I bet you didn't know that, but it is true. I once had a client return a memo that I had written claiming that she couldn't read it because the font was too mean and harsh. I now have to change the font anytime I send her things - so Jacey's disclaimer on font is legit.
Lilly here. I am also a slow runner but I have run a few more races than Jacey. I've done 14 half marathons, one full marathon and one relay race (200 miles split between 12 of us). I'm currently training for the Chicago full marathon and am aiming for a 50K race in September 2014 (assuming my body holds up!). I'm determined to get Jacey to the finish line at the Nike race without needing to amputate anything. If I fail, at least she gets a Tiffany's necklace as a consolation from losing a limb. I think we all know that is worth it.
Finally - I spend a lot of time stressing about my dog. I love him and he is my best friend but he is a complete asshole. At age 9 he picked up an awesome new habit of chewing walls and rugs and metal bars. Pretty much anything he can chew will go in his mouth. He also prefers toilet water to Brita water. He likes to run with me but sometimes he changes his mind after a mile or two and will just lay down. Like an asshole. An asshole that I love.

Disclaimer: I'd just like to throw it out there that the font options on blogspot are minimal and this was the least atrocious option-- forgive me for the fug, it's not my fault.
Hi there. I'm Jacey. If you're a slow runner and you haven't run many long distances, SOLIDARITY!!! I run a few times a week and I try to balance the running with Barre workouts and other miscellaneous Class Fitsugar Workouts (shoutout to fitsugar for keeping my butt looking good!!!). I've got runner's knee, so I'm all about the strength training. I've run two half marathons--one I trained for and one I decided to wing it. Let me take this moment to offer some sage wisdom: DO NOT WING IT on a half marathon. It's been a few years since my last half marathon and I've repeatedly told people "the only half marathon I'll run is the nike women's half," and so I enter the lottery when I remember. This year is the 10th anniversary. I've made it through the lottery, which is awesome, but also terrifying. Lilly has agreed to be my coach. I'm concerned that they'll probably cut my leg off at the finish line, Lilly assures me this won't happen.
Protip: save the tequila for AFTER your run.
