Hey All! It’s the second day the week, so you know what that means… it’s Running Tuesday – hooray! I want to put it out there that it may seem like I’m a big copycat, seeing as that I talk about Running Tuesday weekly on NN on the Run, and it’s a Skinny Runner trademark, but that’s not entirely the case. It was never my plan to inherit Running Tuesday, but well… since I love running and I love Sarah, it just sort of happened. Speaking of Skinny Runner, I want to congratulate her on running an amazing 9th marathon in NYC!
Thinking about this week’s Running Tuesday and the recent NYC Marathon gave me the idea of the Superwoman Series. Basically, I’ll dedicate a post to an inspiring female athlete. First up: Skinny Runner.
A few of SR’s inspirational qualities:
1. She’s run 9 full marathons since her first in December 2009 and 19 half-marathons total.
2. She rocks the running skirts and compression socks like nobody’s business.
3. She takes photos while running like a cheetah – mad props.
4. She’s speedy, but humble.
5. Her blog is a total hoot! I love her sarcasm.
6. & she tells it how it is.
After yesterday’s rest day, I’m hoping to slip on my Asics today for a run – indoor, outdoor… something. If you don’t hear from me later, come back manana. It’s a VERY special day around here.
Now go get your run on!
Hillary

I love reading Sarah’s blog. She is hilarious, and 9 marathons since December – dang!
9 marathons!? Oof, that girl is on a roll. Love to hear about “new” humorous & inspiring blogs; this feature is a fun idea! :) Go get that run on!
awh geez, i’m blushing through all my maybelline. thank you seriously for the incredibly nice comments. run on!
Sarah,
I am sooo in love with your blog!
Don’t stop being so fab and celeb crazy.
I don’t know if I have ever read Sarah’s blog, but I am definitely going to start!
And I’ll be joining you for Running Tuesdays as a part of my training plan over the winter.
I’ve never read Sarah’s blog, but now I want to!
Thanks for the tip!
Sarah’s blog is hilarious! I love reading about her adventures, and yes, she always looks so stylish for her races too.
I love Sarah’s blog, and I am totally envious of her running ability. I believe she wrote that she barely trained for her first half-marathon and still did awesome. Wish I could do that!
I think Meghann from Meals and Miles is a total superstar. She balances blogging, running, and working a 40 hour a week job, and makes it look effortless!
I agree, Miss Meghann is a superstar!
I love SkinnyRunner! She is so hilarious, and her blog is great! One of the first blogs I read, and I’ve kept coming back for more!
I don’t run, but I’m a huge fan of SR. She is hilarious and inspirational!
