I ran 20 miles today

"Wow" you say? That is the appropriate response. I'm pretty impressed myself. My training schedule was for 17-18, but I was feeling so good I rounded it to an even 20.

I am starting to know the ins and outs of Central Park as well as I knew Golden Gate Park when I was living in San Francisco. I had a blast running on all the winding trails of the woods. It feels like the back woods of Vermont when you're tucked away in the little paths in the Park.
I'm feeling really confident about the Boston Marathon. I officially signed up today and am telling anyone who will listen.



I am honored that I will be a part of the most prestigious marathon in the world. But even cooler is that I watched every year as a kid from the 19th mile marker and handed out orange slices.




David is currently training so he can escort me past our house and up the infamous Heartbreak hills- the hills from mile 17-20. Apparently he's practicing his jokes too so I have a distraction from running uphill.
