Raindrops on roses and Asics, I’m smitten!

Bright colored tech shirts and warm wicking mittens
clear plastic goodie bags tied up with string
These are a few of my favorite things!


I signed up to be a part of the Ragnar Relay with JT and some other Twitter buddies, and am very excited! I was explaining the concept to my friends, and they gave me the usual “you’re crazy” look. They didn’t understand why I was so excited to be a part of a 24 hour race, jumping in and out of a van to run from Santa Barbara to Dana Point. Maybe it’s because runners have a different mindset as to what makes them happy.


There are so many geeky and random things I love about running, here’s just a taste:

  • Running for the first time in new shoes. You feel like you’re floating
  • Going through all the fun stuff in my goodie bag
  • The amazing feeling of crossing the finish line
  • The feeling of soreness that’s so bad it’s good from a great run
  • Obsessively refreshing a race website to check the results.
  • Stalking Brightroom/MarathonFoto/etc. to find my race pictures
  • Listening to that great power song on my playlist and running as hard as I can
  • Cold beer post race. Need I say more?

What is one of your favorite things about running?

    When my clogs smart, when my pee stings (?), when I’m feeeeeling fat…
    Julie Andrews would be proud of your adaptation. I wish I could be on the Ragnar bus with y’all. You guys are gonna have such a great time.

    Love your list… esp the soreness one… only athletes understand. I also love the look on non-runner’s faces when the following conversation ensues:
    “hey, so you’re running a marathon?”
    “yep”
    “so, like, how many miles is that?”
    “26.2″
    ::insert entertaining reaction here:: <—my fav :0)
