I am proud of this race because, while I am not the fastest I have ever been, I am trying very hard to train during my first (insane) semester of teaching. Sub 7s... I'll take it! I hope that I can continue to train until I am back up to my potential.

I was supposed to turn this race into a long run, but I was too tired and cold once I stopped to get started back up again. I should have time this week to get one in though.

Time to make some finals!

solid run; i feel your pain in trying to get into a decent running routine whilst getting into the swing of things at a new job. but we press on...

(and take it to 'em with the finals!)

If you were too tired to turn it into a long run, that is a good sign!

Fill me in on the new job....I am behind on every9one and everything due to my own new little job!
