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

0.00

Played tennis for an hour with Scott. Sister took kids for 24 hours since I took her kids for a week in February when she was in Spain. Serioulsy enjoyed our first 24 hours non-kids that we have had in 18 months. We went a little crazy--3 movies, shopping in Park City, tennis, massages (hot stone, my favorite!), and eating out in between. Pretty sure I almost suffered death from movie-popcorn toxemia and gained 10 pounds in 24 hours if possible, but I am happy to report that today (Sunday) after that hour massage my leg is painless. Not sure if it is the almost week off from running or the massage, but am hopeful that it will only improve until Saturday. In the mean time, happy tapering week doing biking to me and heres to the worst marathon training of all time. Me and Luz will have a great time regardless and hopefully NOT set a new worst PR.

I love your attitude! I hope it does only continue to get better (until the beat down Saturday :)).

Oh, and your perfect 24 hrs sans kids sounds just like mine!
