Good God, I'm behind on my blogging. <Insert humorous/pithy/fascinating excuse as to why I'm such a crappy blogger here.> My training suffered, too. I had two incredibly busy work weeks that really messed with my energy level/drive to run after getting home from work. I did what I could.

So yeah, not my most stellar week, but what the hell. The following week is worse (as I knew it would be due to my work schedule.)
But.....
And it's a BIG butt.... (Oh wait, we're not talking about MY butt here, right? "But" = a coordinating conjunction.... I digress.....)
