[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false]For the past three years, my pals Kristine, Christie and I have run the Revlon Run/Walk for Women in New York. Prior to the marathon, this was easily the biggest race I’d participated in, with tens of thousands of runners and walkers tackling…

Today: I feel like I won the lottery.
[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false]Because I did. Seriously. Except that it’s the kind of lottery that costs money when you win, and has the potential to break your legs and crush your soul. But like the regular lottery, it can change your life. By some miracle (or…

Today: Seven in the rain.
[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false]For the first time, and likely last time, ever I outran Nick this weekend… um, but only because he got injured at last week’s soccer game. We planned to stay close to our little team’s home base at the South Boston Running Emporium…

Today: The day after Marathon Monday.
[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false] Yesterday began much like any other Monday, with me wondering how my toothbrush fell directly into the toilet (don’t worry, I had a new one at the ready) and trying to wrangle Clark in time for Day School drop-off. He’s like a kindergartner,…

Today: While I’m 29 (and superfine).
[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false] I was able to cross of most of the items on my “While 28” list, and even surprised myself a bit. I originally hoped to run my first half marathon, and then figured… balls to the wall. Or whatever that expression is. …

Today: Let’s get physical.
[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false] The downside to kicking the year off (BAM!) by running a marathon is that, well, what else is there left to do? I mean, clearly there is a lot left to do (not the least of which is laundry), but I’ve spend…

Today: Will run for chocolate and flowers.
Even if they’re possibly expired and carnations, respectively. On Saturday, my domestic life partner and I kicked off the Valentine’s Day romance by nearly collapsing a lung or two. That may have been an overstatement. Anyway, nothing says I love you quite like Spandex, sneakers…

Today: Super hair.
[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false] Most of the country is getting ready to watch the Super Bowl and/or eat buffalo wings and mini hotdogs. I’m a vegetarian, so I have a little bit of extra time on my hands. Time to spend looking at hairdos. The NFL…
