3:25, 3:15, sub 3:00 marathon? The sky's the limit! I want to see how fast I can get! :) 

Personal:

I started running in 2009, and am still learning a lot about running. Right now I have it made, I am living in Cambridge, MA temporarily doing a Post-Doc at MIT and taking advantage of improving my running by learning from all the speedy Boston runners and hitting the hills. I travel to FL to visit my family and get some "heat" training in. Then travel back to Chicago frequently to see my husband and show off my new running legs in all the flat, fast races.

Haha, this was a lot of fun! I just kind of made it up during my wu. Big Sur has a 5% climb over 2 miles around mile 10 of the marathon followed by (debatably) 13 smaller hills. I figured I'd find out now what those smaller hills would feel like. Not too shabby. :)

Thanks, Julie! Your blog isn't depressing to me. I can sense your pain, but it is truly motivating to read about how you go out every day and get your runs in no matter what life throws at you.

Yes, Boston 2014! I'm excited. I'm glad it's so far away so I can soak it all in. :)

I love to watch boston marathon on tv. My runs are so speedy right after a good viewing.

I read your blog today, what did you watch a rerun of the Boston Marathon this morning? That's one heck of a finish for an 18 miler. I hope one day I'll be able to do that. :)
