"It's Time" - Imagine Dragon
Well, it's not exactly time just yet.......but it's getting close.
16 days kind of "close".
The last 30 days have been incredible.
The training has been intense.
The excitement is killing me.
[super grateful, it's not the other way around]
This is what the training has looked like the last 31 days:
I did my longest run 31 days ago:
Nothing like 8 hours on a treadmill to start your day off right. The first 6 hours I ran and text a few friends. My friends are amazing. Truly. I received no less than 100 texts while I ran [and two hilarious videos]. Grateful.
Then I watched the first hour of the Today Show.
The final hour I tried to pick up the pace a little so I would manage to get a final reading that included a "something" .44.
YES, it is all about the 4's.
My body has felt great throughout this process. I have never run this many miles in consecutive weeks before.
I know this special delivery from GNC sure helped. HOLY. SCORE!!
I love, love, love VEGA. I swear by this stuff before, during and after my runs. And the Quest Bars.......ummmmm, yes, please.
The last 24 hour treadmill run I did my highest mileage week was 89 miles. Most weeks came in around 75-80.
A few things are different this time around:
* More miles
* Vegetarian
* Training on my very own Woodway
* Better fueling
* More foam rolling
* I know what I'm in for
And. I. Freaking. Cannot. Wait.

Thank you so freaking much for all of your support.

"Suit & Tie" - JT [socks & shorts] ProCompression giveaway & Motionwear discount
So lately.
My fun has been found here [Instagram]. I freaking love it.
Like LOVE it X 444.
It's my happy place. I pretty sure no one misses my "blogging" [minus my Mom]. I find Instagram to be a mini blog through a photo. It works for me.
However, these two promos brought me back for a quick blog post.
* ProCompression giveaway
and
* Motionwear discount.
I have long been a believer in compression post workout. I am now beginning to enjoy it during as well. I typically stuck with my CEP compression socks.......mostly because they were the first brand I was exposed to. After seeing a promo code on Hungry Runner Girl's blog a while back......I took the PCP. Pro Compression Plunge.
Anddddddddddddddd
I TOO......am a fan.
And I may wear them a lot.
Like a freaking lot.
So ProCompression has offered to giveaway one pair to one of you. Sa-weet.
Here's how you enter:
LEAVE A COMMENT FOR EACH [4 possible entries]
1. Tell me your big goal for 2013
2. Follow @Procompression on twitter
3. Follow me on Instagram
4. Tweet ..... "Yes, I freaking want to win some @procompression from @runemz and I think they should make these in CAMO." ;)
And just because they rock........
...............here is the promo code for 40% off : BLG13
I also received a pair of Motionwear shorts to try out.
I did one of my recovery runs in them. Zero complaints. Felt great. No rude rubbing or weird seams. #hugewin
[Please ignore the grandma socks.]
They are offering 15% off a $75 order when you use promo code: RUNEMZ
You can find them at

"Gratitude" - Beastie Boys {Phoenix Marathon}
Grateful.
That's me.
I used to be able to sit down to blog and the words would just come. Lately, I've struggled to put recent events into words.
"Thank you" - just doesn't seem to cover what I am feeling.
Let me take a step back. I'll give you a few examples.
* I was blown away when I got to meet [in real life] RAchelle [yes, the CAP on that A is supposed to be there] ;)
How I would describe her four words:
HUMBLE
Thoughtful
Caring
FREAKINGspeedy
But she went above and beyond the call of any friend last Saturday and ran 18 of my 26.2 mile marathon with me.
Here is [really] where I do not have the words. She talked to me from mile 18-25 - calf pain a-blazing. Telling me story after story. Stories of triumph. Stories of pain. Stories of encouragement. I have since spent two hours writing this down in my journal. I know, Emily, it was a freaking race. Well, no, sorry, it wasn't. It was a lot more than a race. In fact, it was barely a race. I will treasure this day forever. However, it certainly will not be because I freaking finally got a new PR.
* Grateful for the confidence this race gave me. I now KNOW I can do a 3:09. I'll get it. I held back at the beginning which felt great. Only to cramp from a muscle pull [incurred 10 days before race day] at mile 15. Not awesome. But......still.........grateful
* When Further. Faster. Forever. highlighted me as their "Athlete of the Week".
A huge honor for me. This is an incredible community of athletes run by athletes. I have "met" some of the kindest people though this group.
People Like . . . .
mcg_christopher who ran 13.44 freaking miles on a treadmill. THEN.......donated $444 to the Sojourner Center. The Domestic Violence shelter I ran for 24 hours to raise money for.
grateful.
* And that text I got from my Mom on Friday. She knew the Doctor told me not to race. She also knew there wasn't a chance in *&## I'd listen. So she text me five words.
You. Can. Do. Hard. Things.
#wordtomymutha
What are you grateful for today?
