They say that North Dakota has the cleanest air. Not today. The farmers have been burning for a week. They are burning all the flood debris off their fields so we have a constant haze. All the haze makes for a pretty sunset. 

 After reevaluating our training and our schedule we have decided to run the 1/2 for Fargo. We registered for the Twin Cities Marathon on Oct. 3. I've heard the course is beautiful and we have never run it before. I am going to try to qualify there. Summer training is so much easier. The Twin Cities is run on Sunday, so it won't interfere with cross country.

Sounds like a good plan. I also find that training in the summer is a little easier, just because I have lots more time (I'm a teacher).

Good luck with the training for both the 1/2 and the full!

What do you teach? Our oldest daughter is finishing up her student teaching and just signed her first contract. She will be teaching english to 7,8 and 12 graders. She is pretty excited and can't wait to get her room decorated.

I really agonized over dropping to the 1/2 but we are so behind on our training. My head and heart are just not in it right now.

I teach high school English. Right now I only teach seniors. I love it. If your daughter ever wants to exchange ideas, I'd be happy to talk to her--I love getting new ideas for what to do with my classes.

Her first job sounds like she will get a broad experience. Junior high AND high school English! So very different, but could be really fun!

I know what you mean about not having your head and heart in the training. I feel that way periodically. I am feeling that way now, but my 1/2 is in a little over a week, so I know I can just keep plugging away!
