So, we had major layoffs at work this week. I ate a lot of chocolate on Tuesday when it was going down in my department. But I did run on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. And managed to finally get my eating under control.
Today I went out for a nice 12-miler with my friend Vicki. What a fantastic day for a run. It was almost 50 degrees when we started out at 7:30 this morning and gorgeously sunny. Ahhhh, a nice long run feels so good. We tried to keep our pace very reasonable today because we tend to overdo it. But we still found ourselves going way too fast from time to time. I swear, I need to keep my eyes glued to my watch every minute, otherwise my pace just gets out of control.
Vicki agreed to run the Detroit Free Press Marathon with me! Woo hoo, I'm so excited. We run really well together and it will be great to have a training partner for all those long miles. Plus, we're planning to run the whole race together. We don't have any time goals, we just want to get through it. It will be a lot easier to get through it if we run it together. Yeah!

Ah, a beautiful morning for a LR! Oh,and good thing for getting through the layoffs. Chocolate = my best friend too!
I'm getting excited about your marathon training.
Mmmm chocolate, wish I had some right now!
Heh, don't get too excited about my marathon training yet. I won't start until the end of June. And then I'll be hitting you up for advice!
It is so awesome you have a partner for the Marathon!!! It really just makes it so much easier and fun to have someone to train with!
