After I ran my mile repeats I came home, had dinner, showered and then met up with some runners at the coffee shop cause I knew they'd be showing up then. They were all like, "Where the hell were you?" and I said that I had done four one mile repeats an hour earlier than they had. They looked at me in my jeans and t-shirt, all fresh smelling while they were still sweaty and in their running gear and didn't believe me. Plus? They had only done three one mile repeats.
So everyone, Michael included, is ribbing me and I'm exclaiming that surely I did do the repeats and then another runner comes in, grabs a coffee, sits down next to me and says.... "I saw you running along Keith".
With a look of triumph I glower at the naysayers. Exultant I say, "See!".
Then one guy says, "Well that's only proof that you were running. It doesn't prove you ran four miles."
And then someone else said, "How much is she paying you?" to the guy that had seen me.
And I told them my 7:36 story and they figured I had simply forgotten to set and reset my watch each time which I didn't do. I totally set my watch.
Okay, but before I went for coffee I grabbed this Scratch 'n Win on which I had won $4 like a year ago and I took it in and got two $2 Scratches and won $3 on each of them. That's a profit of 50%! Take that, Wall Street.

Girl you are on a roll.... a new job, the running the gambling, what's next? You have had a better week than me.
World peace. Yep, that's next. ;)
Actually, a bit more detail on the training regime would be interesting.
What are these mile repeats you speak of? Is it just running for a mile then running for another mile?
Yeah. Mile repeats are just that: you run a mile and time yourself and then walk a block to cool down and then run it again (trying to keep the same pace, which should be your marathon race pace).
Then there are tempo runs (should be your 5k race pace - fast, in other words) and hills (self explanatory) and long slow days (LSD) which are the long runs on Sunday mornings.
Plus cross training (bike, weights, yoga).
TMI, right??
I have no life.
