I Cannot Think of a Title
I cannot think of a title. It is pretty early in Chicago and my dog and I are watching the news. The disaster that his hit with this Tsunami is devastating and beyond words. It really makes me think twice about how I live my life. There are always little changes I can be making to really make a difference and really make life worth living. I guess I am slightly depressed given the current state of things in the world - the death tolls in both Iraq and Thailand, etc. continue to rise. It's so frightening and beyond explanation (well, Iraq has a certain explanation but I will not spill all of my anti-war sentiments on here - we are there now and we cannot simply desert the country).
I think I just needed to say something about all of this.
On to running - I took Monday off (WHY?), but I had a great run yesterday! I went to the gym with C. (who is 8 months pregnant...I am about to become a first-time Aunt!!!), and I ran 7 miles on the treadmill. Most of the miles were between 6:48-6:53 pace. I finished the run in 49:09. I also ran with A. last night - we ran for 23 minutes together, so I am calling it 3 miles :) She is such a FUN person to run with - I am hoping that we hit the roads for another 3-5 tonight. She is an accountant and her busy season seems to have struck early - she is currently working 14 hour days (how?).
Chicago is experiencing a really weird heat wave - which seems even stranger since we just had an artic blast with minus degree temps. One newscaster predicted a high of 50 for New Year's Eve!!!
I hope all are well and happy and healthy:)
