back in the swing of things--

Well for those of you who follow my Twitter you know I have been trying to get back to running... well after taking 4 days off I went running this afternoon and increased my distance to a grand total of 1.5 miles......at a ten minute mile I am not fast right now or going long distances yet but I am starting to get back into the act of running. Even feeling that first little bit of runners high.

I am finding more and more that when I have people to run with who are faster and can run farther than I can, I am more motivated. I have been running on the tread mill because I am a pansy and it is flipping cold outside...ranging from 20's to 30's- too cold to just jump right into-maybe next year I will be accustomed to the cold and will be able to run long distances and not feel like my lungs are about to burst.

In other news I am scheduled to take the GRE on Feb. 21 and I feel completely unprepared...I have study aides but it is hard to take the first step of opening or getting those out.... I did however find out that my sunday school teacher's wife is a math teacher= sweet....I am really struggling to regain the ability to do advanced math- like I know what has to be done to solve the problems but not how....hopefully w/in the next month I will have a new confidence...
anyway I hope everyone is well.
Much love, Ira
