I got my confirmation stuff in the mail for the Marathon. I am bib #44554! Ok, now I am freaking out.
On a Better Note
Wrigley turned 4 today! She is getting old :) We didnt buy her a present, but we did send her to daycare. In addition, she got to enjoy a "Frosty Paw" while we ate dinner. By the intent look on her face, I think it was a prefect ending to her day.
Training Log
Time:  48:49 time  Distance:5 miles   Pace:  9:46 min/mi
I think my schedule said to do 45 minute "fartleks" but I didnt quite do that. I ran 5 miles pretty steady, but ended up picking up speed each 1/2 mile for the last 1/5 miles. I sort of did some speed work, but not exactly what Team in Training was looking for :)

It's crazy once you get everything, you realize that you're actually going to do it..not just think about it.
9:46's - that's a pretty good pace! The big day is coming up, best of luck!
A fellow Ph.D. student -marathoner in training! That's awesome! thanks for stopping by my blog. I don't post as often since I caught that mono but I'm hoping to be back on track soon... I understand you about the pressure of writing papers... I'm in the middle of 2 right now and it's causing me lots of stress and insomnia! We can do it =)
