Dear Tom

I took a break from training to have my tubes tied.  I didn't mention it before because, I thought you would understand.  And honestly I didn't expect to take too long to reco ver-- as I didn't have the traditional cut and burn.  still, I may be a budding athelete, however, I'm a human girl, and things needed to be given time to heal.  I plan to run today, get back on track--and since I'm less distracted by the possibility of a mid life pregnancy, I hope to run better.  Not that fear of a baby was so overwhelming that I couldn't run--actually, come to think of it, it didn't bother my pace at all.

I just wanted you to know that I didn't give up Tom.  I am still running.
