First Half of the Year

No, it's not the first half of the year because it is June.  It's the first half marathon distance that I've done this year.  I'm a little wiped out.  I'm sure it'll get easier as the summer goes on but the last four miles today were tough.  I ended up walking a little more than I wanted to, but that's okay there's no place to go but up.  At least I kept my pace under 12:00"/mile.  I guess that's something to hang my hat on.

I went from my house down Bethel to 315, went through the cut in the fence, across the Broadmeadows bridge and over to High St.  From there I went south to North Broadway and back to the trail.  I went back through the cut in the fence and went home.  I was greeted with Waffles and sausage when I walked through the door.  Stoked!  Thanks Laela!

5:46PM edit:  I forgot how much the Sunday morning looong run saps me of energy.  I'm a complete waste for the rest of the day. Boo.

Chairman of the Bored

I found myself with four hours to kill today. I was extremely bored but didn't feel like running so I instead knocked out 20 miles a bicycle. I had a nice relaxing time and made it home before the girls got there from the library.

Late Night

Had a super busy Wednesday night because I went to the 8th grade graduation for my kid's school so I almost missed my run.  I felt like it was going to be more of a hassle to change the schedule that to pound out a quick two miles.  So I left the house at 11:00 and I did my required two miles in 18'25"! Maybe there's something to this later running.  Let's see how quickly I can fall asleep.

sunday..Sunday..SUNDAY!!!

Ahh, a gorgeous spring Sunday.  I slept in until 9:00 this morning.  That sounds great but I really did myself a disservice.  I ended up having a headache because I was three hours late for my daily caffine dosage.  In other fail news, I need to be better about eyballing the map.  I inadvertently added almost two mile to my long run today.  I was only supposed to do 10 miles but ended up doing 11.7.  

In news of teh win:  I may not be fast but I can go the distance.  This week concluded a distance challenge with a friend of mine. Although she won our speed challenge, I crushed her in our distance challenge.  It's the typical tortoise and the hare scenario.  Better luck next time.

GOOooooaaaallllll!

Got up at 5:00 this morning and I completed my first mileage goal five days early!
