What? "9 miles wasn't enough" To hear that thought in my head feels like someone else saying it. It was true this morning though. This week is a recovery week for my marathon training. 'Only' nine miles for my long run instead of double digits.
Yesterday, the children had a difficult time listening and obeying. Dear husband has been working so much the past few months that I feel like a single mom. He's been working on three R&D projects ... not one, but three all due in a short amount of time.
I'm so thankful that I started running over a year ago. Running has helped me physically, emotionally, and spiritually. I can spend miles talking over with God what is going on in my life. This morning, I could have used a few more miles. Looking forward to Monday's run, Wednesday's tempo run, Thursday run, and Saturday's long run.

Winter Carnival 2011
"Thousands of Pages Unfold in the Bitter Cold" was the theme for this year's Winter Carnival at the university that my husband and I met. Each year, the students build snow and ice sculptures ... what else is one to do with all the snow?
The temperature was a warm 38 degrees.

My name on the back and on the sleeve ... for strangers to cheer for me
The number 11 on the back for the year 2011
