Happy St. Patty's Day!!!!

WHEW! Today was the longest run ever by 2 full miles!! That's right, we ran over 18 miles on this beautiful morning. And it WAS a beautiful morning, if you don't count the fact that we got 4 inches of sleet yesterday and ran on slush for most of our run. In fact, as I type this, I can hear some poor stranded sould sprinning his tires trying to get out of a snowed-in parking spot. Lovely.

So today we ran three full loops of Central Park. With each loop just over 6 miles, this was one heck of a run!!!  Kiernan, Erica and I ran together and actually managed to make the time go by by talking about pretty much anything we could think of.  I must admit, the first loop was a little depressing, just becaues you realize that you still have 2 more after that!!  However, as we pressed on, it became gradually less depressing and even a little exciting.  I mean, we nor realize that WE CAN DO IT!!!  We CAN run 26.2 miles on April 28th!!!

Notice all the "we's".  I must say, being a part of Team In Training has been an amazing experience in building friendships through adversity.  I have loved every minute I've gotten to spend out on the trails, in the bar, or writing e-mails with my new friends.  Team In Training just attracts the BEST people!!!!!!

Well, unfortunately, I must make this short.  I'm off to meet my teammates for some St. Patrick's day festivities.  I'm ashamed that I just pulled out my 1 green T-shirt and realized that not only has it not been worn or washed since last March 17th, but it is still  inside-out which is what I did to hide the lettering last year at the Tin Roof.  Good times!!!
