Mommy Goes Crazy, Day 1 of Training

I'm all jazzed about the idea of running a half-marathon with Jenn in Philly, September 21. I felt horrible this morning because of too much drinking, too many cupcakes and junk food, and then we were woken up in the middle of the night by a FIRE in the house next door to us!! Smoke pouring out of the house, the smell of burnt plastic coming through our windows! We grabbed Clyde and ran outside and huddled with our tenant and our neighbors as 30 firefighters and 4 fire engines broke the glass windows and sprayed the water to extinguish the fire, right next to our bedroom window. We went back in, without any problem, about a half hour later. No one was hurt, it seems. Not sure if the house next door will sustain any water or fire damage, or how major it'll be. But suffice it to say, I didn't sleep well.

BUT, I went to the gym at lunch, and listening to very upbeat stuff on my ipod, and thinking of Jennifer running the NYC Marathon, which she did last year, I ran 3.1 miles!! Whoomp. There it is. I'm getting psyched.
