Hey it has been an UGLY week but I guess all is well that ends well (?)  I could list my excuses for missing 3 days but in the end ..... excuses don't excuse.  I did feel really rested up for my run this norning.  Unlike last Sunday I felt really good/decent my entire run.  Also, I found myself in a time crunch too.... I needed to be at my daughters school by 9:00 AM and found myself having to push the last three miles.  Although my time was slightly slower than last Sunday I can definitely say I finished a lot stronger.  My split times in the last three miles were some of my fastest for the entire run.   Last week I can clearly remember almost coming to a walk for the last mile and having to push to finish.    Ok my son is asking Dad for some quality time :-) 

Until next week!... wait a minute.. that's tomorrow!

P.S. For anyone following my blog I officially accepted my new Job offer and will start my new role on 2/15.  Hip Hip Hooooray.  Oh and by the way... my manager also announced that he had found another job too.  Shucks... if I had known that I may have stayed ;-)  Just joking... it was time for a change!
