------------------------------------------------------
Stress--I have been working on stress reduction, and it seems to be working ok. Work is under control a lot more. I think being gone from work has really helped me with this, weirdly enough. Taking deep breaths helps. Stretching, slow running, and taking control of little things has helped too.

Overall training--Training has not been going well, mostly because I've been lazy, unmotivated, slacking, and bothered. But I feel a lot better. I did not want to train for this marathon. It was hot, I had a ton of work stuff going on, a lot of life changes happened, and the timing of this wasn't good. But the marathon is over, so I feel so much better now.

Focus--I still like running full and half marathons, but I want to focus on shorter distances. I would like to run a sub-20 5K before the end of Feb 2010. I think I am moving to Georgia in Nov, and Colin will follow in Feb. And then I can start training for Boston in Georgia.
