I ran just over 10.5 miles this morning-- another longest yet! And so now I'm flirting with the idea of finding a half-marathon somewhere reasonably nearby this fall, instead of waiting till spring to try that distance; I've just realized that I could probably do it right now!

... and to think, it was right about this time last year that I started running. Couldn't make it half a mile without stopping. Now, I'm looking ahead to the 10k that's only 2 weeks away and thinking boy, that's a short distance-- too short to count as a long run....
