Good morning!

I ran 6.6 on another beautiful morning.  Low 50s and dry makes baby Jesus smile.  I'm workfree today, so I'll brew 5 gallons of goodness and enjoy it.

Have a kickass day folks!

I ran 5 windy, rainy miles that I sure hope are not a prelude to Sunday.  I can't predict my finishing time, but I can predict my placement: seventh OA, fourth AG. 

In other news, I don't like registering for races too early because I can't rely on my body to hold itself together, so I was waiting until today to register for a couple whose prices increase tomorrow -- one is a flat, fast 5K that I had to DNS last year, and the other is the Turkey Trot that I also had to DNS last year.  Well.  The 5K was sold out.  So, like any reasonably sane person, I registered for the half instead, because why wouldn't I want to be out $60 instead of $40?!

But it is a flat fall half, which I initially nixed as a marathon indicator because I felt like it might be too close to NYCM, and how I ended up registered for a race that is so not like me.  If I miss my goal this weekend because of the weather (vs. missing because I suck), I might be tempted to try again.  I just need my body to hold itself together!!

Bluerun, the half is a better deal. $4.58 per mile as opposed to $12.90 per mile for the 5k.

Ha, I know -- it does seem insane that a 5K is $40 and the half is $60.  But I want a 5K PR (I never seem to run 5Ks in anything but terribly hot and humid conditions), and that wouldn't put my body through quite as much stress!  And if I really cared about such things -- I could place in this 5K, but not the half.  All a moot point, though.

 

So start one

No because then I have to keep it updated and fts.

Boom shakka lakka!  It was dark and windy for my early morning 4 mile jog and I had to break out the long sleeves for the first time this season.  HOORAY!!  ALL the deer were out this morning.  I saw nine of them.

 

Speaking of the belt, I've managed to go almost three months since my last treadmill session, though that streak is certainly closer to its end than its beginning.

Last winter wasn't bad at all. Another one of them shits would be wonderful.

A 5k that sells out? They have those?
