I'm here and I am chugging along and have gotten in some great runs while slowly upping my mileage. My body feels good and despite a horrible track workout Tuesday I am still feeling super positive about my running.
I just haven't had the creative bug and am totally lacking for words to do these runs justice.
So if I am a bit quiet around here that's why. Not because I have given up on running, or on blogging. Just because I am at a loss for words right now.
So here's some fun photos from the past few weeks to make up for my silence!

I am getting excited about the Buckeye 50K. MT and I ran really well this morning so pacing her through her first will be a lot of fun. I am also feeling like if I can keep up this higher mileage a 50 miler may be in my near future!

Looks like things are progressing nicely!!
It is awesome that MT will have your support for the 50K...you two will be awesome!
Glad to see you blogging again. I've been thinking about taking a blogger sabbotical...but just can't tear myself away. Maybe I'd be a better runner, if I'd get out there and just do more running. You really fly on those trails! I don't know what it is, but I can maintain a decent pace on the roads, but I'm a real baby about falling on the trails...so very slow. I feel good today after our first 24 miles of trails. I hope this is good enough to get me through on July 14th. It's a new frontier for me!
Anything I say about those legs would get me into trouble.
Well done on the gradual build up.
Nice job on the running. Your stats are steady and improving.
I like the picts! Sometimes picts are better than words. At least that is what I have discovered with my blog posts! Have fun at the concert tonight!
What's GMR???
how fast was that cabbie going?!
p.s. nice gams!
I am with Toastie: the silence on the legs is a wise decision!
Nice pics!
Good job, keep it up!
Yikes, those are some serious calves.
haha! we all go through those spouts of "i want to blog, but i don't know what to say." don't worry, it'll come back to you. glad the runs have been going well.
Well it certainly sounds like you've been pretty busy. We miss daily posts, but you know we'll always swing by to check.
Keep up the great work increasing the weekly miles.
You girls were flying on Sunday. Nick and I took a nice stroll through the park to recover from our Saturday race. I think I like the slow pace so I'll probably be seeing you next saturday as you pass us in the pine trees or maybe even earlier.
Are you thinking about doing JFK again this year? I bet you would rock it!
Great legs! :)
Good to see your mileage moving up slowly and steadily rather than in big jumps.
mmmh. Wilkinson Sword does it.
them's some miles. great job.
I was looking through the unidentified pictures from the Cleveland Marathon and started seeing people I recognized. There were a couple pictures of you as well. I can email them to you if you want the numbers etc. I looked like you were having a good time.
OK, I am going to have to shave mine up and do some calf shots. Josh would be unhappy if I let those photos go unchallenged. Um, not the same josh who commented here...another trail runner Josh.
