Alternative working titles: Fixing my Broken Feet, The Day the Podiatrist Took all my Money, How Laurel Got her Groove Back Part IV I’ve been quiet on the running front this week, haven’t I?

I have been meaning to make this post for quite a while, because I blog frequently on my running group, and I wanted to explain a little more what it’s all about. I haven’t been hashing as long as my fiancé Dan, so I thought it’d be fun to interview him and let him explain […]

Well my day had a good start to it: 8 miles! This is so far my longest run post-injury. The time was slower than I’d care for, but my coworker Jenna came over this morning and we ran it together. Knowing I can get the distance down is great, and now I just need to […]

Not only did Dan have his second-ever marathon this past weekend, he KILLED it! The only one he’d done prior to this weekend was the Walt Disney World marathon, as part of Goofy’s Race and a Half Challenge.

Last Friday, we celebrated Dan’s birthday with our running group (aka our hash). It was loads of fun, but before I get into that I have monumental news: I went for a run today! It’s my first run back from my achilles injury. It was slow and a little painful (not in my achilles, but […]
