Short on money. Long on time.

MT update:
We ran today. I didn't die! Neither did my co-trainers!

Other news:
Just when I was breaking down and sobbing to Jonathan about how I should have just gotten a job and no one is hiring and it'stheendoftheworld abandoning all hope, Jonathan got calls from two of the places where he interviewed the week before last and they're both bringing him in for second interviews this week. I just hope that after these second interviews, they don't do the whole "we'll contact you within two weeks" business, because that's a lot of waiting. I mean, we've waited two weeks since the first interviews. We've waited for.ev.er for a job... and I'm kinda over waiting. Woe, woe, woe.

Other other news:
We picnicked at the Duke Gardens on Saturday night with some of our favorite people. Linus enjoyed people-watching and duck-watching, and the rest of us enjoyed Linus-watching. I added a couple of pictures to flickr. Enjoy!

We also tended to the lawn this evening. The mosquitoes in the area should all be well-fed now.

And that's all that's news for us.

On Tuesday and Thursday mornings, we have shorter workouts. We ran about 4 miles on Tuesday morning this week. This Saturday will be our longest run yet, at 10 miles. Saturdays are always the "long run" days since long runs can take hours :)

We'll increase the distance slowly until mid-October and then we'll start to taper to recover and be ready for the marathon.
