Day #40!  Shall I go for 50?

5 lovely miles with Lisa at BPA (on the way, on the way back went streets because of the dark creepiness).  I pushed the wonderfully sweet Denali in the BOB the whole time, LOVE IT!  NO walk breaks (although I was slow), this run made me feel so good and optimistic!

You have an awesome streak, you've got to keep it going! It looks like you are over your injury? Where are you going to school?

I'm doing better on the injury, thanks Kelsey. I'm working on my PhD in Education at the University of Washington. How's life as faculty? Is it crazy pressure?
