A Day Off (sort of)

I'm a teacher so no work today.  It is looming on the horizon though.  Didn't run today, a planned day off.  I spent today cleaning and scrubbing.  I did those dark corners of the house and spaces behind the couch that most will never see.  I have to do those things now as once work starts again, all those spaces will be neglected.  I sat on my couch today knowing the space underneath was sparkly clean.  Have a 7 mile run planned for tomorrow.  Not an easy feat for me now.  My 20 mile runs are a distant memory.  I'm just now trying to claw my way back up to thirteen miles.  I have a September 17th deadline as I've signed up for the Asheville half.  My husband and son are running it too so there will be witnesses if I fail.  I still say that there is no better motivation to run than the chance you might embarrass yourself publicly
