Graduation day for Megan!! I'm so proud of my daughter. She did a great job with her valedictorian speech. Lots of family in town, and lots of work to do -- not much time for running. Going to try to get in a long run early Monday morning.

Decided to camp out in the back yard with the boys Sunday night...didn't get a whole lot of sleep. But, by the time I woke up, it was already 8AM, and 80 degrees. Decided to take another rest day.

Marc...I might get in trouble for saying this....but sometimes there are more important things than running...Like camping out in the backyard with your boys. That sounds totally fun!!! I love sleeping outside!

Congrats to your daughter.
