@runningonsmoothies @littlebean-jellybean i can’t reply to posts but i’m glad you both had the same reaction to anon as me hahah

Wow THANK YOU guys for responding! That was probably one of the most stressful 10 minutes of my whole entire life. I signed up for the 10 mile! I figured I could sign up for any old 10k for an official PR, and if I’m going to travel all the way to Washington, I’d better run as much as I can! 

Sad news, they were all out of the VIP packages. :( They were already at 191/200 yesterday, and apparently registration has been open for over a month but Oiselle didn’t send out the email until today so no such luck. But still!! Going to be part of Oiselle’s first road race!!!

Also, in my frenzied state I forgot to mention: here is the info for registration--prices increase tomorrow so if you also want to be rash like me and sign up, do it!! And let me know because it would be awesome to run a race with someone!)

And now I am going to go on my run like I was going to do before I checked my email.

@runningonsmoothies I’m not saying you should sign up, but you should definitely sign up....

sending you love <3 i don't have experience with that but i will say that i was terrified before i got my thyroidectomy, but i honestly don't remember anything about that day after sitting down in the hospital bc anesthesia is a magical thing.

thanks katie!! that’s good to hear! i’m just stressing because the doctor showed me a v e r y graphic video of what the procedure will look like and it was a bit traumatic haha

oh i feel you on this. i know you’re not fostering this baby, but the video “foster failing” by the kitten lady on youtube is helpful in these situations! a good reminder that if we adopted all the babies we want then we’d have to stop giving our time to shelter/foster friends.

thanks katie, i’ll check out the video! 💛  it’s more just a sense of frustration at the moment that i’m not at a point in my life where i can have a pet :( i’m not a very patient person haha.

Oh man, this just keeps getting better and better!

@katherinerunson I am SO excited, we’re gonna have so much fun!!! I also fully adopted the “do now, figure the rest out later” attitude and I have no doubts that it’s the right way to go! :)

@thelongtimesun (and @runningonsmoothies) I AM IN!!!!!!!! Tentatively! But like 99% YES. This all depends on whether or not I choose to work at my summer camp again this year but I made a bunch of pro/con lists today and I’m pretty sure I’m not going to. And this race looks so awesome! A bunch of badass women, mountains, camping, they give to charity, AND strive to be a zero waste event!!! I am actually so giddy just thinking about this! Plus I’ve been talking to a friend about going to Yosemite in July and it would be so easy to just make a vacation out of it. And double plus, the race is the day before my birthday!! What a stellar way to spend my birthday weekend! No convincing needed I am there!

I have always said that I would never do an ultra but I dunno...I might be considering the 50k?? I am scared of that idea but so stoked about this race, and what better way to PR a distance than to run it for the first time??

Holy smokes I am so excited for all these upcoming Washington adventures!!!
