83 weeks ago I had to pull the plug on running for two months because my knees tapped out, 77 weeks ago I was cleared to run again, 20 weeks ago I quit drinking, and I have 21 weeks left until Operation: Deep Dish (aka, crushing the shit out of the Chicago Marathon and eating all the deep dish pizza after). Forward momentum, people, forward momentum.
Today was the Sugarloaf Marathon and the Chicago Marathon is 21 weeks away. I’m inspired to train my ass off for Chicago by all the people who crushed it today, but also by the memory of my last marathon (which was at Sugarloaf in 2017, pictured here). I don’t want this to be what I think of when I think of the marathon. I was injured, overweight, in terrible shape physically and even worse shape mentally. 2019 is the year to make new marathon memories.
When you are reading a novel and you totally relate to the main character. Ralph Roberts, I wish I could sleep more too, buddy. #storyofmylife
Sunday was the first time in my running life I won my age group. That includes a race where I was the only person not to win an age group award. Being 45 isn’t so bad.
Monday Night Rollins? More like Sunday Morning Martin. @wwerollins #belikenoone #burnitdown
My theory for buying gifts for a 6-year-old: buy him something you know he’ll think is cool (this kid loves trains) and something you want him to think is cool (Seth Rollins is the man, but not The Man, that’s Becky Lynch).
