9 miles today! Felt great! The thought that was reoccurring in my mind today was "one foot in front of the other". Sometime that's the best way to get through the day.

Do you have a good life?

I had been feeling really done today. Money is tight, the rain won't stop, trying to make some big decisions about work. I went for a walk on my break to look at paint samples. While waiting to cross the street the homeless man on the corner walked up to me. I was trying to avoid eye contact. I didn't have any money to give and was trying to avoid an awkward moment. He stepped next to me and asked "do you have a good life?". I do have a good life. Sometimes I need reminding.

It's been a while...

I haven't checked in for a while so I thought I'd drop by. I am officially training for a marathon! In about six months I will be running Portland marathon, 26.2 miles. I have started training and to be honest, the final distance scares me. I've done 1/2 marathons and finished strong but we are talking about twice that distance! It will be a lot of work and time. So far it feels good. I like being scheduled and working toward a goal. I am only up to six miles for my longest training run so far but this week that goes up to 7.5 miles. Not a terribly long distance but the start of some longer, harder runs. Wish me luck!
