Had a great 4 mile run this evening. The getting darker earlier is interfering with training a bit, but not too bad. Sunday is another 'longer than I've ever gone before' endurance run. 18 miles this week. 20 miles the next, then 12, then 22 ( I think) - after that the endurance runs dwindle significantly until the marathon. I can't believe it's as close as it is.

Anna is showing some improvement on the pneumonia front. She is on less oxygen now and starting to have a little bit of an appetite, although admittedly not much. She's resting better and I don't think struggling quite as much to breathe. I'll keep you posted. Please continue to keep her and her family in your prayers.
