Welcome. This is the former home of "Jen's Birthday Challenge '08". The challenge has come and gone, as have 4 years (wowza!). Ever since I got a green plastic cup advertising the Shamrock Marathon (while at the MCM expo) I've wanted to run this race. I'm finally going to run it next year over my 31st birthday weekend. Yay! This site will be my training log, my sounding board and a place where I will post random pics of my new lab puppy (you have been warned). Thanks for reading.

Yay.
I had a great run tonight and figured I should blog about since it seems like all I do on here is bitch and moan. ;) It was a 3 miler after work in my new shoes - details to follow later - and felt fan-friggin-tastic. My legs felt strong and all they wanted to do was go FASTER! My first mile was sort of a warm up but the rest were fast by my standards: 10:05, 2nd: 9:33, 3rd: 9:09. It has made a huge difference that I moved the treadmill so that it's not facing the wall. Now it is literally in the middle of the room...at an angle...so that I can see the tv. Priorities, people! I don't think the feng shui is particularly stellar and it looks like hell but it helps me run. So as long as Dave can tolerate it, I'm all for it. Now that that's out of my system I've got to go to bed. Happy hump day ya'll.
