I've been feeling a little under the weather since the weekend--I'm sure having a sick husband and freezing my buns off at Sunday's half marathon didn't help my situation any--so it's been tough to do much aside from catch up on my reading. So here's some of the news--and sites--that kept my eyes busy today:
- It doesn't take much to motivate me for Ironman. But this story about the 2009 World Championship's youngest finisher really geared me up for my race later this year. And reminded me to wear sunscreen on the bike and pray for no knee issues.
- One of my favorite old-time sites MarathonGuide.com turns 10 this week. Happy Birthday to a great race resource!
- I knew Shia LaBeouf ran Sunday's L.A. Marathon--thanks, People, for the StarTracker photo--but I didn't know the race had some other interesting moments until FitSugar's post-race recap.
- If you've wondered why Liz has been absent from Fit-Ink, she's busy writing The Rundown for her day job at Time Out Chicago. Check it out, not only for my half marathon race report or her interview with Deena Kastor, but for all the running-related reads.
- I made the mistake of reading too many skiing-related Twitter feeds only to learn that @VailResortsNEWS reported new snow at Beaver Creek, Breckenridge, Keystone and Vail. I could use me a powder dump to freshen my mood and know that Colorado air will clear up my sinuses (even if it doesn't, I'd still take Colorado over Chicago).
