NINE
Chris and I are celebrating 9 years of marriage today. The past nine years have taken us from Boston (where we met) to Ohio (where I went to grad school and Chris taught 4th grade) to Romania to sort out my visa, (where I did research, applied for my psychology residency in US and Canada, Chris taught math an an international school, and we got pregnant), to New Castle, NH (where we lived with Chris's mom for a couple of months) and then back to Boston (where we had Petru, I completed my residency and am currently working) and Arlington (where we bought a house 2 years ago). What a ride! Through it all, Chris has never stopped making me laugh every single day....can't beat that!

I had a tempo run today, 3 miles easy + 2 miles @ 7:14 + 3 miles easy = 8. The run went well, though I procrastinated it as long as I could...and the gray skies and rain (yes, rain again) did not help me get out of the house quickly. It was an OK run , not super (like Monday's speedwork). For some reason, I have a much harder time with tempo runs than with long runs or speed work. I think my legs were tired today, and that made the run more challenging. I can run 3 miles @ 7:06 after swimming and biking, yet I struggle with 2 little miles at a slower pace. ..
Here are the stats:
3 miles @ 8:20; 2 miles tempo @ 7:10; 2.5 miles @ 8:24; .5 mile @ 9:00.

-leaf clover, that is! I found it on my run today! I use to spend hours as a child looking for them, and now my eye is trained and I keep finding these little guys everywhere I go. I make cards and little frames with them - I have over 100 at this point!
Celebration, run and four leaf clover - a good day indeed!

happy anniversary!!!!! wow you guys have had quite a journey :)
awesome job on the tempo too... they are tough!
Happy Anniversary! I hope you had a great day!
what a great day!! Happy Anniversary!
happy anniversary! sounds like a fun 9 years so far and here's to many more!
man i never find 4-leaf clovers. sounds like a cool collection though.
Happy anniversary!! Sounds like you guys have travled around the sun and back in such a quick period. So cool to have someone to enjoy the ride with!
Nice tempo. those are my least favorite workout. very tough.
Thanks for the props on the interval workout. I will have to try some different types of foods after those hard workouts I guess. Part of the problem is that I don't get home from them until almost 8pm and I never eat dinner beforehand so there is not much time for refeuling before I hit the sack.
I actaully don't drink electrolytes but I am going out for a hill repeat run tonight and I think it's a good idea to try it. I usually only reserve them for long runs, but I'm learning the heat is a different animal. We don't have the crazy high temps and humidity you do so when it's over 75* I start melting.
Oh yay! Happy Anniversary to you guys!! Hope it was a great day! :)
I really struggle on tempo runs too--don't know what it is about them! But great job getting through it!
Happy belated anniversary! My, you've been through a lot in nine years :)
