    I immensely enjoyed my long weekend. I ran a half yesterday before going into my next marathon training cycle. I’ve been fighting asthma for nearly 3 months, so I had very low expectations–my main goal was “don’t die of an asthma attack.” I proceeded to run a 1:48:27, which is a 4-and-a-half minute PR. Now my legs hurt.

    I finally told my grandpa that my husband and I were going to get a hotel during our Thanksgiving visit. I got one text about it several hours later saying “We are disappointed you won’t be staying with us. Looking forward to seeing you on Thursday” which I’m 75% sure his wife told him to send. This feels like exactly the kind of thing that she would be offended by and he would not. Ah well.

    I’ve been reading the Wilkie Collins book “The Dead Secret” and it is fabulous. I got very excited when I found this novel in my local bookstore a couple of weeks ago because I had never even heard of this one despite how much I love Wilkie Collins. I’m hoping to finish it today.

      Woohoo amazing job with a new PR!! How did the asthma feel during the race?

      And I couldn’t help but chuckle about the text from your grandfather. I think if it comes up again, you could say the truth about the doorless bathroom thing in a humorous kind of way and all have a laugh about it. It is really weird. I had a room like that growing up, where my bathroom was just the corner of my bedroom, and it was so strange. I didn’t really like it then, and it was just me in there!
