Running and then blogging about it
Marathon 3

Timberline Tomorrow

By Colleen @colleenalicia · On June 4, 2010

Twenty-four hours from now, I’ll be running a marathon (at least that’s the plan). Other than the fact that I’m not feeling entirely confident, I don’t have a lot more to say about it, but I wanted to give you a last chance to give me marathon advice so you can take partial credit in my success/failure if you want. One thing I’ve learned about training for a marathon is that people love to give you advice about running marathons. Which is good, because I love hearing it.

I’ll report back soon, and might even do some tweeting up on the mountain tomorrow.

Miles run this week: 7
Miles run in 2010: 398

I must confess, I started running at a very early age. Sadly, my runs were unblogumented until around age 23, so you'll have to use your imagination for all the runs I went on before that. Running has always been my go-to sport, but sadly, I spend a good amount of my time with chronic injuries. I have learned to entertain myself athletically with other pursuits such as kettlebell, yoga, and bikini competitions, when I can't run. In addition to my unique talent for working out and then blogging about it, I am an amateur puppy stylist and photographer, television enthusiast, and I'm usually CPR/AED certified, but I would still prefer if you didn't pass out when we're together.

    Sleep 1 hour for every 2 miles you plan on running… preferably beforehand, but feel free to take breaks.

    Also the Google verification word was “loser.” Hard not to take that as a bad omen.

    Run really fast! But not so fast that you can’t run the whole way. This advice brought to you by Haylie Swenson. Always more where that came from.

    About Me

    I’m Colleen. I started this blog when I was 23 years old and training for my first marathon. I was single, semi-employed, generally directionless in life, and had a lot of free time on my hands. I have a lot less free time now, but I still love to come here and dump my rambling, unedited thoughts after a workout or race once in a while.
