1. Skirts, skirts, skirts: Runningskirts.com skirts are a life saver in my book: no more chaffing! However, for July's (ultra)marathon, I would like to try a skirt that's a bit more airy and roomy. I've been hearing great things about Moeben skirts for ultra running, but have never tried their skirts.
I think this model is pretty cute:
Has any of you tried a Moeben skirt before? If so: comfortable? And how about the fit? I'm not too sure about the size. A small is a size 1-2 and a medium a size 2-4. How does this convert to runningskirts.com skirt size? (I'm a 1 in the running skirts)
2. Boston: I know the entire blogger's community is blogging and FB-ing (is that even a word?) about it, but still I feel the need to jump on this train. Yep, Boston has changed their qualifying times. Read the announcement: here. I would love to qualify for Boston, and was just getting used to the idea of having to train for a 3:40 full marathon. With the new qualifying times I'd have to run a 3:35 and would still not know for certain if I'd get in or not. And there's where Negative Nancy comes in: am I (what I mean: is this body) capable of running a 3:35 full marathon? It seems incredibly fast for slow me. Thoughts?
3. Happy Birthday to....ME!: My birthday is this Saturday! :) And nope, I'm not telling you how many candles my cake will have on it. ;) In the last couple of weeks friends and family have been asking me what's on my 'wish list'. I've been trying to figure out what I'd really love to have as a birthday present, but can't come up with anything. There is seriously not a single thing that I want/need, that I don't already have. 'Health' would be a great gift, but you can't wrap that in pretty paper, can you. :) I guess this makes me a happy girl. :)

You have the same Bday as Mr Half Tri-ing. Happy early Birthday. I say go for the BQ. You can do it!
That skirt looks cute! Happy early birthday!!
Happy early birthday chica!!! Have a blast celebrating this week and why not tell everyone to buy you running skirts?!?!? :)
I think you could do anything you set your mind on, 3:35 included.
You can do a 3:#5 girl.
you. freaking. know. it.
Happy early birthday. Celebrate starting NOW!!
ummm 3:35 that is. ;)
Yes, I do believe that you can run a 3:35 marathon and that you can qualify for Boston. As someone who has been lucky enough to run it three times (for charity) I consider it the finest marathon on the planet.
Have a wonderful birthday.
All the best,
Ron
Happy early birthday!!
I have never run in a running skirt, but me and my ladies are for Ragnar Relay this year!
They are super cute!
Oh the Boston changes-it stinks but maybe its better that way. New York is still more difficult to qualify for. It seems crazy that Boston sold out in 8 hours this year! I just don't know how I feel about the rolling registration.
I am first going to say Happy Birthday to You!!!! Awesomeness.
As for Boston....I am happy they changed the times. I have not qualified as of yet and I plan on doing it and whether it is 3:15 or 3:10 I am still going to train just as hard and push myself to reach that holy grail and you can too.
Happy early birthday!
What are you buying for me?! My birthday is this Saturday also!

my first two marathons were 4:54 and 4:58...3:35 is definitely possible for you!!
Alvast gefeliciteerd en wie weet lop je die 3:35 uur op de marathon, of gewoon wqachten tot je ouder bent zodat de tijden minder scherp zijn ;-).
Thanks, all, for the early birthday wishes! :) And thanks for all the positive BQ-vibes! :)
@ Kevin: depends on what you're getting me. ;)
