I’ve enjoyed Not Martha’s up to category, and I’m going to borrow it today.
wanting: be a better runner. Shaun got me the Runner’s World Complete Book of Running (how can you argue with that title?) for my birthday; I’ve been wanting a running book. I’d like to run a little bit faster, a little bit longer, but most importantly, all while enjoying running, so no killing myself over it, either.
reading: See Rich Run. I like all the metadata from his runs and the playlists. Maybe someday I’ll get the marathon bug. Not yet.
needing: new shoes. I’ve had my running shoes for over a year, and they still have good arch support but the padding has worn down. And as the running book basically says, if it’s not broke, don’t fix it, so I’ve been looking for my model or the next newer one online. I have the Asics GT-2110, and while they’re well-reviewed, I’m not finding them for much cheaper than I paid originally.

I liked the “up to” catch-all category idea as well, and stol^H^H^H^Hborrowed it from you. Thanks!

Sorry to say, but I don’t know when the next entry is going up. I (obviously) got injured on the last run, and although it’s been a week, I’m still limping. I’m considering seeing a doctor, but it’s only because I ran on grass and not because the schedule was too rigorous.

Maybe it’s because I’m fat - but running never seemed like real fun to me. It just looks so jarring and yet I’m in awe of people who are dedicated to it. You should start a Run Maura Run campaign and see if the internet will help you raise like 1k to run a 10k. Or not ;)
