Congratulations to Missee and all of the Earth Day Half Marathon Runners! Entering a half marathon is brave and finishing is remarkable. Good work to all! While Missee was competing in her race, I was running a fourteen mile training run. The first five mile were rough, the remaining miles were okay. I had put a water bottle and one energy gel in my mailbox with the idea that I would eat that at the 6-7 mile mark. Due to stomach issues, I never ate the energy gel. That could be just an excuse, as I struggle to consume energy gels and will use almost any excuse to get out of it. I am considering switching back to Gu. The reason for the switch is that there are Gu gels in vanilla and plain. I might have an easier time eating those? Saturday's weather was awesome. Even though there were still piles of snow on the ground, I was able to run without a jacket for the first time this season. I also ran across this free rest stop for tired runners. My town is the best! I hope your week off to a great start! Happy Running! -Stephanie

Did you sit on the couch??? We've put things out with free signs and it almost always gets taken...happy to send unwanted stuff on to someone who can use it!

Missee, are you sure you don't have a couch to get rid of this Saturday? It sure might come in handy after our long run on Saturday:).

I don't have a couch to put out, but I did just discard an old radio. Perhaps we could carry it along for music. LOL!

I did not sit down... too difficult to get back to running if I sat.😀
