This morning was the first day of official training (for me) for the Lincoln 2012 Marathon. Since I was out of town and missed the first marathon class and my Saturday morning run, I ran a little extra this morning - Mary and I did five miles and it was good. For those of you who are wondering who Mary is she is my dog; I have a five year old Black Lab/Golden Retriever mix that runs with me.  Overall, everything felt good and my playlist was excellent! I think that this year's training is off to a good start.

     My reading is off to a good start too! So far this year I have read six books. Last night I finished an excellent nonfiction book called How They Croaked: the awful ends of the awfully famous by Georgia Bragg. I definitely think it will make the 2012 Teen Read Week list and it made me really appreciate antibiotics.
