An easy 4 on the treadmill.  I wanted to run outside, but I spent all day reading what is now my favorite book of all time.  I tore myself away with about 50 pages to go so I could get these miles in, then resumed reading.  It was the last book in The Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan.  I highly recommend the series, but this is not for the feint of heart.  There are 14 books at just under 1000 pages each.  But a GREAT series of books.

PM miles on the treadmill after a long work day.  I told myself I had to do 2 just to be able to put something on the calendar and then wanted to add one more.

Blogging during the week is sometimes hard, but I know I have to do it, otherwise I will start skipping running days.

An easy 3 after another long day.  We presented the future of our school to our board, which included some controversy.  We've been nervous about it for months, but it went great.  I'm pleased.  Now we just need to present it to teachers and families.  I'm still nervous about that.

Last night I was persuaded to join some of the teachers for a drink or two after the boys' game.  I was glad that I did--I haven't been out in ages--but it meant no run yesterday.  I either have to adjust so that Friday is my day off running or just be happy if I can run at least 5 days a week.

This was a great run despite the little sleep I got.  I was tempted to add on 1/2 mile so I could be awesomer than Burt, but decided that I would let him be awesomer than me this week.
