!

This year's fundraising is for Baltimore! I'm raising money on my own for Newborn Holistic Ministries. They run Jubilee Arts Center and Martha's Place in Sandtown. While some of the AA/NA philosophies have some religion, Jubilee Arts is secular. They are currently working on 7 murals in the city this summer.

Here's some info on the mural project

And the link to my fundraiser! Every dollar helps! Hoping to raise at least 1K.

So, wait, what terrible concert are you willing to attend in exchange for donations? I'm missing it.

If there's anything I'm good at, it's hamfisting tropes down people's throats.

I swear the forecast for Erie on Sunday has changed every 12 hours for the last three days.  It will either be 55 and rainy or 55 and partly cloudy.

I can now confirm with relative certainty that muscle soreness does in fact peak at the 48 hour mark.

Just came across a triathlon-wear brand called 2XU. I'd be tempted to add a 1 to the logo.

What's everyone's road shoe of choice?  I'm back to 20-25 miles a week and just can't find the perfect shoe.

I've been wearing Asics Gels for the past 6-7 years and they've served me very well plus they look cute. And I don't have to replace them after 3 months (usually can stretch them to a year).

Brooks Addiction if you have flat feet like me. Been wearing those for a long time now.

Brooks Beast if you're fat and have flat feet. The perfectly named running shoe for a fat person.

I wear Brooks Glycerin 13. The 12s are crap. I also used to wear Newtons and liked them. On the trails I wear Brooks Cascadia.

My husband wears the Saucony Trimuph ISO. Loves them.
