Will and I hammered out four miles today.  Everything was wet.  There was a pretty good storm early, early this morning.  We took the stroller's rain cover, but we didn't need it.  Will and I still haven't ran in the rain here and we've been in Iowa for almost seven weeks.  Our days are numbered.  We'll get wet soon enough--I'm sure.

Good ideas about the books, James may be onto something. I don't think Bella will ever become a vampire because that will cancel out Jacob. So I do like the idea of them becoming human. Maybe that will be Bellas power the ability to change them. When she is bitten because she is immune to the other vampire powers? Guess we'll just have to wait! I hate it! Good job on the run today! My week is crazy this week, so just getting out is a victory for me so far today it hasn't happened but it will!

Andrianne- Glad you introduced yourself, I was feeling silly calling you crumby all the time- although that is an interesting nickname, you have to explain! You asked how I like training for my 1st marathon. Its different! I really consider myself more of a 5k/ 10k girl. My 5k and 10k times aren't anything to write home about but they can usually land me a 3rd place in my age division at a small race. So I got used to that satisfaction. Training for a marathon is a whole different ballgame. Sometimes I get discouraged because I weigh more when I run alot- I'm sure some of its muscle, but also I don't get in bed early enough- so due to lack of sleep I overeat to keep my energy up- this is my hypothesis anyway. So I'm kinda looking forward to getting this marathon over with, losing 5-10 lbs and sleeping more! That being said. Its been a really fun experience. I'm training most days with a good friend who is slow but tough, mother of 4, its her 4th or 5th marathon. I mix that training up with the St. George running club gals and some other friends who push me a little more where speed is concerned. I'm excited for Oct. 6th, but I realize it will all be over in 1/2 a day so I don't want to build it up too much. Sorry for the novel- I'm sure that's more info than you wanted!!! Have a great day!!!!!!
