As I clean up the froot loops, Katie is upstairs sick- she is a diabetic and I don’t know if her blood sugar is low or she’s actually sick, but either way I’m calling her in sick from school today. I’m going to try and do my hard run today in hopes that I’ll have a running partner tomorrow. I’m trying to make an effort to start doing my runs faster again. Eventually, when you run with other people there’s a tendency to talk and start running at other people’s paces so its hard to still get a good workout yet use your easy days to visit at the same time.

My close-to-perfect running partner is out of town until Wednesday so we can only get 2 days of running together this week, which makes it hard.. I’m finding that I’m doing my hard runs by myself which is difficult because it always helps to have someone there to push you
