Today was a difficult day. Two of my former first graders were involved in a crime. They are/were both 19. One boy killed the the other. Currently, these are the only facts that I have obtained other than that the murder weapon was a chef knife. My son works in the emergency room of our hospital. The victim's injuries were just too severe.
I teach in a very rough neighborhood. The odds are often stacked against my young learners, but these two boys were genuinely kind hearted and good natured. I always hope that as a teacher and as a school we are equipping our learners with the tools that they need for the world around them. It's difficult to predict what will stick and stay with each individual.
On a lighter note, I signed up for the virtual Boston Marathon. I've qualified twice, but my times have never placed me phyisically at the start line. I figure this is as close as I'll ever get to that coveted race and medal!

- Global Running Day Virtual 5K
- My son and I signed up for the runDisney Summer Virtual Series. We have three 5K's that we'll need to complete over the summer months. This first 5K was incredibly difficult. I'm not fond of the distance nor have I run a race since March 2020. Although this was only virtual, we treated it as a race. I ran the 3 miles at paces of 9:07 / 8:28 / 7:46.

- Today marks exactly 18 weeks until the Chicago Marathon. My training needs to become focused now in preparation for this event. I honestly just want to enjoy the experience and finish with a respectable time. A respectable time is the rub because what my mind desires may not be what my body is capable of producing.

- I completed my miles at the suggested pace. It was hot and I should have brought more fluids, but I am satisfied with my efforts. It feels good to get my long run out of the way for the week.

- My easy pace is supposed to be 10:52. What I ran this morning felt easy and breezy! Even though I know that I am running significantly slower than two years ago, i am encouraged with my progress. It's slow, but steady.

- I was supposed to run 10 miles. I got a late start to my run. It was already 80 degrees by the time I left the house. It was just too hot to finish all of my mileage. I was really languishing toward the end.
