I actually had uninterrupted sleep last night!!! Audrey slept through the night. Although since I'm still nursing, it wasn't as peaceful as it could have been. But hey, I'll take it!

My run was the same loop as yesterday, but mile 2 was really hard. My legs were aching so bad that I almost turned around or starting walking. But habit is starting to win out over my wimpiness and I just kept going -- the pain and tightness finally eased up toward the end. Even my hill at the end wasn't as bad as mile 2 today - and mile 2 is FLAT!

Has anyone seen the movie Bleak House? It's based on a novel by Charles Dickens. It's very interesting, but it's LONG!!! It's 8 hours long, so we keep having to watch it a few hours at a time. We've still only watched a little over 4 hours. I can't believe we're only half way. Anyway, if you have absolutely nothing to do one day, it's pretty good!

Ahhh... Now that's nice. A full night's sleep! May it be the first of many.

Hey, it was great talking to you today. Did Mike tell you I called later, all hysterical about the dog situation? I was going to ask your opinion, but I'm pretty sure I can accurately predict what you'll say. :)
