- Amazed I can call 9 miles of running "not too far"
- Amazed I've actually been running 3 times a week consistently
- Amazed at the impact once a week speed work actually has on my ability to run faster
- Amazed that I could improve my Seattle 1/2 marathon time by 13 min (yeah speed work)
- Amazed how long it took to run 15 miles this week (ouch - I was slow - but I did it)
- Amazed that in 68 days I'll run 26.2 miles (still having a little trouble visualizing this)
- Amazed I've been running this much and gained 5 lbs (yes - need to layoff on the sweets)
- Amazed how much time/running it takes to train for a marathon - how am I supposed to get my Christmas shopping done?
Barb volunteered for this week - but currently out of town (on her way home - currently in the Dallas airport)
Tonight (Monday) - at this point it looks like it is just Jen & I - so will meet at Fort Dent at 6:30 for a south end run (Emily - please join us if you can).
Thursday & Sat - Barb will post more info later this week
Hope your training is amazing you too!

Lee, You are amazing! We are going to have a great time in Austin and a great marathon. Speaking of, did anyone else look at the historical temperatures for the marathon? Two years ago the low was 29 and the high 37 degrees--brrrrr.
And yes, for anyone who had any doubt, I'm now officially registered for Austin.
I am amazed at the wonderful people I have to train with. Thanks again Lee and melinda - for pushing me on last nights run - and for all your encouragement1
