them apples

so i'm not sure what the REI/ Amazon combo would be besides the current combo, but i did a telephone interview for a position last friday for a position at REI's headquaters. lets pray i go the second round and ultimately to a new job. it would rock and be something i am much more interested in for the time being.
as for my running i've had a couple of crumby weeks. i got news shoes on tuesday, and then on saturday i received notice that the shoes i pro-dealed at REI (a perk of the job) were in and that i could pick them up the next day. i did and to my surprise the trail runners i ordered were in too. but...here is the kicker--asics messed up my order and sent my size 13 women's shoes.
i did, however, go for a run on saturday and if it were to be compared to an infant's weight, that would be some seriously unhealthy baby at 3.1 miles. i hope to pick it up some this week but it is so cold and i hate the cold. i am beginning to get worried about the 1/2 i have in march--but if i treat like a training run and keep the expectation limited to completing it--i should do fine. it is the north face race in may that i am looking at.
welcome to the marathon club--or rather the marathon hopefuls club!
