Yes, I know it's August

Although you wouldn't know that from looking at my calendar. It says July. I haven't changed it over because it's depressing to move to another month when I have so many blank square staring at me in the face. I use my calendar to keep track of my mileage. Every time I get a new pair of shoes, I change the color. So if you came into my bedroom and saw my awesome runner's world calendar covered with random numbers, you now know they stand for miles. But alas I haven't logged any miles in FIVE weeks. I can't bare to flip over to August because it too is filled with lots of blank squares.
But at least I can start changing that a little bit. I got my new orthotics on Friday!!! HOORAY!!! And ran my first two miles on Saturday. I totally kicked track butt. Yes, I'm running on a track. My doctor wants me to avoid hills. So until i get past three miles (maybe 4) I may have to stick to the track. I'm hoping 4 won't be terribly boring since I have an iPod and I have a watch that counts laps.
So tonight when I get home I'll finally flip to August and write in a BIG number 2.
I'm back on my way to 13.1 in November!
