I was just thinking that this blog has pretty much served its purpose. I started it as a way to think through running-related issues leading up to the marathon, and I'm almost finished with running before the marathon. The last few entries haven't had much to say, except for whining about my sore ankle. I think I'll probably stop after the marathon. I don't know that I have much to say that's interesting to anyone, including me. I don't know.
I did talk with Nela today, about her and Paul's imminent visit to celebrate Pierce's 21st birthday on the 2nd. She had talked with a friend of hers who has done numerous marathons and who had some advice:
1. Stop running on a sore ankle, and see a doctor.
2. In the last week before a marathon, spend as much time as possible just watching the grass grow.
I won't be going to a doctor (though I'm sure that's good advice), but I will be taking it easy. I won't do zero running, but I'll not be doing much.
Oops. Just looked at the watch. Gotta go to work.
Later....

Well ... I don't read everyday (or write everyday), but I enjoy reading your blog. Of course, I don't read it for the marathon stuff (sorry, my friend). It's fun to hear what you're thinking about since we don't see each other very often. I vote for keeping it up. You could turn in into a journal about teaching the conspiracy course. Now there's a marathon!

I'll probably keep it up, at least at some level. I don't know how often or what I'll write. Perhaps I'll just turn it into a boring "Here's what I did today" journal blog. That sounds like it would be fascinating!!
