Allll byyyy myyyyself...

Last night, once again, I participated in the weekly run from the Woodlands T stop into town to Crossroads.  I was a little late, so by the time I got to the T station everyone had already embarked on their run; I decided to give it a go on my own.  To be honest, I wasn't expecting much from myself.  If you've read any of my previous posts, you would know that I give 90% of the credit for finishing my last few long runs to the people I have been running with and their ability to push me past my limit.  Last night, as I lost sight of the T stop in the darkness, I wasn't feeling too confident in my ability to push myself for a full 9 miles without the support from fellow runners.  It was funny though, I don't know if I was lost in my own thoughts or I was in a trance from my music, but the run went by so quickly I was running down Beacon St in Brookline before I knew it.  The run was a total breeze!  Maybe I should start giving myself a little more credit for those long runs...

Lauren - you are my personal hero right now. And you blog is going to be a lovely new class-time distraction for this girl, because let's face it . . . checking facebook, U of I e-mail, hotmail, tmz.com, and playing quick game of free tetris just isn't hacking it anymore.

On a random note - it is 10 below zero here and Belle was almost eaten by 2 cyotes last night. Good times! I miss you! Off to get a few cavities drilled!
