I don't know why we Californians insist on giving nicknames to our cities, but 'Sacto' is Sacramento our state's capital and the site of the CIM - California International Marathon that I will be running tomorrow. (BTW 'San Fran' is San Francisco, no one who actually lives in the state calls it 'Frisco')
I am very excited to go and meet Julianne and TinaGirl! Unfortunately, we won't be running together. They would have to tie two of their legs together and do a three legged race if they wanted to keep pace with me since they are Fasty McFastertons, but I will get to enjoy their company at the expo!
I can't believe that this is my fifth marathon this year. Just five years ago a marathon (or really, even a 10K) seemed like impossibility. I could not fathom running for 26.2 miles. Even now typing it I think, "You? Fat ass, lazy ass you are going to run 26.2 miles?! Yeah right."
Old tapes die hard I guess.
I don't know if the dirt cheap hotel room I got will have internet, but I hope to catch up with you all this weekend! This week has been like all the others I have been whining about lately so I will spare you the diatribe.
This is a seriously boring ass post. I am feeling a little *blah*. I will end with a self-portrait LOL cat (me, lying my ass off )
Ooh, one last thing, I did pick a new race for 2009. My first 50 miler, The Firetrails 50 in October 2009! I really wanted to do Rocky Raccoon 50 miler with IronJane in Texas, but since my swimming and biking SUCK and I have a little triathlon thing in June I better not.
Any peeps that want to get in on the action?!
Have a great time tomorrow!! Woot!
ReplyDeleteI love the LOL cat too. :-)
I forgot you had a marathon this weekend! Best luck - race hard - have fun!!!!!
ReplyDeleteGood luck and Gods speed to you. I always knew you were a marathoner at heart. You always talk about Tri's but look at you, 5 marathons! Some-body's a ru-nner, Some-body's a ru-nner, Some-body's a ru-nner, nah-nah-nah-nah-nah!
ReplyDeleteGood luck and have fun!
ReplyDeleteAhem, you are not just missing Jane at Rocky Raccoon. Misty and I will be there too.

ReplyDeleteStacey! It was soooo fun meeting you yesterday! You are sooooo funny. I can now imagine you saying the things on the blog now. :-) How did you do? Can't wait to read your race report!!!
ReplyDeleteSo....how did the race go? Inquiring minds are dying to know.
ReplyDeleteI decided to get off my lazy ass and look the results up.
ReplyDeleteHOLY COW! Way to go girl!
5:00:23. Talk about smoking fast!
And look at that half point. 2:29. Man, you stayed consistent the whole way through.
You've learned so much and come so far. You're doing awesome!
Well, I was going to do the same thing as Formulaic but he beat me to it -- CONGRATS!!
ReplyDeleteSeriously, 5 marathons in a year? You're a Marathon Maniac :-)
Good luck on the mary, hope you did well.
ReplyDeleteI just sent you an extremely PSYCHOTIC email about Rage!!
