Skype with John

WAY back in May, my brother John was in Russia. {I think he reads this blog because he makes fun of it. Hi John.} I had told my class that John was there and one of my students was very interested because she was Russian. She told me that we needed to Skype John so that she could "learn him" Russian. So, she emailed him and we set it up. Of course my class loved it. It is amazing the connections you can make from around the world!

Today.

Hi Friends. I know it's been a while. I was busy being off school for 10 weeks. Don't hate me.

Today I ran 15 miles. Over the week I ran a total of 14 miles. All of those miles were ridiculously good. I am training for the marathon with a straight running pace of 10:30. I naturally run faster than that, but let's face it...it can be tough to be going running for HOURS. Last week, running stunk. This week, running felt great. Today especially.

After my run, I took an ice bath. It wasn't too bad, but definitely not comfortable. However, I currently feel totally fine and am not sore. Maybe ice baths are the answer?
