About Me

reaganme
Oh, hi. I’m Marie.

Thanks for stopping by my depraved, little corner of the interwebz.

I currently type on keyboards in Indianapolis, where power brokers and corn farmers live together in harmony. I like it just fine, but I wasn’t born here and if you call me a Hoosier I will eat your face.

I like to drink beer all the time. I would drink more if I could but I have this pesky little job thing that calls for sobriety between the hours of eight and six.

I’m a runner, a writer, a connoisseur, an instigator and a pleasantly furious counterculturist on the dark side of my 20s in my 30s with just a few more things to say before my untimely collision with a Mack truck; so my horoscope tells me.

I talk a big game, but I have absolutely no certification, accreditation or qualification for anything I talk about in this blog. Just read it and don’t ask questions.

Sometimes I will post pictures of particularly disgusting or delightful foods I eat. But this is meant to be a humor blog and not one of those “healthy living” blogs, so I don’t feel obligated to justify any of my choices to you. If you have an eating disorder, I pose the following question: have you tried meth? Because it’s worked wonders for my figure.

I like to read a lot and do other things too (among them, getting blazed and watching Live at Pompeii on a big screen), but since I decided to make this a running and beer blog, you probably won’t hear too much about it.

One more thing: I only take horrible race photos. You won’t find any smiling, breezy, flawless, effortless, sweatless, jumping up and down arms raised in victory photos on this blog. I promise.

    I think I can get behind your blog based on the booze and pink floyd references alone. Mazel Tov!

    Running and beer, two of the best things in life! Love your blog. Well-written and witty!

    • http://cheaperthantherapy.wordpress.com/ Marie

      aw thanks.. I like yours too: “athletic mediocrity” — that’s a great line!

    I just moved to Indy from Chicago and love your blog! Drinking and fitness are my two faves too :) I love your tagline.

    • http://cheaperthantherapy.wordpress.com/ Marie

      thank you so much! We have family up there so we make the Indy-Chicago drive several times a year. I love Binny’s! :-) Looks like you have just joined the bloggy world – welcome!

    I can relate!! Just started blogging today to motivate myself to keep running! Does that make sense?

    • http://cheaperthantherapy.wordpress.com/ Marie

      Absolutely! It helps me hold myself accountable. I can’t tell you guys, “oh, I’m going to run 10 miles today,” and then not do it! hahaha. Love the name of your blog. I will definitely check it out!

    Bahaha. I started blogging (poorly) about a week ago, and just now found your blog. It’s hilarious. Straight to google reader with you.

    • http://cheaperthantherapy.wordpress.com/ Marie

      *curtsy* why, thank you! And don’t sell yourself short — I’ve been blogging for a couple of years and I’m pure gutter. ;-)

    Running and beer? Yup, you have a new fan.

    Love the beer/ running combination! Oh yes..and the food :) Great blog!

    • http://cheaperthantherapy.wordpress.com/ Marie

      Thanks for stoppin’ by! I guess I had my 15 minutes yesterday, eh?

    Geez holy, why aren’t you in my reader. Drinking and running. I can get behind that…probably far behind because I’m slow, I hate spilling my beer while running.

  • http://yearsoflife.wordpress.com Shannon @ Freshman Yr of Life

    Just found you’re blog and you’re friggen hilarious. Thanks for being so honest and excuse me while I click on over to my reader.

    Your first picture–funny as hell! Your second picture–hot as hell! And greetings to a fellow Floridian!

  • http://www.mythornshaveroses.com Stephanie @ Thorns Have Roses

    Eh. Drinking involves too many calories. I’ll partake in the Pompeiin festivities with you instead. Funniest blog I’ve come across yet.

    Your fame has travelled across borders – spotted this in a running store: http://www.shop.runningroom.com/product_info.php?cPath=81_83_24&language_id=1&products_id=5668

    • http://cheaperthantherapy.wordpress.com/ Marie

      I feel like I should get a royalty or something.

      • http://myrunningshorts.wordpress.com runshorts

        At least a free t-shirt. $34.99 value.

      • http://cheaperthantherapy.wordpress.com/ Marie

        That would be exactly $34.99 more than I’ve ever made from blogging!

    You’re a twat.

    Hi,

    I’m writing an article for Canadian Running magazine about runners and blogs and I’d like to ask you some questions about it. Can you please send me an email?

    Thanks.

  • Tara

    I also take horrific running photos. It always looks like my face is melting off or I’m in excruciating pain.

    Hi I’m new and love your blog so far. So many words taken right out of my mouth (errrrr, mind, because I’m too chicken to say/write them), like “walking doesn’t count” “RUNNING, not yoga, will make you a better runner.” <3 <3 <3

      Everyone needs a healthy outlet for their frustrations. And also a bosom for a pillow. Evidently. XO

    Hi there. Loving this blog. Thanks for making my newly found insomnia more bearable!

    • http://cheaperthantherapy.me Marie

      Hey, thanks! Sorry about the insomnia though. Hopefully there is a kind doctor with an itchy prescription writing hand in your near future.
