St. Louis Marathon: 10 Weeks Ahead
Plan: 20 miles; Actual: 20.5 miles
Yes, I met my goal for the week, but I wasn't as easy as it seemed. I fought a constant battle in my head to stay focus.
Monday: 3.1 mile run on treadmill. Too fast. Too soon.
Tuesday: shoulders; abs
Wednesday (evening): 4-mile run on treadmill. Steady but restless.
Thurssday: Off
Friday: 5-mile run on treadmill. Good steady pace. 42:30 minutes.
Saturday (evening): workout with Dr. K (chests / triceps / abs)
Sunday: 8.4-mile run to Kelly Drive, Strawberry Mansion. Negative splits (a feast I often talked about but rarely achieved).

Indian Summer
We're in the middle January in Pennsylvania, and it's t-shirt and shorts weather. I come out of my winter hiatus for a run on Kelly Drive this afternoon. It is a sweet way to kick off my next marathon training program.

It's not rice but it's OK
Boyfriends come and go, and good friends help you pick up the pieces and and get on with your life. Chris (pictured left) has quickly become a good friend of mine the past six months, after we became Center City neighbors. He entertains me, includes me in his vast social activities, and introduces me to new people.
Here's to you, Mr. Chris. I know you read my blog. Thanks for everything you've done for me!
