Running For Tiffany's

I'm a 29 year old woman living in the SF Bay Area. I've run (and walked) the 2014 and 2015 Nike Women's Half Marathon. My running is a bit sporadic lately, but I enjoy running races and collecting the shirts, medals, and goodies that come along with them :) I also have another Tumblr personal finance: imagrownup.tumblr.com

It’s me... I needed to hear it. I have two limited edition Moleskine journals in my online cart.

The last thing you ate + the first thing you see when you look to your left is the title of your pretentious lifestyle blog.

Right now, mind would be called Pizza and Prints.

I am SO TIRED of talking to people.

I stg after November 8th I’m gonna go dark and not talk to anyone for a week.

[chrisdoeslife]

I made 180 calls and had to talk to three pissed off Libertarians who want to defund everything. I deserve ice cream.

[runningfortiffanys]

Totally feel you. Got dragged into doing an insane amount of work at my job this week. Have a 10 hr work day today. I want to hit everybody with a "don't talk to me, bro." Ugh.

Race to the End of Summer 10k

I did the Race to the End of Summer 10k this morning.  This was my 3rd time completing this race.  I think I’ll continue doing it for as long as I can since it brings some pretty happy memories.  It was the first real race I did while I was training for my first NWM, it’s near my parents’ home, part of the route goes along a trail I used to go on bike rides with my dad and brother when I was younger.  It’s probably one of the friendliest races ever.  Plus they don’t skimp on the post-race snacks!

About 4 miles in I started experiencing hip pain that made it really difficult to run through.  I walked for a good amount of the last couple of miles.  I was able to pull through the last stretch and run, though.  I got a great soft tissue massage after the race ended, and it helped a great deal.  It was only on my left side, though.  My hips are still very, very sore even now and I’m not sure if it’s soreness from working them out and stretching or from overuse.  I’m planning on getting a sports massage this week to help with the pain.  I’m also extremely tight.  I have a confession to make: I can’t touch my toes.  I probably haven’t been able to since high school.  I have to worst habit of not stretching.  Mostly because I’m so embarrassed for other people to see how stiff I really am and then too lazy to commit to a routine at home.  I plan to get better though.  I think if I stay committed I’ll be able to touch my toes by the end of the year.  At least I hope... my hammies are notoriously tight.  My hips are also a pain in the rear as well (literally and figuratively).

Nike Running Tour

I’m so excited about the Nike world run tour! I just wish it was a ta time when I had more money.  I’d love to run the half marathon in Rio, it coincides with Spring Break.  Though I’m already hoping/planning on going to Rio this summer for the Olympics.  And there’s the whole visa requirement, I don’t think the visa exception takes place until summer.

[runningfortiffanys]

There are rumblings that there won’t be a Nike Women’s Half Marathon in SF next year.  Hoping it isn’t true.

[runningfortiffanys]

I made it to green just a little over a week before the Nike half

[runningfortiffanys]

Challenged myself to work through my extreme sleepiness and soreness from yesterday’s work out to get through today's time trials. Getting lapped (twice) was a but of a blow to my ego, especially since I'm still yearning for the days when I was more in shape back in my high school days. Ah well, I just have to be patient and keep at it.

My legs, hips, and glutes are also super tight.  My foam roller and marathon sticks are going to be my greatest friends this week.
