Running and then blogging about it
Relay 1

Apple Fritter Avengers

By Colleen @colleenalicia · On August 30, 2010

It’s been a long time since I gave an update of what my legs look like, and I thought that right after Hood to Coast would be as good a time as any.


I circled the parts that hurt when I run. Next time I get injured I’m hoping it’s something that’s more obvious. Tendinitis doesn’t look like anything. Another toenail fell off, but I’m worried I’ll get complaints if I post a close-up of that.

If you look closely you can see that I have two hurting spots, despite only complaining of one in the weeks leading up to Hood to Coast. Previously I only had pain on the right side, but during the last leg the left side started hurting too.

The second leg I ran was the best one – my legs didn’t hurt at all then, I think mostly because I ran a lot of it with this guy named Eric, who told me he would pray for my knee to get better.

I’m kind of bored of talking about Hood to Coast already, which is unfortunate for you, but people keep asking me about it. It was pretty great though – we won the relay, I didn’t have too much diarrhea, and we handed out a lot of apple fritters. Because we are the Apple Fritter Avengers.

If you really need more than that, enjoy our tweets from the weekend.

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.

    Did you see any running skirts? We haven’t had an update about that in a while.

    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.
