Ha! One day I will take my shoes to the trails and give ultras a try, too. I am looking forward to following your progress, too, as I know you are chasing some big goals!Happy Running Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14371380232284226541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-525338596341670577.post-70621691801849214692013-07-17T09:40:55.574-07:002013-07-17T09:40:55.574-07:00I forgot that you ran Eugene this year!

I love the thought of running into the stadium for the finish. <br /><br />How are you enjoying having a coach? I can only imagine the workouts that Erin must give to you! ;)Happy Running Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14371380232284226541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-525338596341670577.post-41057519270360023822013-06-26T13:03:50.201-07:002013-06-26T13:03:50.201-07:00What an awesome year for you!!

Runnin...I can relate to this post in so many ways! Running opened up a whole new world for me with friends, blogging, and the whole running *community*. I started off running solo, but then joined a running group which changed my life! Now, though, since I'm following a specific coached training plan I find myself running solo more often and really enjoying that time. I love your BELIEVE bracelet... something I'm definitely working on :) You had one amazing year and I am so excited for you with whatever you decide to do next! Oh, and I would definitely recommend Eugene Marathon... fast, pretty flat and a nice mix of spectators and quiet, beautiful stretches... I want to run it again for sure!greengirlrunninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04250524017216714773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-525338596341670577.post-84422285320857100112013-06-24T16:24:29.572-07:002013-06-24T16:24:29.572-07:00Thanks, Jess!

You'll have to keep me posted on all your details as far as your arrival into Portland so that we can figure out a good time to meet. <br /><br />I love that you trained for your first adult 5K using Insanity. I did my second fit test the other day and was surprised at how much I had improved, especially considering I thought I was pretty "fit" going into it right after having run a great marathon. Love that I'm getting stronger!Happy Running Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14371380232284226541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-525338596341670577.post-77145461881093556192013-06-24T16:17:46.465-07:002013-06-24T16:17:46.465-07:00I definitely agree about the solitude.

But as much as I enjoy it, I also think it would be fun to have some friends to run with occasionally. <br /><br />I know lots of people who swear by P90X! I decided to try Insanity but wouldn't mind trying P90X sometime, too.Happy Running Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14371380232284226541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-525338596341670577.post-16725730942032156592013-06-24T16:09:43.016-07:002013-06-24T16:09:43.016-07:00I'm so excited you'll be running it with m...I'm so excited you'll be running it with me, too, Jamie! I love that HTC offers you the chance to both run in the heat of the day and also the uphill, middle-of-the-night dusty road! I'll be sure to give you that leg of mine at 2am. Ha! <br /><br />Did you run the SF marathon?? I'm sure you have already told me but I can't remember. I will definitely look at that one and see if the timing might work out with our summer plans... <br /><br />Fun running with you earlier today! :) xoHappy Running Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14371380232284226541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-525338596341670577.post-32593137866032477222013-06-23T23:24:29.407-07:002013-06-23T23:24:29.407-07:00What an awesome year for you!

I don't listen to music when I am on the road so it lets my mind just wander as I run along. Never tried the Insanity but I have P90X and it's pretty good too.Kristina Walters @ Kris On Fitnesshttp://krisonfitness.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-525338596341670577.post-43260259093330218162013-06-20T11:42:12.798-07:002013-06-20T11:42:12.798-07:00I'm so excited to be running HTC with you!! I...I'm so excited to be running HTC with you!! It's a love/hate relationship with that run since it puts you in situations that you may not otherwise choose to run in, which for me is the first leg, often in the hottest part of the day that I dread. Give me an uphill, middle-of-the-night, dusty gravel road & I'm happy!<br /><br />May I suggest the San Francisco marathon next summer? It's got some elevation with the Golden Gate Bridge, but the changing scenery is spectacular & how many people get to say they ran across the Golden Gate Bridge?<br /><br />XO<br /><br />Jamienoreply@blogger.com
