Dirty Shoes: New blog platform
http://brittanygoesrunning.blogspot.com/2013/04/new-blog-platform.html
Everything is more fun when you get dirty. Thursday, April 25, 2013. While I am still overcoming my IT Band issues, I still do a ton of hiking and so I've decided to change the focus of my blog to hike reviews. I also changed the platform to WordPress and you can access it at BeeZales.com. I've really missed blogging about my favorite hobby: Spending time on the trails. I hope that it can serve as a resource to fellow trail-runners and hikers! It's been real ya'll,. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Dirty Shoes: Uwharrie Mountain Run
http://brittanygoesrunning.blogspot.com/2011/02/uwharrie-mountain-run.html
Everything is more fun when you get dirty. Monday, February 7, 2011. At 6:55 am on Saturday morning, the 40-mile Uwharrie runners were still in the drop bag tent, despite the race starting in 5 minutes. Why? The cold temperatures, buckets of raining pouring down, and. well do I really need another reason? If I was planning on running this race, it would be one thing. I'd have adrenaline, the running would keep me warm, and racing in the rain makes sense. Hiking to a DNF does not! But, I was ok with this.

Dirty Shoes: MCM - Halloween edition
http://brittanygoesrunning.blogspot.com/2010/11/mcm-halloween-edition.html
Everything is more fun when you get dirty. Monday, November 1, 2010. MCM - Halloween edition. On Sunday, I ran the Marine Corps Marathon for the 3rd time. I wore my friend Ann. S bib, and removed the chip. Yes, this is generally frowned upon but it's not my fault marathons tend to have giant sticks up their ass and charge a ridiculous bib transfer fee. On Saturday night I was inspired to dress up like a zombie. This is why I wanted to do MCM to begin with! You can do it! Brian and I jumped into the start...

Dirty Shoes: Boston Marathon
http://brittanygoesrunning.blogspot.com/p/boston-marathon.html
Everything is more fun when you get dirty. The whole point of this blog was to motivate me to qualify for Boston, so I thought I would highlight those posts. I really started talking about Boston when I knew I could qualify for it. In September 2008, I wrote a post that I simply titled I GOT THIS. Then I hurt myself. I qualified at the Marine Corps Marathon. I made a bunch of big plans. And then broke my toe. Boston Marathon entry confirmation. I started training again. And then hurt my IT band. My food ...

Everything is more fun when you get dirty. Here is a list of things I use and love. I don't get any money for recommending these because I'm sort of a nobody :).

Camelbak Quick-Grip water bottle. I love this water bottle so much, that I have two. It keeps water cold (and beer! And strawberry frozen margaritas! I recommend getting ...

Dirty Shoes: Inaugural WUS Doughnut Run
http://brittanygoesrunning.blogspot.com/2011/04/inaugural-wus-doughnut-run.html
Everything is more fun when you get dirty. Friday, April 22, 2011. Inaugural WUS Doughnut Run. We started off at WUS headquarters. 15 minutes late and wearing our new WUS shirts! The 10k/6 doughnut option runners are off! The lonely 5k/12 doughnut runners. We're so legit that we had on-trail photographers! So many more to go. Anna and I were the first ones there, not because we were fast but because we ran 1/2 the distance. Sean couldn't run because he recently shattered his thumb during a tough 50 miler.

Dirty Shoes: Brittany's Fat Ass
http://brittanygoesrunning.blogspot.com/2010/07/brittanys-fat-ass.html
Everything is more fun when you get dirty. Tuesday, July 27, 2010. 31 miles in 100 degree heat? I knew I could use this one as a "stop-whining-look-what-I-did" for at least a few years. Drinking out of a spring instead of a cooler? Post run grill, beer, and body shots? Oh, VHTRC, where have you been all my life? Hanging out with Mark at the race start. Picture courtesy of Bobby Gill. Picture courtesy of Bobby Gill. Best post-race party ever (with ultrarunnergirl. Picture courtesy of Bobby Gill. Nice run ...

Dirty Shoes: Happy birthday, IT-band injury!

Everything is more fun when you get dirty. Thursday, October 27, 2011. Happy birthday, IT-band injury! I am approaching my year anniversary of being injured. Last weekend I went to a wedding with many college friends I haven't seen in over two years. This happened about 7 times: "Not that I stalk you on facebook, but you're like. a crazy runner right? So, twitter and facebook friends, I'm still out, yes, but I'm ok. Really. Promise. Don't go running with people or a group when you're recovering. I was do...
