Quick Update: The world according to Karen

Here's a quick update of things happening in and around ME

• Just returned from a whirwind trip to DC, Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, Conneticut, and Massachussetts.
  
  
• It seems that everyone is having babies. Trailmomma, Steve "in a speedo", Rebecca Dewire... My announcement: I am NOT having a baby.
  
  
• I am recovering from a horrible bout of pneumonia
  
  
• I have San Francisco Marathon in 6 weeks and my longest run this year has been 13 miles--3 months ago.
  
  
• I'm taking some hormones to help with hot flashes, chin hairs and other things. The hormones make me bloated and bitchy. My run times are a little slower too but i'm not sure if its the hormones, the recovering from pneumonia, the heat (92 degrees) or something else...
