trips

Three weeks from Sunday is the marathon. Whoa. This Saturday is 23 miles. Whoa. Been working really hard for it: eating appropriately, not drinking (although that's not new), going to bed on time, doing all my shorter runs. I'm ready.

Two exciting things:

1. Nate and I are going to New York at the end of October. He has to go that weekend with his class and I coincidentally have to be there for a wedding. So now we get a mini-vacation! Too bad we don't really like New York. It'll be great anyway, and now I have a date for the wedding.

2. Then a month later we are renting a car and driving to Minneapolis (with Audrey!) for the Alternative Family Thanksgiving at Kevin and Paul's place. I. Can't. Wait. I don't even know when the last time was that I was at their house. At least a year? Too long. Heated tile floor here I come.
