Hi Everyone! I have missed you all and it is good to be back! I am sure that all of you are wondering what and the hell happened to me. Well, sometimes life just happens. We all have times where we need to take something and set it on the back burner. I have not been running a ton but signed up for a half marathon several months ago. I am running in the Lake Minnetonka half marathon in the morning. I ran this race last year and it was the half marathon of my personal best PR. I loved this race and it will always hold a dear spot close to my heart. I actually have no business running this since I have not run anything over six miles lately! Ha ha, I must love pain or be really stupid:) My plan is to run it slow and treat it as a training run. Hey, if I am jogging I will get better pictures....right! So tomorrow I am lacing up my beloved Asics and trekking into the world of running adventure and possibly painful moments:) Keep your fingers crossed that I have nice weather and finish in one piece!!!Happy running, biking, swimming, lifting and surfing!! Cheers to you all!
Have a great race! Glad to see you're back online :)
ReplyDeleteI was just wondering about you this morning.
ReplyDeleteSee ya there!
Have a good race!
ReplyDeleteHi Julie,

Yay Julie! You could finish in ten pieces and I would still love you! Happy yo have you back!
ReplyDeleteGood luck tomorrow Julie! Wish I was down there joining you. Instead I will tackle my long run in 37 degrees, snow and 40 mph winds. I wish you would just come back for good! At least write us a race report!!!! I miss my Minnesota connection! Please stick around girl!!
ReplyDeleteYeah yeah you just came back to get the Friendship Flag ;)
ReplyDeleteIt's good to "see" you again!

ReplyDeleteI'm with Jenn. You must "drop" something else out of your life so that you can keep up with the blogosphere. You can give up a job, a child, a hubby, something, right?
ReplyDeleteGood Luck Julie! I finished a half today. Whhhew!
Enjoy the pain!
ReplyDeleteDouble-check the port-a-potty lock.
And have fun!
Good luck tomorrow!!! And most of all...have fun!!!
ReplyDeleteYay here you are! Best of luck with your half tomorrow. I am in the same boat...haven't run more than 10 miles in soooo long. I'll be thinking of you at the starting line tomorrow. We can do this!

I missed you very much Julie and am happy to see a post of you again. Welcome back.
ReplyDeleteGood luck today with the half. Knowing you you will definitely finish it.
Hi! Welcome back. I hope your half went well!
ReplyDeleteWhat a pleasant surprise to get a comment from you! Glad you are well! Good to see you still running. I ran a 32km (20mile) race this morning. Keep it going!
ReplyDeleteHey Julie! Great to see you back on the blogosphere! Hope the 1/2 went great!
ReplyDeleteJULIE! I'm so glad you are back. I've missed you! Mike said that he saw you finish today and I'm sorry that I didn't see you. I was in the long bathroom line until well after the start and then ran it as a training run, so I was WAY in the back. It was so cold out there! Can't wait to read your report and catch up with how you are doing. Take care!
ReplyDeleteJulie, I hope your half went well today! I heard it was pretty cool in the Midwest.
ReplyDeleteWe've missed you! I hope the half went well today. I felt sorry for all the runners doing races this weekend in crappy weather.
