I ran 5 miles Monday & Wednesday. Including Saturday's run, it'll be 19 miles! Getting closer to 26.2! The aches are still at bay. Guess my body is finally getting adjusted to the extra distance. The speed training looks intriguing. I would like to complete Chicago in 4 hours. At the rate I'm going, it's going to be closer to 6 hours. I'm just so afraid if I do any extra running outside of the 3 days, I'll get hurt.
How many 10K'ers were there total?? The number I had said "86" (the year I graduated high school, which is how I remember it)? Not bad for my first 10K! \o/
Changing paragraphs a bit, I've been considering a career change. Reading Matt's blog kind of prompted me. I'm nearly 40 and my life plan hasn't come together as well as I wanted, but in some ways, better than I expected. Not being able to have children has been a challenge to me. Often I cry out to God, just asking Him , "Why??" Especially after I hear about children being abused, abandoned, & neglected. Ok, back to the career change: I had considered being a writer or an elementary school teacher. When I was a little girl, I wanted to be a nurse, but couldn't stand the sight of blood & guts, then I decided I wanted to be a teacher, but later decided I wanted to make more money. So, it was the business field for me, namely accounting. It's useful work and I've always been gainfuly employed, but, it's unfulfilling. Do you ever get the feeling you were destined to do something great, but have no clue as to what it is??? That's how I've felt, much of my life. Hopefully, I'll have more clarity this year. :)
Ok, enough of that. See you all tomorrow bright and EARLY at Fleet Feet! :)

Yes! I often feel I need to use my God given talents to help others. I don't feel I'm doing that being an engineer. I guess all it takes is a leap of faith. God will make sure you get everything you need and most of what you want, always. I've found it to be true so many times in life. So the money will be there to provide for your needs, even if you take a paycut.
ok, enough rambling. see you tomorrow
Yes, yes, and yes!!! I very much feel like I was destined to do something great, but don't know what that is!!! I feel your frustration. Everybody always says do what you love, but napping and eating don't pay very well. About the kid thing, I'm 37, never been married, don't have a man. It doesn't look like kids are in my picture either. Have you considered adoption? I'm going to think about it if I'm still in the same boat when I'm 40. I do feel your pain, very much so!
