So today was a "fartlek" run, which is basically a way to improve your speed. You run 2, 4, 6, 8, & 10 minute intervals, each progressively faster than the last. I rarely listen to music when I run, but for some reason I grabbed my Ipod on the way out the door. Right at the hardest part of my run (the 10 minute killer) and going uphill, my Ipod graciously gave me "Mrs. Robinson" by Simon and Garfunkel. I LOVE that song and it gave me the power to push--weird how just a song can do that, huh?

God Bless Mrs. Robinson!
Okay, so you have endulged me and you are about to read my blog--THANK YOU! I'm also raising money for the SAMFund (which helps young survivors of cancer get back on their feet). If we all donated just 10 bucks it would help so many people!! If you'd like to donate, please visit:
