2 miles with Bethany on the Planet Run (not sure what I'm going to do tomorrow when I need 2.5, since I'm not all that creative). An awesome run and I owe it all to her! We ran > 1.5 miles without walking, then only took one walk break and finished it off. I felt pretty good and probably only stopped to walk because I felt like I should have to stop. I'm not going to say for sure that I could have gone the full two miles without walking, but I might have gone a little further if I wasn't second-guessing myself.

Confession: I use humor to protect myself from getting hurt. I know, for anybody who has ever talked to me it's a real news-flash, but sometimes you have to say things even if everybody else already knows them. Anyway, it was good today for me to get real with Bethany and tell her about some of the junk in my past. That junk, while not pretty, helped to make me who I am today. It's just as much a part of me as any of the good stuff. So, thanks, Bethany, for listening. If you ever want to tell me about your junk, I'm all ears.

I got new glasses today, so I was slightly disoriented. I wasn't tripping over stuff or anything, but I am able to see things that I couldn't earlier today, so that's always a little weird. I suppose I'll have to get a picture up on my blog at some point so that people can see the new me.

I was feeling pretty good after blogging, so I ran the dog .5 instead of walking him. A little knee pain, but half a mile is pretty easy now.  Does that count as a 2-a-day?  There was only about an hour between my runs.  Yep, I'm hardcore.

I did notice your new glasses! Red right? Sassy. Thanks for the great run. As for the "junk," its a pleasure to get to know you better. As for my "junk" hmmm, you may regret that...:) I already give you an earful of random nonsense!
