I made it.  I finished my last training run.  (And survived another Thursday!)

Now all I have to do is finish packing, fly to Phoenix, and then run the darn race. 

On an unrelated note:  I spent about 40 minutes today on teaching busywork.  After thinking about my post from this morning, I think I ought to just spend 30 minutes each weekday on the work, and try to keep it at that. 

I am more than halfway done with War and Peace.  I’m doing pretty well keeping up with all the characters.  Prince Andrew is my favorite right now…I keep wanting more of that storyline (right after Natasha spurns him) and instead it takes me into a boring part about Napoleon and Alexander the Great.  Less “War”, more “Peace” please, Tolstoy!
