Feeling Good
I have been feeling pretty darned good lately. This makes me happy! I am not sure what caused it - running doubles (doubtful), sleeping more (probable), eating somewhat less crap (also probable), taking my vitamins every day (definitely possible). Anyway it is great! I also feel that I am starting to drop a pound or two which is nice for sure. It helps me feel a little more energetic on my runs.
I did not have time to blog yesterday (even though I left work at 3:00), because I was just running around like crazy - ran 8 miles in the morning, 3 miles after work, picked up our U2 tickets from a friend, went grocery shopping, picked up mail at my apartment, cleaned the bathroom, etc., etc. I should also mention because it has been a few days that Monday I ended up with an 8/4 double. So I have solid mileage for the week so far. I have been feeling fine on my runs which is also nice. This morning we had a little change in the weather - it was a bit colder, very cloudy, and kind of misty and foggy when I ran. It was so, so pretty. I did this run where I go a few miles east and then run around the lake at City Park, and the view from there back to downtown is just outstanding. It makes you feel so happy to be alive! I ran 7 this morning and I think I should have time before we need to get going to U2 to run 3-4 miles this afternoon/evening. I am really trying to run decent mileage this week and if the only way I can do it is to run a double every day, I will.
Great job to all who ran at Boston. From the few people I have talked to about it, it sounds like the conditions were very, very tough! My friend C. said she is so sore that she needs to walk down the stairs backwards! She is such a trooper that she will be out running 20 miles on Sundays very soon though.
Anyway I am so excited for tonight, and I am getting pumped about the Sneak on Sunday. It should be a good time and a great weekend overall!

I'm glad your runs are going so well this week and that you are feeling good! Sometimes just reading your blog entrys makes me happy - so much energy! :)
Have fun at the U2 concert (I am jealous!). And in case I miss you - good luck in your race this weekend. I can't wait to hear all about it!
