It somehow doesn’t seem quite right to scarf down pizza after running 3 miles, lol.

Thanks!! I gotta take what I can get in my men’s shoe, so I liked that there were a little bit “different.” :)

I think I have only once finished a race to find pizza at the finish line area. Your new shoes are a perfect match to your race day outfit! Love the pattern too!

I know that’s one area I definitely need to work on — I just can NOT put my mind to doing speedwork when the temps have been so brutal. I’m trying not to let it get to me, but it. is. HARD.

Is it fall yet? ;-D

EXACTLY! It’s definitely a way to make some of those ho-hum weekly runs a little bit more exciting. :-D

Unfortunately, not next year. Sadness. :( We’re doing W&D, and it was a bit much (financially speaking, of course) to go back for Marathon Weekend in January. Maybe in 2017, though! :-D

Plus pizza and cookies at the end?! That’s a win in my book! Thanks for the continued inspiration :)
