5 Miles

Getting up today was a battle. It took much cajoling! And I really was none too interested in running, truth be told. But I figured I DID get up, so why waste it? The days have been very hot, but this morning was really nice. I saw all kinds of other runners today! I did 5 miles and it was very enjoyable. Good weather, good book to listen to. I'm on a new book! Another fantasy series. Yesterday I found myself thinking of my people and realized that I'm finally into the story. I think the transition was really hard because I liked the last one so much! I ran that giant hill at work again today. Really challenging. It has been awhile, so that is part of it. But it was also really hot and that makes it hard. My calendar reminder told me that I only have to run three miles tomorrow! Exciting - I'm on the taper! I might do more, though. I feel really worried about the long distances I've put in. I'm a little excited to get this race done. I'm super excited to go and do it but I'm also excited to have more time on my hands!

Sounds like a good day and hope you got some sleep. See by your email that you were up half the night. Yes, it takes so much time to get ready for these things.

I'm having second thoughts about doing the Whistlestop. Angie isn't doing it. No time to train. She would walk the 5K with Mom but that seems like a lot of money and time to spend just for a walk. The half would be $84 for me and the walk would be $50 for each of them including the spaghetti feed the night before. Plus gas and snacks. I figure it would cost me $250 and not sure I want to spend that. Still thinking about it but might just forget it.

No run here this morning. Slept too late!

Sleeping in is good! I was thinking no might, but I actually woke up pre-alarm. Irritating!

I am sorry to hear about the half, but i totally understand. That's a heck of a lot of money. And if you aren't feeling it, well, I understand.

Welcome home!
