run, run, run!
wow! what a weekend of running. it was friday and i hadn't run since new year's day where i put down a 9.33 miler so i knew i needed to put down some serious miles this weekend to keep up with my challenges. what do ya know? i leave work on friday and it's raining cats and dogs. grrr...not again. i had just set up a new challenge to run 21 miles by sunday night. i HAD to run on friday. so the rain finally let up somewhat by 11PM so i headed out into the light rain/heavy drizzle with a full belly. we had huge burgers and fries for dinner at like 8 o'clock. i was still stuffed. but ya gotta do what ya gotta do to rack up them miles. so i ended up with a modest 5.63 miles. that would be enough to make the rest of the weekend manageable.
on saturday the sun actually came out! so i took advantage of that since i usually run in the dark. i ended up with 9.02 miles so just another six and half on sunday. well, i got up late today and the rain moved in. i totally wasn't gonna run tonight but i saw that pretty much everyone else in my challenge completed their 21+ miles so i HAD to do it. luckily, the rains let up a little tonight so i head out into the drizzle once again. i felt good tonight and ended up with 7.29 fast miles. so that puts me at 31.28 for the week!
i also just signed up for my first half-marathon! april 28th down in lousiville, kentucky (said in my best southern accent). this is one of the premier marathons/halfs in the country! we get to do about a mile on the infield of churchill downs! now how cool is that! the marathon is held a week before the kentucky derby and it's actually a two week festival down there. it should be cool!
as you can see i posted some of the races i'm planning on doing this year. it's modest, but hey, i'm not really a racer boy either. i just hope to stay healthy this year and do my best. and no, i will not be racing in any mudfests this year either. if it's raining or the course is muddy, i'm out!
ugh! back to work tomorrow. i had gotten used to this not working stuff...
