skipping another run

I feel so guilty skipping today's run. Yesterday I felt like I was getting over my cold a bit so I headed out but decided to cut my 7 miler down to 5 because it was getting dark and I didn't want to overdo it. I managed to run what I think is a new 5 mile PR without really trying. I felt pretty good. Today I feel like a snot faucet. Too much information? Oh well. I'm hoping that by resting today and getting out of work a bit early tomorrow, I will be ready for my 15 mile run on Saturday. Did I just type "15 mile" and "run" right next to one another??

The weather has taken a much appreciated turn and it feels absolutely fantastic to run in the cooler breezes and end up at home not completely soaked in sweat and red-faced. I'm almost looking forward to my next half marathon in a few weeks to see if I might actually improve my time simply because the weather is more favorable.

I saw molasses cookies in the store a few days ago and thought of Grandma. Sometimes I buy them but of course they are never like grandma's cookies.

  2. Mom, I have the recipe for "green stuff" but not the cookies. I think Aunt Jan has the cookie recipe though. Maybe I will call Dad while he's in Bath and have him ask her for a copy.
