Personal:

Married. 2 daughters. Have a love/hate relationship with running. Hate the first 3 miles of EVERY run without fail and grumble the whole time. Feel okay during 3-6. Love 6+ and LOVE how I feel when I am done (like I can take on the world and then some!).

Total Distance

5.00

Once again, physically a machine-like painless run. Mentally I whined for about 30 minutes in my head before getting on the dang treadmill. Had a phone interview for pretty much my dream part-time/teaching job at 12:00 and was stressed all morning about it every time I thought about it--like sick to my stomach stressed. Was SO grateful for the 45 minutes of running and not-thinking about it--just calm, relaxed doing my thing. So, to the running gods or whoever invented running or treadmills or to the divine heavens for the fact that I have legs that work and knees that haven't gone out on me yet--THANK YOU!!!

That job would be here, right? Good luck to you!! I hope you get it!! Nice job on the miles and I too love those 'zone out' runs that make everything better!

Shoot, does that mean when you get back you won't be able to tell me all the grisley stories about people's divorces and custody battles? Darn. I miss your private practice already. I might forget how bad it is to get divorced now. But hey, good job getting the law school teaching gig!! Congrats!

Thanks for all the support ladies--on Tuesday I ended up finding out that I got the job! I was and am super pscyhed. Don't worry Luz, still keeping up the legal practice (at least for now so we will see how it goes) so I should have some more good stories for you. On a random note, last night I had to take 2 BC pills because I missed the day before (oops!) and now I feel like I have morning sickness times 10. RAD--how you ever ran pregnant I will never know. All I want to do is crawl in my bed and lay there miserably. Yuck.

By the way, just for you Luz, I added RAD and Smooth to my favorite blogs :).
