I ran 19.38 miles today! Holy Crap!

Ridiculous.

I actually set out to run about 9 or 10 miles, but then I kept making small deals with myself (e.g., just get to next that stoplight and then you can walk for a minute), and I came through on every single promise. I then agreed to let myself walk the last 4-5 blocks, therein completing the 19.38-mile journey from my apartment in Lincoln Park to my parents' house in Northbrook. Whoa.

Rough for the body; fantastic for the mind.

UPDATE: I later deemed this a failure of sorts, as I was getting ahead of myself. It, arguably, cost me the marathon, as I could never quite get back on track with the training after recovering from the shin splints and stress fractures in my feet. haha. However, I learned the lesson from it, so there are no regrets, baby. :)

First Laughter Yoga Session

I led my first laughter yoga session last week! 

There were three people, including myself.  It was cold, grey and pouring rain, but we still went out to the Laughter Gazebo and had ourselves a great time.  I owe big thanks to Mikey and B.J. for not going home when they saw the weather and turnout. 
You cats is awesome.
