Thinking Out Loud

Today I'm linking up with Amanda @ Running With Spoons for Thinking Out Loud.

Please take time to visit Amanda and the other bloggers linked up on her site.

Well, let's see.  What is rattling around in my brain today?


Saturday is my 4th and final half marathon in my self imposed series of 4 within 21 days.  I'm already worried about my post-race gloominess.  I love to race and I'm going to have withdrawals!   There is not even a local 5k on the horizon.  Now, what am I supposed to do with myself?

I organized this streak just to move up a moon level in Half Fanatics.  Guess what? Nobody cares about my moon level!  This is simply to satisfy my "slightly obsessive", goal-oriented self.

Jupiter, here I come!

Speaking of Half Fanatics, I'm confused.  They call it moon levels, but the levels are names of planets.  For example, I'm currently a Saturn and will move to Jupiter after Saturday.  After that, the next level is Mars.  Those are names of planets!  Why are they making this so confusing?



Well, I did it.  I threw my name in the lottery for the 
Chicago Marathon.  I'm leaving this one to fate.  If I don't get in, I'll choose another race for my first marathon.  GO BIG or GO HOME, as they say.   The only thing going for me is this would be a big inconvenience as far as timing and travel goes.  So, for this reason alone...I may just get in!




I wish there was no Spring Forward.  I do not like running in complete darkness in the mornings. 




 Did anyone catch the premiere of the new A&E series The Returned?  Eerie.  I can't wait to see the next episode! It is airing on Mondays after Bates Motel, another favorite!

Well, that's what I've been thinking.  What about you?
