ACHOO! spring allergies have kicked in... there's a big, beautiful maple tree in my back yard, and it's making me sneeze and wheeze these days...

But it's been a good running week anyway. I turned 40 on Wednesday, and I'm definitely running faster now than I did in my 30's. Wed. was 5 miles at 8:37/ mile, Thur. was 6.5 miles at 8:54, and today was 4.25 miles at 8:25. It's felt like I'm running fast, but not all that fast. I like being 40!
