Heck, let's think of some things to be glad about this Monday!!!
I ran 15 miles. No matter how ugly, no matter how many walk breaks towards the end, I did it. Thanks to my sister, Coach Jen, who talked to me on the phone for the duration of those final miles.
I'm glad we took a nice picture! Sometimes it's like pulling teeth, but Mr. Miller always comes through in the end looking all handsome and such. SOMETIMES Lambeau Puppy looks at the camera...sometimes.
I'm glad we got to spend time together as a family. Meet the McAuliffes! My brother and his family. We had a great time playing bingo, catchphrase, beach football, and building sand sculptures.
I'm glad I got to meet me college roommate's baby. Eleanor, you stole my heart. She is a PRECIOUS pumpkin and it was such a wonderful experience to share that with my friend. Amazing how, years later, it's like yesterday that we lived in Watson Hall together. XOXO Sterns!
I'm glad that NYRR is attempting to remedy their congestion situation. Say WHAAAAT?! Yes, I'm a believer. I'm a believer in change. After my HORRID experience last year, something's gotta give! Tomorrow's post will be EXTRA special with coupon codes and suggestions for race day storage. Be on the lookout!
What are you glad about? Did you wear an AWESOME outfit today? Are you getting closer to a fall race? Fun Labor Day plans?! TELL ME ABOUT IT!
68 days until the ING NYC MARATHON!!!

Love that pic of you guys. I'm glad you were able to get through those 15 miles, even when they felt ugly and tough. That makes it that much more accomplished at the end. I'm glad I have one week until VEGAS! I'm also glad I'm done with summer classes and that fall classes won't be quite as crazy.
