I've been having some issues with my computer and gmail lately (blogspot is linked to google), so I've had some of my posts interrupted.
Hopefully, I'll be able to successfully post tonight.
Trust me, I'm still here!

Holly Potter and the Week of Off-Trackness
My goodness, I have been a bad dobby with my posts lately!
After receiving an email from my sister today ("New post! New post! New post!"), I had the feeling that I should probably update this blog. After all, I did promise an entry about snobby runners.
Sadly, though, you won't get to see that entry until tomorrow, after my run.
I know, I know: you were all waiting with great anticipation for it, but you'll have to wait a few hours more!
Tonight's brief entry is just that: brief.
It's been a pretty tough week for me, so I made an executive decision and skipped two days of running. The result? My hip feels worlds better and I have a renewed sense of determination (since now, I really have to step things up).
The joint is still a bit achy and one of my eye's has been freaking out (unrelated to training) and I have never been more tired, but it's all good my friends, because I am getting this runaway train back on the tracks tomorrow!
So, choo choo, gentle readers. Choo choo, and good night--I'll see you bright and shiny tomorrow morning!
Bring it on.

New Job Fun
So, as mentioned in yesterday's post, soon my crazy schedule will be less crazy--hooray!
Starting in late November, I begin working at Macy's Santaland, as in the miracle on 34th.
I worked there last holiday season and had an absolute blast, so I will be taking a brief hiatus from my current job to style Santa. And get awesome discounts.
The wonderful thing about Santaland is that my schedule will be much easier when it comes to balancing training and work. I'll work 5 hours a day, evening shift; this means I'll be able to get sleep, go running, and still have time for real life, all before I head to the North Pole.
Ah, freedom!
Not to mention, I won't be on my feet much (unlike with my current job), so it'll give my legs the rest they need after running.
Huzzah, my friends, huzzah! So, come and visit me in December and get your picture taken with Santa :) I promise, it's totally awesome.
Stayed tuned for an entry later this evening regarding an interesting topic: snobby runners!

It's Official
My sister and I are now paid and registered marathoners--no turning back now!
I must come to accept the fact that this is the real deal. We are registered to run 26.2 miles and become Mickey Mouse-approved athletes. I even purchased the commemorative pin--I want as much proof as possible that I actually did this crazy, crazy thing.
"How crazy?" you ask. Well, gentle readers--all three of you--let me enlighten you on the history of the marathon.
Back in the day, there was a Grecian man named Pheidippides. Dippi was a messenger who was sent from the town of Marathon to the city of Athens to report that the Greeks had defeated the Persians. He ran all the way to the assembly (quite a distance--perhaps 26.2 miles?) and declared, "We have won!"
Pheidippides then promptly keeled over and died.
...And I am voluntarily choosing to do this it-actually-killed-the-Greek-messenger-thing.
Isn't history fun?

A Disclaimer or Two
So, I realized that--with the creation of this blog--certain disclaimers should be stated.
Not that this blog may ever be read by anyone more than my immediate family, but I figure that I should clarify a few things. No one likes being sued.
I am in no way sponsored/connected/related to The Walt Disney Company. Yes, I have auditioned for them. No, I have never worked for them. This is an entirely unofficial and solely personal blog; an outlet for my creative self and a means of keeping track of my training progress.
Any stores, websites, or persons mentioned in this blog are mentioned merely because I like being specific, and not because I have been paid or am paying to do so.
Perhaps this entire post is unnecessary, but better safe than sorry, right?
Running shoes cost enough as it is, without worrying about lawyers' fees.
