It wasn't that long ago (four years already?! - okay, so maybe it was a long time ago) when I ran my first half marathon. And while I'm WAY out of shape now, I long for the days when running was relatively easy and pain-free, which is why with Henry's return to daycare (more on that later) I scheduled some much needed me-on-the-treadmill time at the gym. Felt good but the stop in the sauna after my workout felt even better. Aaahhhh. Hot rocks rock.

Watch out! The uteri are falling!
I watched Spirit of the Marathon last night (you can see it on Hulu.com by clicking here, I highly recommend it even if you abhor the thought of running) and got a kick out of one section that delved into women's history with the marathon. The entire movie was inspirational, but I want to thank those ladies who ran first and proved to humankind that women could finish 26.2 miles without having their uteruses fall to the ground. (Did they really think that? Really? Really?)

That was an amazing clip, I can't wait to watch the whole thing . . I got chills as she ran into the coliseum. I love track and field, being in Eugene I feel so connected to runners. Good luck with your running . . . I’m amazed by anyone who has the patience, strength, drive and endurance to run any sort of long distance!
