When my game for Friday evening was canceled, it gave me a chance to stay home and read. And read I did. I finished the books True Grace: The Life and Times of an American Princess by Wendy Leigh and Final Disclosure by David W. Belin. Saturday afternoon, I started my third book for the weekend, John Wayne: My Life with the Duke by Pilar Wayne. The book is a fast read and I hope to finish it later today or even tomorrow.
Staying true to my half-marathon schedule, I ran 8 miles yesterday morning. That was the hardest thing I have ever done. It took so much out of me. During the course of the run I stopped twice and walked for less than a minute. During my breaks, I guzzled water and Gatorade. I think I drank too much and it made my run worst. I was so happy when the treadmill said I was done. Hopefully this Sunday's 8 mile run will go better.
This week I will cross over 100 miles run for the year. It will feel so good to accomplish that milestone so early in February. Usually I don't reach 100 miles until March.
I can't believe Lent starts Wednesday. It is so early. This year I will be giving up the vending machine at work. I gave it up last year and didn't miss it. I have been really good about bringing breakfast with me to work every day. Recently I have been making visits to the vending machine. When I make the visits that means we're out of food and my husband and I have to go grocery shopping.

Congrats on the 8 mile run!
I can't imagine logging 8 miles on a treadmill though. I want to cry once the digital readout says 3.
It's either run on the treadmill or not at all. I don't run outside in the winter. I have a thing about wet shoes and socks. I can't stand it.
To help the time pass while on the treadmill, I watch TV. If I wasn't staring at a TV, I don't think I could do it.
