Strange how the body works. Incidently, I just saw your blog for the first time today...my name is Betsy too, I am a runner, AND I love coffee!

Not only that, you were out there when everyone else was doing nothing.

I think of anything over an hour as worth being happy about...it might not be the Saturday long runs you're used to from marathon training, but it is impressive to find the time and motivation to do it - especially with that crazy Jack to entertain you!<BR/>I was never this wordy until I started blogging! :)Meghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07819934745994804681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20790706.post-54708362061271149282008-03-25T20:07:00.000-05:002008-03-25T20:07:00.000-05:00You know, to most "normal" (ie: all those lazy pee...You know, to most "normal" (ie: all those lazy peeps that were inside watching tv, while you were running) people, 8 miles is a LONG way to run.

Funny, because it is one of the longer runs for a half marathon training schedule. And definitely nothing to sneeze at.<BR/><BR/>In fact, I'll be running 3 1/4 8's on Saturday...newsjunkiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17145873291447779793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20790706.post-48842048321581535532008-03-25T15:58:00.000-05:002008-03-25T15:58:00.000-05:00See... don't beat yourself up over it.
