1. This week I have another double weekend planned! It will be my first time EVER to the east coast, crazy right?!?
Saturday- ING Hartford 1/2 marathon
3. I think I decided I'm going to get a running coach. I never have a plan for myself when I run, I just go. I don't do speed workouts, hill workouts, tempo runs, intervals etc. I know I should.... I REALLY know I should, but yet I can't motivate myself. It's frustrating to know that I could be a better and more efficient runner if I put forth some effort. I truly think what will work for me to start off with is if I have a specific plan to follow to cater to what I'm looking for (essentially break 1:50s) I've heard great things about running coaches, so looking for any input:
Saturday- ING Hartford 1/2 marathon
Highlights:
- the medal is a castle- YAY! this is last years and its similar this year
- Dave Mari will be there, so I will have a familiar place in a new land... and of course a half fanatic photo meet up
- will have time to kill after race to tour the city before picking up B & L from airport
Sunday- Amica Newport RI 1/2 marathon
Highlights:
- Rooming with Becka and L so I'm not by my lonesome
- We're all 3 planning to be 'matchy matchy'
- Dave Mari will be at this one too, so tons of photo ops and HF photo again.
- Flat course- my legs will be dead and need to work as little as possible.
2. Yesterday Lauren @ Duck on the Run had a post about random keywords people typed in to find her blog. After chuckling at her result of seeing 'torture myself' as one of the searches that someone typed in that led to her blog, I decided to do the same for me. Oh man! Not only did I have one search for this, but 2......
" I have explosive diarrhea" ------ WHAT?!?! How embarrassing. I thought it might be my St. Louis or Presque Isle race recap, both both of them just said the word 'digestive issues' - now its going to drive me crazy figuring out where in my blog i've talked about explosive diarrhea!!
I'd love to hear some of your funny keyword searches.
Go to dashboard, stats, traffic sources and scroll down. I had 160 keyword of "dorothy" for when I dressed up for the Oz 1/2- which is one of the photos in my header!

What are your thoughts (good or bad) on having a running coach??
