this was a consolation run. while 25,000 LA Marathoners were lining up at the start of their race, which I pulled out of last night, I put the running stuff on and ran along the Santa Monica/Venice beachfront in a crazy thick fog. It was top notch!

I agree with Barb. I lost my job last year (second time in three years) and the toll it takes can only be understood by the unemployed.

Sounds like you've got a lot going on in your life right now. I think you made the right decision on not running. You are probably the most experienced marathon runner on DM with many marathons under your belt. YOU know that it takes an incredible amount of mental toughness to get through the race. Your mental toughness is being used on something more important right now. Good luck on your job search. Keep us posted.

3 miles on the treadmill...then 500 more ab crunches. that makes 1000 this week. wanted to swim but there were 6 people in the pool with only 4 lanes. swimming delayed.

I hate sharing a lane in the pool. I can never fully concentrate. Pretty decent workout without the swimming though.
