Foto Friday - new doggie distance PR

Just took my mom's dog with me for a run (well, Lordie and I did that), and Diddy ran a new distance PR: 25K. Can you say 'one fit pup'? ;) Hope you all have a great weekend! :)

Three Things Thursday

1. Double fun: Guess who pre-registered for Edinburgh Marathon 2012? Yep, moi, but also... Rebecca! Woohoo! Can't wait to check out those kilts together! :) I won't make you try Haggis, Becka, promise! ;)

2. I'm so vain: No, not really. Not at all, actually. It's just that I'll have to have some shirts at the printer, since I still hope on running one of the distances of the Swiss Alpine Marathon. But...mountain weather. I remember last year: it was freezing cold and raining the days leading up to the 2010 race, only for it to be perfect sunny mountain weather on the day of the race. So...tank top, short sleeve, long sleeve, maybe even a jacket. Not to mention what to have the printer print on that whole pile of technical gear.

Any ideas on a funny phrase to have printed on the shirts? :)

3. Merrell Pace Gloves: Will post a review soon, but for now...I love these shoes. I honestly couldn't have figured out that these shoes would be that comfortable! I even find myself walking around in these babies on Casual Friday at work, and I keep telling myself that that's okay. ;) My co-workers don't seem to think so. ;)

Any Pace Gloves' lovers out there? I'd like to add your thoughts on the gloves to my review!

Wordless Wednesday

Shameless self-promotion? Or a weird attempt to get more than 2 people to read this blog? ;)

I have no arm. Apparently.

Sick day

Am neglecting the blog today. Bloody old kidney is misbehaving again (damn chronic disease). On top of it, I'm pretty sure that I now have snot coming out of my pores. Enough said.

Any tips on how to get rid of the snot, are more than welcome!

I'm obsessed

Found myself watching Swiss Alpine Marathon clips on YouTube for the whole of last night. I'm obsessed. Enough said. (And yes, the comments are in swiss. ;))

What's your 'I'm obsessed' race? Please share!
