So today’s post isn’t about me.  And its not about you.  Its about a pretty blonde 14 year old who should be my age, in college, and loving life.  But Kati isn’t here today because 7 years ago, on March 31, 2004 that pretty blonde girl went to Heaven.  She fought the Leukemia hard.  And she beat it once!  But it came back and God wanted her home.  Kati is one of your most special honored teammates at the Maryland Chapter of Team in Training.  Her dad, Rick, is one of the most dedicated and hardest workers I’ve ever seen and he is relentless in finding a cure for the awful disease that took one of his little girls.  The following story is something Rick has shared with us time after time, and every time is gets me.  Take a minute to read it…I promise you won’t regret it.

“Johns Hopkins Hospital has as part of their staff, Child Life Specialists. These are well trained individuals that help young patients cope with procedures and their diseases through counseling and play. Kati dearly loved them and would often be found while in the hospital following one or the other around, helping.  Once while Kati was helping she learned of something the specialists did for parents about to lose their child, they would make a plaster cast of the child’s hand for the parents to keep.

I knew of this too having visited a few parents on the Pediatric Intensive Care floor. I remember one day Kati and I walked through our favorite toy store and we came across a kit that made impressions of a child’s hand, I looked at my ten year old child and wished she didn’t know the things she did. Kati looked up to me, she gave me a hug as we slowly moved forward. She was again taking care of me.

When Kati relapsed one of the things that bothered her most was she couldn’t go out and be with the Team at trainings. One day while we were at the hospital Kati had this thoughtful gaze, and then she asked me, “Daddy you know the handprints they make for parents?” I said I remembered, she then asked, “If something happened to me would you be terribly upset if you didn’t have one?” I answered, “If you don’t want us making one it won’t bother me not to have one.” Kati then said, “Well, it’s not that I don’t want one made, I just thought we could give it to Ms. Jess (the TNT Campaign Director at the time) and she would have it for the Teams, it would be like I was still giving them high fives.” That she would think of that blew me away and I said “Of course.”

I honored Kati’s wish and when the Child Life Specialist came that evening we knew the end was near, I told her I would like her to make one, and I told her of Kati’s wish. That dedicated, compassionate soul wound up making two that night. So one is with me and there is one with Team in Training.

Soon after her passing a group from the many Team in Training alums Kati touched got together and decided to make a memorial to her and Kati’s dedication to the Team and to finding a cure for blood cancer to help all those yet to come. They decided to incorporate that hand, and they decided to make that memorial at the place that made Kati happier than any other, Mile Marker 1 of the Baltimore Annapolis Trail where Team in Training meets to start their training.” -Rick Fisher.

Kati’s biggest goal was to run a marathon for TNT.  But she never made it to 16 (the minimum age requirement for most marathons).  So I run for Kati today!  She was and is our biggest fan…and we are hers.  Please, please, please…run BECAUSE YOU CAN!  Run for something bigger than you.

Sometimes you meet a group of people that just touch your life.  I have been so blessed to have many people like this come into my life, because of running, in the past 2 years.  For me, running has always been about being a part of something.  My very first catastrophe of a run was with my dad, and from there the two of us trained with a team of people.  Ever since then I have had an awesome support group of friends surrounding my life.  I have been so inspired and encouraged by others, and from what I’m told…I do the same for others.  Through TNT and the store (Charm City Run isn’t just a running store.  It’s truly a running family and I’ve started calling it Charm City Crack because whether you work there, are a customer, or are part of a training group…once you’ve had a hit, you can’t stop coming back.  What can I say…we’re a cult and we love each other haha).  For the past 3 months I have had the amazing pleasure of coaching an AWESOME group of people.  We’ve been there together thru some SERIOUSLY cold and icy track runs and long runs and always come out smiling.  I love every second with these people and watching them all smash their goals at the race last weekend was so awesome!

This picture kind of describes my feelings for the group:

Rob kicking it to his 1:16 Half Marathon finish! Hmm...can you spot me on the left??

So you should take two things from the above picture.  1) No matter what time each person on my team finished, I was ecstatic for them.  As in jumping up and down, screaming, being crazy.  2)  Even though I didn’t run…I managed to make it into a finisher’s photo.

Was the race FAR from perfect?  Yes.  Did my team do perfect?  Yes.  So last night, during our usual track workout time, we all headed to a local bar and celebrated.  And celebrate we did.  It was an amazing time.  The group made me cry.  The wine was fabulous.  That may have added to the crying.  Pictures were taken.  Hugs were given…all in all it was a wonderful time and I will MISS THESE people so much in the following weeks!  But don’t worry, most of us will be back for more for the Summer Training group in a few weeks.  Told ya.  Crack.  And sorry some of these pictures suck…don’t know what was going on with the focus.

To my group:  I LOVE you all!  Thank you not only for the beautiful gift but for letting me be a part of your awesome journey this past season.  KEEP RUNNING!  See yall soon : ).  Live.  Give.  Run.

Oh and then I get back to find an e-mail from a certain amazing lady.  And I cried even harder.

Tears.  It means so much to me when I can touch someone’s life and help them reach their potential that they may not know exists.  But the truth is, every time I work with a group…I’m really the one who benefits.  I love all of them, they teach me SO much and I am so inspired in so many ways.  Isn’t the running community just sooo cool??!

I took all the comments and put them into a spread sheet then added the earned number of entries up (number may not correspond to the direct comment number since some comments were combined entries or earned more entries, etc.  Ended up with 60+!  I asked Sandy to pick a number, she chose 18 (her b-day is 1-18) making winner #1 this comment

Then I let the bug play with my key board.  He typed “hjfdhy43hfbbb   …wwwa’;pld” And that’s a direct quote.  So I figured #43 stood out in there.  So winner #2 corresponds to this comment.

So there ya have it…Jamie and Georgene…take a look around www.bicbands.com and see what ya like.  Shoot me and email and we’ll get ya set up!  If you didn’t win…you should still get some!  I promise you won’t be disappointed.  I’m placing another order and soon as I can decided which patterns to narrow it down too!

WANTED: Summer/early Fall marathon training partner.

Greater Baltimore county area. Must love running and be willing to tackle weekly long runs with availability Juneish-November 6th. Starting date is flexible. Must be willing to push me but understand I will have cranky run days. Also must be willing to have your photo taken and published on my blog. Should also be willing to take on a strange nickname. Also must be good at story telling, and be prepared to listen to my random ranting and ramblings. Should also be somewhat good with directions considering I never will be. Timeliness not really a factor. Just don’t stand me up. A love for cupcakes, bright colors, knee high socks, and skirts are encouraged. Must also be able to tolerate my fabulous running apparel. You are allowed to be jealous. Oh, and must be willing to take a branch for the team (ie. me). I’m really good at running into them. Salary is unfortunately nonnegotiable, as there is no salary. Bad attitudes need not apply. A little more altitude, a little less attitude. Must also understand that DNF is not an option.  If you don’t know what DNF means, you need not apply.  Ability to kick my butt to a sub-4 is highly desired. Interested applicants please contact my receptionist…aka my facebook page or blog.

Okay enough of that…this is the first time since last Augst that I haven’t had bi-weekly coaching obligations.  I don’t like calling them obligations because that seems to sound negative and the truth is I’ve loved every second of it, but I don’t like saying coaching duties because the 3 year old in me still thinks that’s a funny word.  But you know what I mean.  And this means for the first time since August, my running is based solely on me.  SCARY!   I have to focus on my own goals, not someone else’s.  I have to focus on my own training schedule and progress, not those of others.  It’s a weird feeling.  Especially when I realized next weekend I have my last big long run left before Boston, aka 20 miles, and no group to meet up with for any part of it!

The good news is I’m heading down to Richmond to stay at T’s house this weekend to run the Ukrop’s Monument 10K on Saturday (she’s signing Dizzle up for the kids run!).  I was offered a free entry and have always wanted to run this one!  Its hugely popular on the East Coast and have a big costume contest with CASE PRIZES.  I have something up my sleeve but I’ll share that later this week.  Oh and I also happen to have a really awesome friend who lives in Richmond willing to put me up, so yep…I’m in.  This is both good and bad.  Bad as in I absolutely cannot let myself race this 10K and still get in a solid 20 miler in the same weekend.  My body just doesn’t do that and since I am currently on the very verge of a few injuries (feeling those scary twinges in the left hamstring and IT) so I need to take this run easy and fun.  This also means I had to run 20 miles solo, at some point Sunday.

In comes the wonderful and talented Officer McSpeedy to the rescue.  I got a message in my FB inbox the other day that read…

“So…. I was thinking we can make a couple of changes in my schedule to facilitate a 20 miler in a couple of different ways. First, Enjoy your run on Saturday and take a rest day Sunday. I can definitely blow off work do my workly responsibilities with 110% effort to the point that they will want to promote me to “best worker ever” on Monday for a decent 20 miler.”

Okay so I reworked a sentence in there but I’m not telling you which one.  Of course I told him that he was a rockstar and I was down.  In case you forgot, Officer McSpeed pushed me through my fasted training run ever so it will be challenging but awesome.  And he tells funny stories so that’s a plus.  He then messaged me again and that covo went a little something like this…

So there ya have it.  I have awesome friends who understand that the insanity of my running bring sanity to my life.  That’s why I love this blog!  I have so many people to push me to my limits, even when I set limits that don’t exist.  So thanks!

PS: little fun fact about Officer McSpeedy…he may or may not have been one of those lucky people that got to run around DC searching for me when I took a few wrong turns and turned a 4 mile run into a 9 mile panicked sprint during the relay last year…(haven’t read that one yet?  check it out HERE…scroll down to #18).  Oh…and he’s a model for Runner’s World with pretty sweet sweat bands.

try not to be too jealous of that uber flattering 15 mins of fame

Sorry McSpeedy…that’s what you get for being nice to me I guess…or for that whole bag of frozen peas incident.  But that’s a story for another time.

THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED! Thanks for entering!

I know I do!  But this is about yall.  Here’s giveaway #3 of Reader Appreciation Week.  Honestly, not much needs to be said about this one.  If you have any things from www.runningskirts.com, then you understand the amazingness that is RS.  If you don’t…just hop around a few running blogs, or check out the face book page HERE and you will soon be hooked!  Those of us who have been “skirted” are a bit cult like.  We love our skirts, we run and live in our skirts, and like to take pictures of yourselves in said skirts.  Like I said, if you have something from RS you understand, if you haven’t tried one yet…here’s your chance!

Running Skirts was started by twin sisters, Cindy and Christy and their company has since grown to become a running and expo staple!  These two ladies are moms, business owners, designers, of and some super amazing athletes!  They prove that women can own their own business, take care of themselves, kill a training plan, and oh…raise a family!  And can look cute doing it!

Erin and myself working the RS booth with Cindy at the MCM expo last year

I will admit I was doubtful before actually trying a skirt.  My thighs touch.  They are friends and don’t like to be separated.  When I gain muscle, a lot of it goes to my quads, and therefore they will always touch.  As you can imagine I was worried about chafing issues but finally I gave the skirts and chance…and have been wearing them ever since (a little over a year).  They are so comfortable, flattering, they stay put, and come in the best colors and patterns!

Cindy just added a brand new addition to the family!

Being a tall girl (5’10.5), shorts are hard to wear for me.  I find they are super short, don’t cover my but, and bunch up/ride up.  While there are a FEW pairs of shorts I like for cross training, my skirts are my go to for runs.  I prefer the “running skirt style” but RS makes numerous different styles.  The winner of this giveaway will have THEIR CHOICE of the following styles…

• Running Skirt: “Our original running skirt style is made with super light sweat-wicking fabric.  Designed with an attached mesh brief with reverse seams to reduce chafing.  We have designed this fitness skirt with two roomy velcro closure side pockets.” Check out a video showing this style HERE.
• Athletic Skirt: “Our Athletic Skirts are also known as Fitness Skorts and are made with the super light quick-drying fabric as our other styles.  This skirt compression shorts underneath and two side pockets which are perfect for storing anything from energy gels to cell phones, ipods and even your tees and golf balls.  The inseam in our compression shorts is designed longer than most other skorts (starts at 5″ in length and increases with size)  and provides a fit the does not bunch or ride up. Our Athletic Skirt is cut a to fit roomier than our Running Skirt style and it is about 1.5″ longer than our Running Skirt style.  It is great for any sporty activity…. or simply day to day wear.”  Check out the video HERE.
• Basic Skirt/Tri Skirt: “This “LBS” Little Basic Skirt also known as our triathlon skirt,  is a versatile skirt to be worn over your favorite bike shorts or swim suit.  A bit longer than our running skirt style, this skirt is perfect for triathlons, cycling, spin class, and as a beach coverup!  Now you can have the best of both worlds – a super light weight skirt with 2 roomy pockets over your favorite cycle shorts or tights!”

All of the styles are so versatile!  When its chillier out, I comfortable throw my skirt over capris or tights (we all know tights on their own can sometimes leave little to the imagination so I like the cute coverage of the skirt), but RS also offers capri and SubZero skirts!  Oh and of course I love how actively involved RS is with MANY charities.

Alright enough talking…down to business.  Cindy and Christy have offered to skirt one of you!  1(one) winner will have their choice of any in stock running, athletic, or tri skirt (including all the brand new spring patterns that aren’t online yet!  Let’s just say sparkle heart, aqua dots, and mum patterns are right up my alley!)  I believe in these skirts so much that I convinced our owner to bring RS to our running store and well…now there are a lot of Baltimore ladies looking pretty stylish on the trail!

Conclusions of the Day:

• I have some great speedy buddies!
• Spectating is a lot of fun, but a lot of work (especially on a race with NO FORM OF RUNNER TRACKING!)
• Spectating induces runner envy
• Based off what I observed, I will never pay money to run National = (

First and foremost, a massive, huge, incredibly congrats to all my friends who ran today.  In less than ideal conditions, you all kicked it and did amazing.  I’m truly impressed!  PS I was a walking Charm City Run billboard until I had to pack on the layers over top to keep from freezing.

that tattoo did NOT want to come off.

As I stated above, they had absolutely no form of runner tracking.  Well that really sucks when you have about 20 people who are trying to track!  Because of this, I couldn’t navigate to different mile areas simply because I had no way of knowing that once I got to certain miles, if the people I was looking for would have already passed or not.  And the start was not exactly smooth.  Very poor planning and execution on the part of the organizers.  The metro was orignally reported to open at 5am, then they changed it to 6am.  The race directors told people they should be at the start by 6:15am or a 7am start!  Opening the metro at 6 was a TERRRIBLE idea.  And for people driving in, well yeah that sucked just as bad.

But Erin and I were able to get a hold of G who ended up having to drop T and their buddies on the side of the street so they could get there on time.  We finally found T in her corral and she had a total pre-kickass marathon glow!

Oh and Erin and I ran into Jamie!  Yay!  But no sign of Liz =(

Erin and I headed to the start line and watched everyone head out on their way.  One plus for this race is there was an indoor waiting area by the start/finish so we went inside to warm up a bit and try to work out a race plan.  I didn’t have a ton of time because I knew Rob would be done in about 75-80 mintues so we stuck by the finish for a while.  It was so much fun cheering on the elites as they flew in!  And then I saw a blue singlet coming around the corner and it was Rob!!! Finish time was 1:16 (just thinking about that makes me out of breath!).  He finished right before the first female.  Not too bad for a Novice distance runner (yep he’s a novice half marathoner and an elite…I guess some people were just built to do this haha)

Now one thing that REALLY bugged me was that the race officials and announcers LEFT to go to an award ceremony for the top 3 finishers. Why they need to do an award ceremony when only 15 people have finished I don’t know.  So they completely missed the top two women come in!  They didn’t announce them or anything!  Just so they could hold a ceremony for 3 men when they would have easily waited to do for another 15 mins.  Oh well…at least we were there to cheer for them!  Those ladies flew!

I think he has some awesome things in his racing future!

I got to see a bunch of my half group come in!  Almost everything keep their predicted time!  It was awesome watching people who at the beginning of the season were running 11 min miles come in under 2 hours!  Great job guys!  You all impressed me soo much!  I got a call from my poor co-coach/buddy Ericka.  Her foot has been bothering her but she decided to race, but by mile 7 she was in serious pain and stopped at the med station.  Poor girl could barely walk and was in tears…and THEY SENT HER BACK ON THE METRO! Hmm I’m not okay with that.

Next up we went to look for Liz.  Since we didn’t know what time she actually crossed the start we had no idea where she might be.  And of course Erin and I managed to take the long way around but we eventually made it to the half marathon/marathon split.  Saw T and she was on pace and looking good!

We weren’t seeing Liz so we started back tracking some more.  Once the runners started to thin out we were worried.  But alas…we get a call from her.  She finished with a BIG PR and must have ran right by us!  UGH!  Oh well she did did awesome!!!  And it was her birthday!

By that time, we knew if we grabbed the metro and headed to mile 20 we risked missing T.  Again, no runner tracking sucks.  So we made the decision to stay put.  I was kind of bummed since I would have liked to run a few miles with the ladies but it wasn’t worth risking missing her.  And plus, mile 20 wasn’t exactly in a spectator friendly area of DC if you know what I mean.  Heard from G…she had picked T up around 23 and were doing great!

So silly but I started getting so nervous and butterflies!  I wasn’t even running but we all know how kick ass T’s training has been and I was so excited for her to finally be able to run a marathon illness and injury free!  Got a text from G…23.5,  Sweet! We got an awesome spot by the finish and waited.  Before we knew it T was rounding the corner and hitting the finish line!  She looked awesome! and with that she had a MASSIVE PR!  SO PROUD AND EXCITED FOR HER!

And that brings me to my first points.  I have some pretty awesome friends.  Spectating is no joke!  Runner envy is inevitable but cheering on friends is awesome!  And unless there are HUGE improvements to National, I won’t be paying to run it anytime soon (um apparently there were all of about 4 mile markers on the entire marathon course!)

So CONGRATS to all my friends who ran today.  Was so impressed and inspired by all of you!  I have a shorter long run tomorrow then its PEAK WEEK #2 for me.  Wish me luck! This is all that’s left of my training plan.  This scares me.

1. According to random.org the winner of the Lock Laces Giveaway is lucky #13.  Making this the winning comment. Apparently confidence thinking does get you somewhere!  G, I’ll see ya this weekend so just let me know what color you want, or if you still want a surprise, I can do that as well.
2. The weather here in MD has been toying with us.  It has been typically in the 50′s-70′s the past two works or so.  And now the forecast for this weekend in MD/DC has been 40 degree high and chance of freezing rain/snow.  Snow I can handle, freezing rain?  No thanks.  Not great spectating/jumping in to run with buddies weather if you ask me.  As of now here is the current forecast…I’m hoping it sticks.
3. Speaking of National, if you’re a guy, and hoping to place.  And are around 30…sorry.  Because I know a certain speed demon who is going to smoke you.  We had our last track workout of the season Tuesday night (seriously if you’ve never done Indian Runs with a group, do them!  So fun and an awesome way to cheer or each other and recognize each others hard work).  If you’ve never done them, for the most part the group is running pretty much the same pace, and people take turns sprinting.  Well our one guy Rob, aka 16 min 5Ker (on a bad day), looked SOOO funny trying to hold his pace back with the rest of us.  The point of the workout was to have fun without anyone going nuts during taper week.  Rob is super sweet and never boasts about his speed, but well he laps us all…a lot so watching him try to keep pace with us was like watching a cheetah try to run along side a turtle.  We told him he was welcome to go ahead but he chose to stick with the group, can’t wait to watch him meet his 1:15 goal for the half on Saturday (nope…not 2:15.  1:15…as in 75 mins), in his Charm City Run gear of course.  I’m so excited for the whole group.  They’ve all come SO far and improved so much.  They are all going to kill that race!
   

   The group! My highlighter running attire has worn off on them ; )

Welcome to giveaway #2 of Reader Appreciation week (have you entered the Lock Laces giveaway yet?  If not check it out HERE).

But first I have to complain for a second (making you work for it).  I managed to pull an upper ab muscle on Monday.  I was sore yesterday but today its actually pretty painful.  Hard to explain, not like normal ab soreness (which I like).  Its only in the upper right side and is a very sharp pain.  Sitting or standing up all the way actually hurts because I feel like its stretching it too far.  Trying to sit up from laying down is another huge ouch.  Honestly not sure how I managed to do this, do you guys have any suggestions?  Ice just seemed to make it tighter so I’ve been applying some heart which feels pretty good but not making the pain go away when I’m sitting or standing.  And you can’t exactly rest your abs.  They are engaged pretty much all the time.  Advice please!

Okay giveaway time…in case you didn’t know, I’m a big head band fan.  I have bangs that don’t really fit in a pony tail and when they get sweaty, its gross and in my face.  But I have incredibly straight hair.  As in I don’t blow dry it and I’ve never touched a straightener but it never gets a single wave to it.  So head bands tend to slide right off.  In comes the non-slip variety.

Earlier last year Sandy was fundraising for TNT and started making head bands to sell to help raise funds.  She had a contest to name them and I won (BIC= Because I Can).  ”Because I can.”  Has been my own little running mantra for as long as I can remember.  When I started TNT, I came up with the phrase, “Because I can.  For those how can’t.  So someday they will”.  Well apparently Sandy liked my little slogan and it stuck =)  So I won a few free BIC Bands and have been loving them every since!  She even made me a custom band for my snow white outfit in Disney =)

(It had a cute bow on it!)

Of course there are, well, brand name head bands but honestly I find them just a bit expensive and I love buying from buddies!  Especially when every purchase benefits charity!  Every month Sandy supports a different charity and donates and at the end of the month, she donates a percentage of that months sales to the charity!  WHAT an awesome idea!

I have collected quite a few and if you haven’t tried them, now is your chance!  Or even if you have a few, here’s a chance to get a few more!  Sandy is offering a BIC band of choice to TWO winners!

Before I say anything, a HUGE shout out and congrats to one of my Half Training group ladies, aka FitMomma (aka she has a training schedule, children ranging from 2-21, oh and she home-schools them!), who PRerd by OVER 10 MINS this weekend at the shamrock 1/2!  And that is since her last half in October.  Do the Math, that means she knocked more than 10 mins off her half time in about 4.5 months.  Just saying…sometimes when I coach people…they do well ; ).  Congrats FitMomma!  I knew you had some hidden speed you weren’t letting coming out!  Can’t wait to see how well you do on your next go round! Just shows that no matter how busy you are, if running is a passion for you and something you really love, you can find the time to train properly!  Yet again Running Momma and Dads are such an inspiration to me!  Now if we could only get her on the blogging ban wagon…

So at the time I posted the Lock Laces giveaway…I had a little something up my sleeve but wanted to get the details set before moving forward.  The Lock Laces Giveaway HERE is the first giveaway in a series this week.  Over the past year and a half this blog has grown from a simple journal of my daily thoughts (that I thought only I would ever be interested in reading), to a huge support system place of friends, encouragement, and well…funny people.  As a thank you for supporting my blogging, running, health, happiness, listening to my stupid jocks and random rants, etc., this week I am giveaway some of my favorite gear!

A HUGE thank you to LOCK LACES, Running Skirts, and BIC Bands (have you checked out the new site??) for sponsoring this week’s giveaways!  There may be a few more things worked in there this week but definitely keep a look out for reviews and giveaways from those wonderful brands!

Okay.  I take back everything I’ve ever said about Miley (yeah I’m lying I don’t take it all back but some of it).  Because if this girl has made a dime off of her video I this our country is coming to an end.  Pretty much this 13 year old, Rebecca Black, has parents who felt it was a great thing to do to dish out thousands to make this video happen.  It’s painful, but try to sit through it…it will make the next video all the more hilarious.

Okay I do apologize but PLEASE watch this.  Omgsh I could not stop laughing watching it.  At least there are some talented people left in the world : )
