I've been sick with a cold all week and uber-busy at work (not a fun combination) so I never got a chance to share the big news - I ran 18 miles last Saturday! And I mean ran. I didn't walk any of it. I can do this. I'm sure of it.
This weekend we drop down to 13 but we're going up to Bass Lake which should make for some beautiful scenery, nice weather, and challenging hills. I can't wait!

The Human Race
Me and the hubby just got back from our weeklong vacation in New York. The primary purpose of the trip was for the Fresno State/Rutgers game. The secondary purpose was to see NYC. But while we were there ... I decided to run in Nike's Human Race - a 10K being run by thousands of runners in 26 different cities. I also decided to talk my husband into running with me. He had never run over 3 miles before, but he did it! I was so proud of him ... even though his attitude wasn't the best near the end (and by the end I mean the last 4 miles ... miles 1 and 2 were ok). In retrospect, it was really a communication problem. He apparently is not motivated by high fives and 'you can do it' like I am. Instead, those just make him use profanity. Oh well. To each his own. We survived. And I was very very proud of him. Here are some pics:
