remiss (for posting), but running!

even with my trip across the country, i managed to stay more or less on-schedule with the running (yay me!). extra special thanks to my own personal Iron (Wo)Man, Amanda, for running 7 mi with me in Baltimore. definitely made me appreciate running in san diego where you typically do not need ear warmers and gloves! : ) i did a few hotel treadmill runs...boring, but easier on my knees, and then after flying back from chicago, joined up with my Team in Training friends and completed 8 miles. i actually felt good after! (though i felt even better after i treated myself with 15 min of massage from our onsite therapist, thank you david rice, you are awesome!)

this week is "back down" so i'm going to do the 4 mi in Portland, OR with the friends i'm visiting this weekend, should be fun. then we go up to 9 mi...so crazy! never imagined i could do this, but with the support of TNT, my running buddy Sam, and the amazing support of all of you (i'm up to 85% of my fundraising goal!), it's all happening. very exciting. about 6 weeks to race day!! ~ j
