When Did Fifty Become Such a Small Number?

No, I'm not talking about age [yet], I'm talking about FIFTY DAYS until the MDI Half Marathon.  Yikes!!!

I don't know what happened to the last 50 (99 seems like just yesterday) and I anticipate that my freak-out level will increase exponentially over the next 7 weeks so please bear with me.  Of course, if I continue to drink iced caramel lattes, then the combination of fear and caffeine may prove to be rather productive!  [I did get a lot done at work today...but it was also my last day before vacation (woo hoo!), so I kinda had to.]

Anyway, back to the running update...

I'm doing all right with my training, but not well enough to feel particularly confident.  I'm enjoying running on a lovely trail by the Stillwater and last week I ran by the Charles in Boston (look for a separate post about the amazing conference I attended, and other fun stuff I did while in Beantown).  My runs there weren't particularly long, but I was pretty busy and it was really hot out. And I did get to visit a real runner's holy place.  Here I am attempting to look athletic at the Boston Marathon finish line:
