-I ran 5 miles on a track today. That's lots of left turns. 2 and a half months until the marathon and I am kicking it up a notch in my training. I did a tempo run today where each mile got faster. My last mile was 1:30 faster than my marathon pace! I felt like a soccer player again because my lungs were burning. On Saturday I am doing a 15 mile run...woah baby.

-I can't wait for the girls to play Maryland on Thursday night to kick off the ACC season. No more messing around! And we get to see Pells, our ex assistant coach that went to Maryland. There are no words to describe Pells, well actually I can think of a few...

-Loving the addition of Lo and Ashley on VIRB. I will have to carry a dictionary around to read Lo's blog posts but its totally worth it because she's got it goin' on! Ashley is a high school friend that is livin' the life I look forward to some day...MARRIED LIFE! I like to read about whats going on in her life.
