wow, it has been over a week since my last post. i've thought about posting several times, but i've just been tired. everything else is going well. there is nothing new going on in my life. work has been ok, just the usual strangeness going on, nothing out of the ordinary there. running has become more difficult recently, but i blame that on the fatigue. i have had a hard time putting five miles together on the treadmill, but have had decent runs outside for my long runs. i did this weeks long run on saturday because it was supposed to be the nicer of the weather days, and i completed nine miles in 1:48! i was shocked when i came in under two hours. i took a couple of walk breaks, but a couple of times i hit the info button on my ipod and it said i was doing better than 10:30 min/miles, i was thrilled. i should be reassured for the half marathon since my long runs have been so good, but i still feel very unprepared.

i met with teri today, dr r replacement. she seems very nice, and to know what she is doing. dr r has me in a good place, and i honestly think i'm ok with her leaving. i would be lying if i said i had no reservations, but, i'm doing much better than when she found me, and she is entitled to an adventure. i just hope she can enjoy her year off. i will miss her, but i am much more capable of dealing with this than in the past. i really think there will be continuity of care with teri.
