I ran the last part of the marathon with my mom. I have only recently gotten over my 6 week long flu/cold, so it felt good to be able to run again.

I did a 3.25 loop around UCR campus.  I was surprised at how fast I went, considering the shape I'm in right now: 21:10.  Not that that's blazing, but since I had been sick for so long, I was quite surprised to go that fast.  The course was measured, so I'm confident that it's at least pretty close.

It was a nice mid morning run.  Anna and the boys are visiting family, while I'm staying for school.  They'll be back soon, though, so I'm excited.  I'm walking to school everyday which is about a mile each way and then around campus, so I'm not entirely sedentary.  This year has been a slow running year, with a trip to Germany, a baby, applying to and deciding on graduate school, moving to the school we chose, and then my 6-week cold/flu, but I'm optimistic for the rest of the year and for next.  And school is great!
