I wish I didn't have to work...

Getting off at 5pm Mon-Thur sucks. Friday, it's 7am-4pm, but Friday's are usually "rest" days for me. I watched it get up near 60 today & sunny. By the time I got off & got changed, the bottom dropped out. Carla & I had good intentions but it just didn't happen. I decided that the treadmill hurts me more than it helps me so I walked/jogged 3 miles on it in 32 mins, did 35 mins elliptical, yoga ball crunches, & some free weights on my arms. Tomorrow, I'll probably bundle up & get out in my neighborhood, who knows... I'm such a huge slacker these days.

I got bored during lunch & looked up all my 1/2 marathon times, probably to convince myself to go to Cedars of Lebanon this Sat. ha ha! If it's not raining cats & dogs, I'm heading there. It's a part of the state park series. So what if my running has been on the downslide. I know I can complete a half respectably even though it will probably be a PW. So, after reminicing about better, faster times, here are the halves. I LOVE the distance, seriously.
