Anybody interested in buying my Dogfish Dash bib from me? Being an adult with wedding stuff and wedding expenses and a new house coming up, it’s probably best that I don’t go. (But I could still go if no one wants the bib...) Registration transfers are only until August 1. If you or anyone you know are interested in buying the bib for $45, let me know and we can work out the details. Thanks!

Too much fun with the gif creator. But guess who ran THREE MILES ON THE TREADMILL this morning?
MEEEEEEEEE.
Yes, I know, eventually broken toes do have to heal so this was inevitable but still, YAY! Also, why do injury weeks feel so much longer than regular weeks There is definitely still progress to be made since my toe still hurts in certain situations but I RAN.
I spent all weekend at Rehoboth Beach for the annual Dogfish Dash (where I ran into @erin-irl!). I have to admit, not running it was actually kind of...nice? The pressure was off so I drank beer and sangria all day Saturday, had some delicious fajitas for dinner and on Sunday morning I cowbelled for the runners until my knuckles bled (true fact). It was also a HOT weekend so I’m glad I didn’t have to push myself in the heat!
However, I didn’t love it enough to want to skip the race again next year. Just to be clear.
(Hidden) Graphic T-Shirt Friday
Did I tell you guys I got moved to a cubicle? I got moved to a cubicle. Which is totally fine since I only work in the office twice a week and I have a WINDOW now. Downside: it's really cold up here! Hence the hoodie. I'm also wearing a pretty boring t-shirt with no story other than it's pretty and has sparkles and I like it.
The sun is shining again! We had two days of grey and rainy weather but the sun is back and life is once again good! Actually, I got up super early to run yesterday morning (it was still dark, gross) and realized it was pouring buckets. So I treadmill'ed at the gym instead. No stats: it was a slow and easy 5 miles. Caught up on some HGTV, did some people watching, the usual.
The exciting news is that I'm heading to Rehoboth after work today! I'm doing the Dogfish Dash again and I'm pretty excited. It was such a fun race last year (that I PR'd in, woot woot) so I'm looking forward to it. I don't think a PR is in the cards for me this weekend since I'm marathon training and my pace has naturally slowed a bit with that (I just looked at my stats from next year...definitely no PR this time around!). Also, I'm running 10 miles tomorrow morning (12 miles on the schedule but with a 10k on Sunday, I can justify a slight drop, right?).
I'm just thinking I'll go faster than marathon pace if I can...maybe right around 7:45-7:50. We'll see how I feel Sunday morning.
Oh, and in case you are wondering (and I know you all were), I will of course be wearing shwings on Sunday. What kind of runblr do you think I am?!
Happy Friday tumblr!
In case anybody is interested, registration opens for the Dogfish Dash 10k and 5k at NOON EST today! I ran the 10k last year and am planning on doing it again this year. Last year, it sold out in 37 minutes.
Motivation: three free Dogfish Head beers at the finish.
Coffeeeeeee
My pledge to drink less caffeine goes out the door when someone offers to stop at Starbucks. I mean...come on. There's only so strong you can be in the face of a good soy misto (conversation over the phone: Coworker--wtf is a misto? That's not a thing. Mallory--it's Starbucks language. Just say it, they'll know).
So in the spirit of having some good ole fashioned caffeine, here are some things I might mention:
1. BOOTS. I am wearing my new boots for the first time and they. are. faaaaab. And terrible for my arches so I'm sitting a lot today. But yay fall!
2. On the subject of fall. It's here. Officially, even. And my run this morning was five kinds of amazing which makes up for my stupid hungover run from Saturday. I'm not even going to post that run (it was 10 miles) because...it was gross. Fun fact, happy hour beers are not great fuel for a run.
But this morning:
Delicious.
3. I have a compulsive need to overschedule my life. I am leaving for Delaware on Friday to run the Dogfish Dash on Sunday. But naturally, I volunteered to work the opening sale at the ski store Thursday and Friday evenings, 6-9pm. I am going to be broke from moving so this is good money wise. Bad for breathing time. But who needs to clean or eat? Not this girl!
4. Moving! November 1! Still happening! Aaaaaah!
5. I'm doing the 10k for the Dogfish Dash because, who wants to drive all the way there for a 5k? Silly. So now of course I'm thinking about time and pace and all that. I've only ever run the Marine Corps 10k and that's so bottlenecked and crowded that I'm super slow. Ideally, I would love to hit 46 minutes. Probably looking more at 48 though. But anywhere between the two would be good by me!
6. Realized I have navy running shoes and turquoise shwings (gave my others away at the Odyssey). Unacceptable. And I need them for this weekend, obvio so the only ones on Amazon with Prime shipping were these:
Yessss.
