Running is a Mental Sport. And we are all insane.

Dooce.com's author Heather Armstrong is quickly discovering this.

After crafty Sarah (seriously, check out her Etsy page!) turned me onto Heather's blog last year, I have been a daily reader. You can imagine my excitement upon reading that she was running her first marathon as to raise awareness for Every Mother Counts. I'm always curious to hear about another newbie runner's experiences, but to hear it from the witty mouth of Heather promised to be an awesome ride.

From her first published experience of the runner's high to her more recent half-marathon training run detailing - among other things - the normal initial aversion to energy gels, her blog's chronicles put my paltry storytelling to shame.

But, folks, I'm not surprised - that's why she makes money doing it.

It would follow, then, too that her readers often make extremely hilarious and/or insightful comments. I particularly enjoyed this tidbit, about the fickle nature of the run:


Good luck, Heather!
