It's a Wonderful Life

Wonderful runs - I may have already said, but Wed I ran 4 miles in 48 mins. Very good for me. Then Sat, I ran 6 miles in about 1 hr 10 min. Also very good for me! I was pushing hard Sat. I wanted to be home by 8:30 and it was about 8:40 when I got finished. I was starting to feel exhausted around 4.5, but I kept pushing just so I could finish.

I had a great day Friday with B at the park. We always have a good time there and the weather was so nice. I actually got cold in the shade while he and Jeremy were tossing the football. Friday night we had a little shin dig with Don Juan's, cake, and ice cream. I got a belt for when I run to hold water and something small (I'm thinking gels or beans) in the zipper. I also got Beatles Rock Band (WOO HOO!), a yummy smelling candle, and money for new running shoes - or maybe pants - or maybe both, if I can find a good deal!

Sat I also decorated outside for Halloween/fall. Mom and I made a quick trip to many, many stores Sat before they left and we got some goodies for decorating. I'm pleased with the look. I just need to work on the yard/plants a little bit. I'm contemplating digging up my plants, then replanting them next spring - not because they won't last the winter, but because I think if I babied them and laid some good weed stopper, they might do better next year.

Last night I watched Three Rivers. Not ER, but might be my next TV indulgence. It was good, but being the first show a lot of it was getting you introduced to the characters and what not. Still good though. It did make me miss ER. I told Jeremy it's just sad - after 14 years, I just don't know what to do! So, this morning while running on the treadmill, I watched an episode from last season, and it was just as good as it was the first time. Hmmm... dear sweet, ER.

Today should continue to be a good day! Short run tomorrow, 4 miles on Wed, then a 3.2 miler on Friday. It should actually be a fairly easy week, which is good because next week will be very odd so I've got to get my training adjusted to fit. I've done that, which is why I'll be running Friday instead of Saturday. Either way, I've worked it out and I'm ready!

Hard to believe I'm almost half way there...
