Keep me posted. Maybe we can see each other.
Coralie - sounds like a good way to do a Color Run. Did the kids enjoy it? Philliefan and D2- sounds like you both had good runs. It was beautiful here too. Scotty - happy birthday for real this time. Damaris - I have no idea where we're going to end up. We always play our trips by ear. We go to various State Parks where we can camp and hike and I can run. We had intended to go out to Arizona this year, but there are some family issues that make this a bad time to visit. Last year we stayed in northern Florida and were along the shore during a really cold spell, though it warmed up after a bit. Our previous trip we went all the way to Key West - in the rain - so didn't get to enjoy it much. And that was a cold winter anyhow, even in Florida. The trip before that was mostly central and northern Florida. Florida has a lot of state parks, so who knows where we'll end up. My run today was a mixture. I wasn't feeling a lot of energy, despite the sunshine. It took a long time to warm up, and I was having a really hard time with the hills. I started to do a big loop that ends with a long climb but after 5 1/2 miles I decided I really wasn't feeling it, so I called my husband to meet me at the ice cream shop (thanks Lauren!) and we had some ice cream for lunch. I got cold and stiff eating it, so I went home, drank some water, and got on the treadmill to finish out my 8 miles. Doing so much running on the TM makes it really hard when I do go outside because my lungs just don't handle the hills well. I know it will get better with practice, but I'm still at the stage where every molehill feels like a mountain.

As part of the 2024 London Marathon, I am fundraising for VICTA, a charity that helps blind and visually impaired children. My mentor while in law school, Jim K (a blind attorney), has been a huge inspiration and an example of courage and perseverance. Please consider donating.
