You're a great writer and do a wonderful job of conveying a very endearing personality through your blog-posts which makes your blog such a treat to read! I'd hate to see you go back and edit it all down!<br /><br />That's an awesome looking race schedule you've mapped out for yourself. I'm stupidly curious as to what you're even considering doing after that marathon. You've got A LOT of summer left after all.<br /><br />Good-luck with your training and take care of that foot!Sean in NYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13431152549351773692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18623487.post-88901177607763616382010-03-02T11:28:17.437-08:002010-03-02T11:28:17.437-08:00Gorgeous pictures, hurray for spring!

(my favorite season!)<br /><br />I'm so glad you rested your foot, always a good idea and look how great the rest of your workouts went!<br /><br />And hey, you didn't put your epic, SF 20-miler on your spring announcement! WTF! That's gonna be the best weekend ever! ♥Marathon Maritzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00617226310522206108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18623487.post-86750683176012466182010-03-01T11:53:32.489-08:002010-03-01T11:53:32.489-08:00Some how I missed this update to your blog.

Do you know of any 5/10ks maybe in July? Do you guys have a specific race website/calander you use up there? Thanks! And, sounds like you have a busy spring! Can't wait to hear about all the training!Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18017647714362441559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18623487.post-17718907818875575822010-02-28T08:31:11.866-08:002010-02-28T08:31:11.866-08:00I thought 30 was uneventful too.

Amy always makes fun of me at how bad I am.<br /><br />You have some awesome sounding races planned and it sounds like you are in such a good place mentally with your training. Sorry about your foot-I had a long bout with PF so if you ever have questions or need advice, feel free to email.<br /><br />I am so jealous that spring has sprung there.

Plenty of happy training days ahead. Not sure I need to know how painful marathon training can be, but nice to know it always gets better - I'll hold you to that ;)Ewenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01093209634556111656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18623487.post-40240603646334498042010-02-27T06:01:43.381-08:002010-02-27T06:01:43.381-08:00Great post, Jen...I always love your random though...Great post, Jen...I always love your random thoughts and beautiful photos. I miss Portland!<br /><br />By the way, if you're looking for a great Seattle-area marathon next year, Whidbey Island is one of the most scenic in the country (http://www.whidbeyislandmarathon.com/home.cfm). Probably not a BQ race, but a fun one. Or, you could always join us (http://www.teammichaelmoyles.com) at the Seattle Marathon...I'm there most years!

I wish I had another one soon I can do in case I bomb that one. The only other I know of is in November...<br /><br />Love the pretty cherry (or is it plum) blossoms!ShirleyPerlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09237828591170908960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18623487.post-55015315308793185882010-02-26T11:47:18.594-08:002010-02-26T11:47:18.594-08:00I love brickbreaker.
