[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: You’re invited to a pity party.
[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false] Please bring the pita chips. Remember when my face nearly fell off from the sheer excitement of attending The Martha Stewart Show, with my dog and my boyfriend? Well, I had to scrape that very same freckled face off the floor last…

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: (Strange) dreamin’ of the marathon.
[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false] This week, I have alternated between not sleeping at all, and passing out immediately, only to have the strangest dreams about the marathon. They’re like the dreams I had the summer I waitressed (the ones where you think you forgot about a…

Today: I have a good feeling about this.
[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false] I don’t know about you, but I have a feeling 2011 is going to be one for the record books. Or, the comic books at the very least. We ushered out 2010 with our last long run with Team in Training, as…

Today: 18 miles of smiles.
[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false] I can hardly believe it. I ran 18 miles and I– this is the really unbelievable part– kind of enjoyed it. It’s amazing what you can accomplish with a new pair of socks, fresh jams on the iPod and a positive attitude. After…
