And we're back!

Greetings to my many (read: 3-4) blog readers!

I know what you're thinking. "Silly Julia, thinking she could keep up with this blog thing".

I admit, I did fall off the horse a little bit. But, I'm back! Hooray!

Some of my loyal followers (read: 3-4) may remember that the Jaimester (read: Jaime from the beach) and I are going on a short (read: 13.1 miles) jaunt this weekend through Virginia Beach. Yes, it's true, the day of the Virginia Beach Shamrock and Roll Yuengling Free Beer Run not Walk Half Marathon is finally upon us. And I'm excited!

Some of you may have noticed that Baltimurder received a slight snow shower in February, and, I'll admit, it took a toll on my running. Not a lover of the treadmill (dangerous and tricky when an iPod is involved), I chose the sit-on-the-couch-and-watch-office-reruns-and-drink-wine option instead. Please note I chose wine instead of beer. Health benefits. Almost as many health benefits as Hobbs and her pita chips.

Jaime and I ran a 14k race in Virginia beach over Valentine's day weekend, which was splendid and served two purposes:

1. Free beer.

2. To remind us that, yes, we were physically capable of running 14 kilometers (~9 miles).

This is Schooner, Scotty's race-watching buddy. He doesn't love sharing his car space with balloons though. (Free heart-shaped balloons that we got from the race because we are so awesome)

So while I'm still a little disappointed that Hobs won't be running with us this weekend, I'm still pretty excited.

Also, a shout out to my friend P. Riley, who ran a 2:31:28 marathon this weekend! Way to PR, PR!

Since I've done my running for the day, it seems that green-beer thirty is finally upon us.

Wish us luck this weekend!

Cheers!
