Ran the cemetary loop and the trails beyond this morning.  It was lovely.  Cath sent me our training schedule, the 18 week series  begins next week!  What?  Ok, I think I'm rested enough. I just still haven't found a good running friend this side of town. I met a girl down the street, much younge than me who has run 2 half marathons--so even if we are not mileage compatible, we may be weekday 5:45 a.m. compatible.  We'll see.  I'm still waiting form my blood panel results, and to see if I'll need an X-ray or if my hernia needs repair.  Then if all is clean, I'm all set.  Not super excitited to do a regular a.m. thing again.  I've been really enjoying getting a lot of sleep, and using the better part of my energy to clean, play, cook, walk, visit, read, and sleep some more.

Is it really only 18 weeks before your National Marathon?

I keep checking the website and so tempted to sign up. Wish I had money to burn.

Glad you found a new girl to run with! 5:45 is insanely early, especially in the cold dark winter months! You are so dedicated. Hope you have good report on the blood work and that you won't need hernia repair. But if you do, I am sure you are fit for quick surgery and recovery! GOOD LUCK!

Smooth, I wish you could come. DC is such a great place to run. I don't know about the 'new' girl yet. Not sure she can hack the winter pre 6 a.m. running yet. I only had one other partner who could hack that and she moved to DC about 4 years ago. I got called this morning to go back for additional tests. I'll be glad when it's all over. I always save the first of December for all my medical issues. I'm just not looking forward to all that has to be done. I hate getting old--how do you make it look so graceful and easy? You're a miracle woman.
