It's been a while since the world fell in love

I dont know what that title refers to...

Oh maybe because it's Valentines Week. (Yeah what's the deal with Valentines Day, getting a week?)

So I'm in like week 8 of my training. Near that? Week 6ish? I'm unsure. But at this point, I'm up to running in the teens of miles. I run 13 miles this weekend and am...thrilled about it. In that way that people get thrilled to wear a velcro suit and get heaved about 20 feet to a wall of velcro. Well, some people really like that. I'd kind of poo my pants I think.

Okay, off track. So my training was derailed for a week when I was sick and now it's possible I have a cold thats going around. Awesome. Training for marathons in the Northeast in the winter is tough. It's tough in general... but when you're battling snow, sleet, rain, cold all in one run...it's like a gauntlet. I'm happy that I haven't quit though... I can't tell you how many times I've almost just stopped running and wanted to just go into a diner and have a muffin and read for an hour. Or watch reruns of America's Next Top Model.

It's most likely the support (and jeers) I've been getting from my friends, coworkers, and family. I really appreciate the support (and jeers). Keep the support (and jeers) coming!
