Finally!

I know, I know - it has been a LONG time since I posted. June 10th to be exact. Time flies! I guess it just took me longer than normal to recover from Butterfest! I realize now that the goal of keep up with the Flock girls is similar to the goal of qualifying for Boston - Impossible!

Life has just been busy and I am not in training for anything, so life seems pretty ho hum. If you consider taking care of this guy ho-hum:
It is amazing how much he has grown in one week! The bad news is that he has been at the Vet's the last two nights with a viral infection. Hopefully he will come home today.

Anyway - back to running. Today was a bit nerve wracking. I was the only one signed up with the speed demons Jenny and Wendy. A frightful experience (due to speed, not company) no matter what, but the last couple of runs I have really struggled. Not entirely sure why, but needless to say the Wisconsin heat and humidity did not help. Thankfully, I felt really good today. We had a fast pace - for me - they were nice enough to slow down a little bit. And I even did another mile loop afterwards. Of course they did a 2 mile loop in almost the same time I did a mile loop..... It was a beautiful morning to run and it had been a while since I talked with Jenny and Wendy (since usually they are 5 blocks ahead of me) so the run went well.

It was one of those mornings that I just loved running - well, almost.
