10 miler # 2

I haven't updated in awhile...I guess that's what happens with Christmas and having a foreign exchange student living in your home.

I have been learning some valuable lessons about children, some little wonders to lock away for the day when I have one or two or three of my own...(or four? let's not get carried away). It's interesting dealing with a child anyway, but one where there is a language barrier and some spoiled issues?? Makes it difficult and throws in some extra challenges. But I found out that she was having her, what I like to call, "Chocolate Week," so that explains a lot of the moodiness. Not to mention that she's 12 and thousands of miles away from home. Sigh. Lots going on there.

ANYWHO on to the running portion. Last week I ran ten miles. Yes, you read that correctly. I RAN TEN MILES LAST WEEK ON WEDNESDAY. Yes. Victorious. I am so ready for this race on Super Bowl Sunday, I can't even tell you. What will make me feel more ready? Running my last ten miles tomorrow. That will really be my peak. After that, I get to pull back on the mileage for the next 2 weeks before race day.

I am almost there! I have almost reached my goal. It feels good.

I am annoyed though that I had to buy wide leg dress pants bc my old ones don't fit. Too much muscle.
