The last 3 weeks have been pretty tough. They are behind me though and now looking ahead to the Crazy Horse Half Marathon in the Black Hills.
Today we headed to the park – Jim walked while I ran 3 miles. It felt good, no problems. Did lots of stretching.
Then we came home and worked in the yard for 2 hours.
Brush from trimming.
Gave our bushes and Japanese Maple a hair cut.
My running goal for the week: 19 miles.
Still missing our Cypress…

Constantly thinking about what Alex is doing…
Alex (smiling, sunglasses with red jacket) on school bus trip to Chicago, earlier this year.
Knowing he will be fine without our constant parental advice/direction at college.
Back to lots of running because this will be my best race yet!
More later…
Running for Life 
Nice post. However well I do in races I always think my best race is ahead of me. I guess that makes us both optimists!!
