Easy Being Greene
I like to run.
I love my husband. I love my cat.
I want to honor God with everything I do.
I'm becoming a new me.
I've lost almost 20 lbs since January 2011 and for me that translates to be about 3 pants sizes. I'm not done yet, but I don't exactly know what my end goal is. I don't think I'll ever be "done." I'm loving my body more everyday.

Feeling better. At the race with Cristin. We’re standing in front of a gigantic course map. 50 miles looks like a LONG way.

We survived!
Details coming later.

Long run Saturday, uh-oh
So not ready. I’m excited, nervous, and more than a little scared.
Today, we’re gonna run 6 miles. Yes, I’m saying we. You...

PT Saturday - aka. 30 minutes of pain
I am never ever keen for personal training on a Saturday morning. I’m always tired. So tired. My PT always...

TUMBLR IN REAL LIFE. What a joy. Always is.
Friends and macarons, can you really go wrong? I always leave our meet ups somehow feeling lighter,...
I’m not sure about my place, but I finished under 1:39.:)
Race day! Zoom Annapolis Half Marathon- here I come!
First race without Ethan. Just Kristan and I. I’m going to kill it. Despite what you hates said, I’ve got beets in my oatmeal.
SOS Day 3 - 130.8
I think this is from my sadness yesterday and not wanting to eat or drink a whole lot.
Thanks everyone for the support that you’ve shown me through such a roller coaster of a day. Right now, I still have a bunch of shock and denial, a bit of guilt, and a lot of anger because of the death of my student. I’ll probably make a longer post tomorrow after I have 13.1 miles to reflect on it.
In other news! To keep myself from thinking about death, I focused on my race tomorrow. I made a beet tart (no, not a beef fart) so that I can go fast. It turned out great! (minus the crumbly crumbly crust. I guess that’s gluten’s job)
Then my friend K and I went to pick up our race packet (even though there were severe thunderstorm and tornado warnings). Got some free Honest T and Muscle Milk. Saw a really pretty bike that I definitely can’t afford. K even got some headbands. See the one on her head? Super cute.
Then I came home and finished making my race shirt for tomorrow. Elephant in the room, anyone? I feel like I’ll have an elephant following me around for the next few days - might as well race like one.
Need to be in bed soon, so that I’m well rested and run my heart out tomorrow.
And again - thanks to those of you who took the time to comment. It’s not an easy thing to do when things are crappy. This sucks bad like nothing has ever sucked before. Much love
Pre race breakfast idea
I’ve got big beets and I cannot lie
Thrift Store Therapy
I found a walker dip station for $4.99 and a soon-to-be racer back shirt for $2.99.
That’s my Nataly. She was in my class.
Day 0: 132.2
Day 1: 131.6
Day 2: 131.2
Sweet. Just need to make sure I drink enough water today.
NERD ALERT! The most fun part about this is that I made an excel sheet and I’m just excited to fill it up! I think that may be the biggest motivator in all of this.
Decided to take the run nice and easy tonight.
3.33 miles in 31:37, ~9:30 pace
Pushups were tough after the run though.
21-25-21-21-33(max)
Total pushups: 121
Gun Show Thursday: I got the lighting juuuuuuuuust right.
