Good morning!
5 miles in the snow. Meh.
I hope everyone has a great day!

As part of the 2024 London Marathon, I am fundraising for VICTA, a charity that helps blind and visually impaired children. My mentor while in law school, Jim K (a blind attorney), has been a huge inspiration and an example of courage and perseverance. Please consider donating.

Crazy wind and thunderstorms all night! Everyone slept in at my house. Ain't no way I'm gonna wake up early to run and get struck by lightning. Bringing the kid to school in a minute, running later on.

Ugh, I feel so tired and blah. It's like since I've got my 20 miler done, and almost 2 weeks to go , I've suddenly got this "fuck it, taper time" attitude or it is this week's aggravating weather, either it is cold or windy, or both.
I got in 10 miles this morning, literally had to drag myself out of bed and house.

Why thank you. That was a very nice thing to say, and I wish the same for you as well, friend.
Good morning! Thursday morning means a masters group swim, but you guys already knew that. 2350 yards done at my fastest avg pace yet, which is the second time this week I can say that (I'm still pretty damn slow). Good swim...I enjoyed it and felt good. Bummed that I had to stop and get to work or I'd have done another thousand yards. I got to talking with another guy there who is an avid runner and he wants to hook up for some training runs this spring and summer. Googlestalk indicates he is much faster than me when he's in top form, though he's currently coming back from a prolonged injury.
I've got a short run to do later, which will be my last before my HM Saturday.

Good morning.
Due to the mass hysteria that has engulfed this area (it's fucking snow people, not lava rain) I was up and out early to get my run in at work on the belt. It actually wasn't all that bad, slower than normal, but not bad. It's funny that by the time I get into a groove on that stupid thing, it's time to get off. lol
Got in another 6 mile run in Seattle this morning.
Random thoughts:
- I am defintely not a morning runner anymore
- It sucks to run somewhere you don't know, because a washroom emergency might mean going back home. First morning was kind of an emergency, and both days after that I didn't want to take any chance. Although boring, a treadmill has the advantage of being near a bathroom (well technically it doesn't need to be, but ya know...)
- I thought I would itch to run more because of this relative low mileage week, but on the contrary, it's even more difficult to motivate myself to go out. I really need to get back into training mode.
- I would definitely trade our Montreal weather for this Seattle weather. Where do I sign?

I don't like running when I'm travelling. I like running on my same boring, familiar route everyday. Unless I am staying next to a nice bike path.
And usually I don't feel great when I try to run...from not sleeping as well, or not eating normally, or being dehydrated from the travel.

Yep, I'm the same. Last summer, in Mt-Tremblant, it was really fun running because of the gorgeous bike paths, public bathroom cabins every 2-3 miles. Usually I like putting my brain on "off" when I'm running, and couldn't really do that here. I love my familiar routes too.
Another thing to be mindful of is that you're knee deep in marathon training shit, soon to be waste deep, and so on. Not to mention you've carried some pretty significant mileage the past eight months.

Hi Dailies.
No run for me today but I am going to push some weight at the gym and work on that core stuff. Yesterday I ran into someone I haven't seen in a few months and she said, "Have you been working out?" Believe me, that made my day.
Next Stop: New Orleans! Go earn some beads, D.

3.6 miles done in a local park after work yesterday and had a lot of fun testing out my "Flash" socks with capes....my fellow runners were laughing and giving me lots of comments about them, they were a big hit; and actually quite comfortable to run in too.
Today after work, packet pickup for my 5K on Saturday at San Antonio Sea World, followed by an easy run on the San Antonio Riverwalk. Nice today...sunny and nearly 70 degrees.
