Random running updates

*Written Friday…

Today is one of those Fridays where productivity is a struggle.  However, my need to putter at work left me with the brilliant idea to catch up on my blog reading during lunch.  This way I was being productive…really ;)
So first of all, I want to share this blog entry from a fellow marathon runner who I went to college with on stupid comments said to runners because I get many of these same comments and even more interesting ones given that people do not understand how someone who is blind could possibly do things like run marathons…  Really I should start a list of things people say to me and whoever I’m running with on a run when they notice the running tether…it’s funny
Secondly I realized that I have been neglecting the blog.  In the sense that not much interesting has been going on, and definitely not much I think others would be particularly interested in, this is not a problem except that writing my posts feels like part of running and training at this point. 
Life has continued to be very busy, but I have luckily gotten myself back into a good running pattern.  I was fortunate enough last Saturday (6/2) to get to run with Megan, and therefore the treat of 15 miles rather than the 10 Bennett will run with me.  If I ever doubted that endurance running is for me, the amazing feeling of running 15 miles on a beautiful Saturday morning, with no race training dictating I do so, would clear that up…not that I really had any doubts J
Since Bennett has been forced to work really long hours at work, I’ve been spending a lot of time on the treadmill.  This is sad since it’s a nice temperature out and mostly light in the mornings to run before work, but I am at least glad I have the ability to still run.
