Laura Skladzinski just became the youngest female to run a marathon in each of the 50 states! Laura was an early running blog friend of mine and it's been exciting to follow her progress. It's hard not to feel inspired after hearing her story. Congratulations, Laura!! Her blog iswww.50by25.com  |

| Official training plan starts next Monday, but I've been working back into daily runs so that I can "hit the ground running" next week. I've been doing 3.1 miles each time so that I can benchmark it, and so far I've been getting in around 30 minutes. Not terrible, but definitely not where I used to be. My quickest 5k time was 23 minutes and some change, so I have some work to do. I'm also trying to eat clean(er) and I think the trick for me this marathon is going to be learning to fuel properly and not go with the "I can eat whatever because I'll burn it off on tonight's run" mentality that got me in trouble the last time. For the record, I did NOT go for a free donut on National Donut Day.  |

| Well, well, well. Look who's back! Today being National Donut Day, I'm back to blogging, but no promises regarding frequency. I'm back to training, this time for the Kansas City Marathon (again) in October. My training plan starts on 6/14, but I started a little early. Life kind of took over and blogging took a back seat (more like a ride in the trunk) to everything else. Right after my last post, I was called to serve as the Bishop of ourchurch. Also had a job assignment change at work. Plus, we're expecting our fourth child (boy #4). Lots of good things going on, and running is back to being a bigger part of that. I don't have to tell anyone how much of a stress reliever it can be, what cheap therapy it is, and the fun that can be had along the way. ps - as a public service, I've compiled a few National Donut Day freebies (just click the links). You can thank me by leaving a comment to let me know you're still with me!
