Hey girl, where are you? How are your plans looking for Portland? I hope you are still going to go! I sure do miss your fun entries!! Now that you are into your routine of school more I hope you can squeeze in your blogging, we all miss you!!!
Yes still going to portland, won't make my goal but I still might be able to pull out a pr. School is getting better but last week was awful. 7a-6p mon, 7-7 on tuesday due to bodyworlds (I needed to go to make a worksheet for my students when they go on the fieldtrip) and 7-8:30 wed/thur due to parent teacher conference. I have decided I am going to quit marathoning for now and work on 5k's and a pr there. I can train and meet my goal with a couple miles a day, where I need a lot more time for marathons. I am an all or nothing type person, if I am not going to meet my goals I quit, I don't do it part way (as for my training) so I am setting smaller goals I can work on......so watch for me in the next week after portland.
Laurie, we are all anxious to hear if you did Portland and how it went for you. I ended up dropping out of St. George at mile 13, you will have to check out my blog. Please let us know how you are!!!
