Playing catch up with these posts yet again! One nice thing about November is that I am insanely busy with photoshoots (mostly families) – a nice “problem” that has made me continue to put off writing these last few posts. But it’s getting down to the wire, so here goes.

Week 14 was kind of exciting because this is the week we received our NYC Marathon confirmation forms containing our bib numbers, and wave and corral assignments.

A little behind on these posts, so I am playing catch up! I’ll try to post a few over the course of this next week.
Week 11 of training was my highest mileage in a long time: about 50 miles.
