STILL GOING
I finished my paper on Joe Christmas and gladly handed it in yesterday at 2:34PM. I breathed a brief sigh of relief, drove home, skipped my run, and fell asleep. (I finally have the green light to run again, but it has become extremely easy to rationalize, "Ah, one more day off won't kill me.") No more excuses on the running front after Thursday, but I might extend my running vacation until then. On a side note, my best friend, Caroline, sitting across from me as we diligently research and write at our favorite Chicago cafe, ran 6 miles this morning. Since we are spiritually connected (even though we look genetically connected - she could easily be my sister), I consider her brave act of running in the midst of frantic paper writing some kind of personal redemption for my current lack of miles. I don't think that sentence made any sense either, but so it goes!
Anyway, the highlight of my day appeared in my email inbox about 2 hours ago, and I cannot help but share it. Rosie has a special little friend that she now takes everywhere; it even sleeps on the floor near her crib. Priceless.
