Saw another falling star in the sky this morning.  I know of the yearly meteor shower the second week of August, but I didn't know about this one we're having.  I didn't see the meteor on Tuesday at midnight that lit up the sky and was on the news, but I did see a few on Wednesday morning, and one more today.  I absolutely hate running in the dark.  I know I like running outside and I thought just being outside was enough. It is not, I want to SEE things.  Yesterday's run in the early morning sun felt decadent.  I can't wait for tomorrow.  I'm going to take a leisurely jaunt down the jetty and take as long as I want.  I have been staving off the onset of between marathon boredom/depression however.  We had a great birthday party, my sister came, I went to Austin, I'm hosting another friend's birthday tonight, then Thanksgiving-- my favorite holiday ever, then Christmas.  I can't start getting all funky until at least Jan. 2.  I have to hold it off until then.  Then, I will start training in earnest for Boston.  I can make it....I can do it.  It's not even the end of November.

I'm with you on the Vitamin D. Man, we should be celebrating Thanksgiving in Phoenix like we said we would. I am still working on how to get to the turkey run that early and have stuff made. I think I cn pull it off, but I'm not fit for more than 7-8 miles right now. Thanks for the "let's hang in there"!

Just remember that January is only 4 weeks! February is short :) March will be here next, and April is right after that :D I actually start to feel better in February, because it touches March :D

You're doing wonderfully! Just hang in there and do what you can. Remember how wonderfully blessed you are that you can simply get out and run! Even just one mile!! You can run an extra for me anytime :)
