it's been a while since the last post, but not since the last run. indeed, i'm more or less on track. i solicited my good friend JH to run the marathon with me, and the partner aspect is definitely helping my motivation. Last sunday we did 7.2 miles all up and down the snowy streets of burlington, at tiumes literally risking life and limb. but it was worth it. i was away this weekend but managed to eek out 5 miles at my mother-in-law's. in between the 'long runs' (fear not, they get longer) we've been doing 3-4mi at least twice a week. got 3.5 in this afternoon before work, and we're headed for a big 9 miler this weekend.
this is also working out in large part because of my new work schedule/child care routine. so i'm working every monday/wednesday evening (3-1130), but my awesome babysitter has agreed to come at 1pm, affording me some consistent running time. and J is happy to oblige my constrained schedule, especially since i'll drive to her. i have to deal with getting to work all sweaty, and my co-workers must forgive me that. but so far it hasn't been an issue. foul smells are not out of the ordinary for nurses:)
ok i'll check in this weekend once we pass that 9mile mark. wish me luck!
