well, after a couple of weeks of gluttony and sloth, i dropped off on my mileage: last week i could only run 7, this week 8. but my plan is to increase by a mile a week so i can get up to half marathon distance long before the actual race. especially since 3 weeks before race time i'll be taking a couple weeks off for a road trip with switters. i am so excited about that. we're now thinking of going the northern route so we can go through colorado and i can meet his parents and brothers and their families and see all the places he rambled around when he was growing up. my only concern is my driving out in the snow going out there and being cold. i hate to be cold. i guess i just have to make sure i have to right supplies. only 10 weeks.
the weather has turned brisk and i LOVE it! it always puts me in such a great mood. i started a new knitting project that i hope to finish by november. i also started working on a puzzle. i was feeling very domestic and crafty yesterday--i cleaned, baked some banana bread, wrote some letters.
i think i need some more coffee. switters is calling in a few so we can look over an atlas and a calendar and make some more concrete plans.
