Saturday Morning

Good morning. But it's getting close to afternoon here! We slept until 8:00 am this morning! I had trouble going to sleep though so don't feel like I got any extra time in the sack. But feeling ok.

Lance Armstrong congratulated me this morning on my longest run ever! 3.27 miles. I was so surprised to hear someone talk to me! I have the voices turned off on the nike+ but these congratulatory messages must override that. I wanted to do 3.1 for sure but then I got lost in a song and before I knew it I was over 3.2. Gotta watch that. Don't want to get carried away here.

I think they moved the 5K from Friday night to Saturday because they didn't want to heat up that huge building for just 14 runners. And I don't blame them. I wouldn't either. They are doing a half marathon Saturday morning and have 64 signed up for that and a full marathon on Sunday morning and have 70 signed up for that. Then they are doing a 10K Sunday afternoon and have 18 signed up for that. This is a first time event so it will grow next year I'm sure. I'm hoping now that maybe Megan will take Angie's place but haven't heard that for sure yet.

I bet that was a surprise when you have all that visiting business turned off! I love the Nike+. It is so neat and motivating to get messages. Good for you on a long run - I love getting lost in a song. Makes it easy! And we are both already carried away. Too late for anything else! We're officially runners.

You know, "they" have always said that we can't make up for lost sleep. That shorting ourselves during the week with the idea that we can make up for it on the weekend does not work and we just end up sleep deprived. But now I've read that a recent study has show that you can make up for missed sleep. I love sleeping.....

Well, I understand too. I'm just sad Angie can't do it with you. Hopefully Megan can. I'm sure it will grow - I just can't imagine going around in a circle enough times to complete a half or full. Must be big to keep people from getting dizzy!
