1. Is it weird to get excited when your coach emails you dates of upcoming long runs? So far I have 18 on 8/22; 20 on 9/5; 18 on 9/12; and 20 on 9/19.

They will definitely look for me, but then remember that mama went back to work to afford the food and…
That is true. It is a time to also recharge my batteries.
