Tuesday was a great morning to run. Marathena, Massoman and I each did our individual workouts on the track. Mine was a 20 minute tempo with a one-mile warm up and cool down. Tempo pace was 9:42 per mile. But the best part of the run was when Marathen and I decided to run the Houston Marathon in January! I’m not sure if I should be excited or panicked, so we’ll choose excited and I’ll add that to my list of races.
Wednesday was an easy 3-mile with Massman and BW. My Nano wasn’t working so I was a little more chatty than usual. I also attended a real yoga class at my friend Sherry’s studio. It was much needed. I’m sure Yoga Boyfriend was more than happy to stay in his box, especially after his last tongue-lashing after the prior week’s yoga abuse. After class Sherry and I went to a lovely dinner after caught up on way too many years of not keeping in touch. It was nice. If you live in the DFW area and need a good yoga session, check out Sherry’s yoga studio, InnerWisdom Yoga. Classes are very private with only a maximum of five students per session. You won’t regret it – it’s so much more than your typical yoga class.
Yesterday was an extremely bad day of cramps. This pleasure reminded me I needed to follow up with the bastard insurance company so I can schedule my uterine gutting. If my attitude doesn’t adjust a little Michael is going to gut me himself.
Today I have a 50-minute run scheduled – the first 3 miles I’ll run with Cindy and Deena. I’m really looking forward to it. Sunday I have an easy eight-mile run scheduled. Until then, enjoy this picture of my boys. Aren’t they handsome?

UPDATE: Finished the the 3-mile run with Cindy and Deena. These girls are too funny! Walked 3 Donkey miles when I got home.
And Rikki is loved, she’s just psychotic – see, we captured a prozac moment.

Nothing really to say, I just wanted to be the first to comment – before 50 other people.
Congrats on the marathon decision.
Great new header.
Congrats on committing to Houston! I think you’ll like it…it’s a great race, but of course I am a bit biased.
Awwe love the pic! Hope you are feeling better!
Sounds like a good week of training
Houston is a fast marathon. I set a PR in 2003. Very flat. Enjoy yourself.
Poor Rikki. Nobody loves her.
Houston, we have lift off!
Houston is Flat! Have fun.
I was wondering when I was going to hear about another marathon in your future.
It looks as if Rowdy is telling Michael (tap, tap) to put the choke on Donkey.
That Rikki face is funny. So pouty, and yet so funny at the same time.
Susan,
U are ready for the marathon…those are great pics.
Great pics and great week of training.
Congrats on picking a marathon.

Have you taken a “What Can You Live With?” mental attitude position on your guts? Okay.
Good on you for Houston and 26.2 in January. Your can latch on to a training plan pretty well here in mid-September.
Well Step 1 “Pick a Marathon”
now time to write Step 2, 3, …
Good for you.
I think the marathon goal is just what you need. Of course I’d think that! You will have a schedule to follow, you will get in your runs, and when you need motivation..well, I’ll help you! Now I’m looking for the pic of you with darker hair and trying to compare..but can’t find it. I’m scheduled for a pamper day next Saturday on St. Paul’s Posh Grand Avenue, a massage, a facial..color and cut. But I think I’m going to go darker. I’m kind of tired of the washed out blonde look, I’m no longer blonde..as I get older my roots are getting darker. Yikes..
Houston – that’s a fast marathon. Exciting!
I’m not qualified to comment on handsomeness.
That’s cool that you’re running Houston. I had every intention of doing the Half here, but will be out of town for a friend’s wedding.
Maybe I’ll make it back in the morning Sunday so that we can cheer on runners at the finish.
Keep up the great running!
Although I’ve never run it, I hear the Houston Marathon is an excellent marathon.
