5mi in 45 minutes!

I just ran 5 miles in 45 minutes. This is a big deal for me because I am a pretty slow runner and tend to run 10 or 11 minute miles.

I don't usually run in the evenings, but with the semester screeching to a grinding halt, my schedule has become somewhat complicated. There's school, work, volunteering, and training for the marathon as usual, but now there are suddenly (at least it seems sudden, though I've known about it for months) final projects and papers due in less than 2 weeks, and a 20 minute presentation to give on Saturday.

And yet I am blogging.

I am very proud of myself for getting a run in today, which is also J's birthday, even though there has been so much to do. And speaking of things to do, it is time to stop this entry and actually get some real work done. It's not even midnight yet.....
