Guests

So this past week has involved playing hostess to one of my favorite people in the world, my cousin and her step-daugher. While I will admit things have been a little crammed from time to time, overall it's been really fantastic having them here. Really makes me wish I lived nearer to my family! If only my family could live somewhere better than Indianapolis...but I digress...

I always love when people are here exploring the city. It inspires me to do so as well, which quite frankly is a good thing because left to my own devices I can be a little lazy about exploring the city I love so much. Sometimes I think I take it for granted because it's right here and so easy to access that I don't do as much as I'd like to. In fact, many of my "30 before 30" goals are around doing things in the city. I suppose I should post those goals here too in order to keep myself accountable! But I'll wait until after the summer goals are done

In other news, I ran again yesterday without pain! That's four pain free runs my friends! Very exciting here. The sad news is that I've absolutely lost some of the endurance I've worked up over the past few months which has filled me with doubt regarding the half marathon and the full marathon. But I've reached out to some various people for advice about this and am hoping to come up with a plan to get me back on track.

I'm planning to do a long run this weekend (8-10 miles) to see if I can truly run the half marathon next weekend. Wish me luck, I'm nervous!
