I can go the distance

I have chosen and decided all on my own, that I am going to run distance. YES! I started about a month ago and have gotten up to eight miles at a timea and 20 mi per week. Very minor when you go to the running sites on the web and look at people running 50 + MPW. WOW, to be like them. Well, they also have way too much time.
My goal, is to get up to 16 miles (in one run) by June and then see. I don't want to commit to the marathon quite yet.
But I do want to do 30+ MPW on a regular basis.
I have to say that the runs, I have had recently haven't been the best, but that might be because I've been fighting an infection as well as some sort of stomach viras.
(So rude for my body to do that to me.)
Today, I am going to run 4, which should be simple enough, though it could be more difficult then usual because I am going to run the road up the bluff hill.... So good for the legs.
In other news, my birthday is in three days. Yeah hurray. Though to tell the truth I am really not that excited about it.
The good thing, however, is that I am going to have a really yummy dinner with my babe. He's going to grill steak and I am going to prepare shrimp...(YUM!!) and it will be delightful. Unfortunately there will be no alcohol because the treatment for the afore mentioned infection states that mixing alcohol and the drug could cause sever sickness... yuck!
And, uhm let me see.......
Ok, that's it. I need to get back to regularly schedualed programs....
