You Rang?
Zelanie, have a great eight-miler. I'm annoyed. I applied for entry to the B.A.A. Half this morning, as soon as registration opened. Apparently, by the time I finished, 10:04 a.m., the 3,000 first-come-first-served slots had been filled. (Registration opened at 10:00 a.m..) So, I'm part of the lottery for the remaining slots. Yet, my card has already been charged the $75.00 fee. I e-mailed the B.A.A., asking if I'll receive a refund , if my name isn't drawn.

Generally speaking, when they take the money, you've got a bib. Best of luck in the lottery.

There can be too much of a good thing. Tomorrow morning, I'm driving down the hill (about 3 miles) and running on the relatively flat patch of road. It comes with the added bonus of a 3' shoulder and snow poles to weave.
I am not tired of running, actually, I would love to go out there and I feel great and ready for it. But it's been a long Summer and I am tired of sweating and being nauseous and dizzy and wheezy all the time. And I'm also tired of running on a TM that bores me to death. Makes more sense? This Summer has been too fucking long. At least cycling in 95-100F does not feel as bad as running in that shit.

I meant mentally...and your post pretty much agrees with me.
Well, doh. I am not tired of training. Only tired of this fucking weather. Ha.
I am planning to take a week long break before this year is up. I swear, it will only be a week this time!

I did not say you were tired of training, I said mentally you (not you specifically but runners in general) get tired of "this shit", meaning everything surrounding it.
You basically said the same thing, is it killing you to agree with me. lol
You know how to take a break that's for sure! lol

I said I agreed, pffftttt.
Oops. i ran out of wine and must have missed that line while bitchin' up a storm in this joint. lol
1695.7 miles here. I don't care if I finish the year under 2,000, or over 3,000 miles, I just want that one good race in the fall!
Congratulations, Damaris!

Somebody earlier said your log has to be public for it to count.
You are in a different league anyway....

Word. Although I think she said she keeps only a written journal rather than the one here.

The thing for me about running 6 days again is that I can be at race weight in the wink of an eye.
