Ran my loop +1.  I've been getting like 9 hours of sleep and it's barely helping.  It was hot by the time I got out to run at 9:30.  Really hot, like back east humid and still.

Ran 4.3 in the morning and 3.2 in the evening. 300 sit ups, 60 push ups and  planks. I love doing two separate shorter runs. I feel so good afterwards.  Nothing hurts.  It's just long enough to get up a good sweat, and short enough to keep my energy.  Had lunch today with the girls (Mac, Kelli, Josse, Marion, Melody and Michelle) in honor of Michelle's visit from Hong Kong. I've missed her whole visit, but was luckier than the rest, I got an extra hour sitting at the restaurant before lunch.  I've missed Michelle.  It was so good to see Marion, Josse and the rest.  Without running races, I juts don't see anyone anymore. I miss it.  But I am grateful for what I can still do. Also, my arms look and feel pretty good from all the yoga. I'll be able to lotus again so help me.

I love that I have friends, whom I have not seen for over a year, who confidently knock on my door first thing in the morning dressed in their running clothes (without an invitation).  My friends Nancy and Jim (friends from college who married each other) are here from Denver for the week and they came by this morning to run.  I paced Jim the last 10 miles to the finish of the Squaw Peak 50 miler two summers ago (it was the hardest thing I have ever done for love or money).  It was so nice to see them.  Nancy is a children's book illustrator and he is an English Ph.d. who's tenured at the U of Colorado. We took it slow and chatted up all our recent diet ideas (paleo v. macrobiotics), health and injury issues, children's progress, and all the friendly gossip over the last year.  I have been blessed throughout my life to be surrounded and loved by truly amazing friends.

My last few days wogging w/ Victoria.  She's going to DC and then on to Bejing.  Yet another of my long string of jogging partners bites the dust.  They all love me and leave on their way out of town.

My sister left today, and Victoria leaves tomorrow.  I'll be all alone again.

Haven't run on the ground in a while.  We'll see how it goes.  I tried to do Yoga right after this run, and was so off balance and stiff I couldn't finish my practice today.

Found a new show: Breaking Bad.  It will get me through a few treadmill miles.

I was doubtful about Paul Ryan. Now I know I don't like him. Who runs a sub 3:00 marathon without knowing the exact time, or mentions which marathon.  That my friends, is a man prone to self-agrandizement and lies.
