We've all had them. The days and weeks that never end. The endless parade of sporting events, concerts, recitals, lessons, rehearsals, appointments, and on and on and on. Is it just me? Or is it May? When the school year comes to a close, so do all of the related activities. I had to set the alarm on my Treo to 30 minutes prior to every event or I would be in deep shit if the bell went off at my customary 5 minutes till and I had completely forgotten where I was supposed to be. It's not even 10:00 PM and my eyes are halfway closed. I'm fantasizing about being in bed as I write in my blog, but there are still lunches to be made, laundry to be put away, and two more children to put to bed before my fantasy becomes reality. Please, please, please let me get through this week and then it's 1 week until my real marathon.
Speaking of which, I ran 5 miles at Lunken Airfield today. I attempted to listen to Fresh Air. I gave two episodes a try, but I guess I don't care too much about the relationship between Kissinger and Nixon or who leaked info about WMD in Iraq. Call me uninformed, but I just couldn't get into it. However, EVERYBODY who reads this blog should immediately download last week's episode of This American Life called "Habeas Shmabeas." It's about "terrorist" prisoners at Guantanamo Bay prison and, as nick m. suggested in my V-Team blog, should be required listening for all citizens. Seriously, does anybody have any idea what we are doing there??? Anyway, as usual, This American Life made for captivating listening for 5 miles in 50 minutes. Not too shabby for a recovery run.

Wow-I can't believe that you're down to your last week.
I know how you feel. I'm so tired, but I really need to get that last load done. :)
I listen to both Fresh Air and This American Life. You have to wade through the Fresh Air episodes to find the real gems. This American Life is consistently excellent.
- got any taper madness yet?
