On the road again...
Facing a pretty busy day today, so I'm hoping for an easy recovery run later. For now, though, the totals from last week.
I write. I read. I run. One time, I ran a lot on my 50th birthday.

It's a quiet day when I'm replying to my own post. I thought surely we'd all be getting our runs in before the rains come.
A very slow, 4.7 mile recovery run. Very windy, but very relaxing.

Got in a easy 4 miler on the TM at lunch. Today is my kind of running weather, love the stormy clouds etc, puts a pep in my step, but I have stuff to do this evening
Running is stupid.

Amen to that!
Did intervals today for the first time in forever. 5x800 uphill, ran the downhills for recovery. Quite a workout.
I don't care much for it either. I'm thinking about taking up tiddlywinks as soon as I use up this one last pair of sneakers I bought to run in.

I got in 8 miles of stupid today.
Are we there yet?
The only thing more stupid than running is talking about running.

FTFY (and I am sorry you can't run - that's got to be hard)
I've been a serious grump since I haven't been able to really run in 3 weeks. Hopefully just one more week and I'll get to run. Nothing more depressing than logging 4 miles last month. Once I'm over this recent battle with ITBS I will keep my goals to HM distance and shorter. Like Richard I need someone to slap me around the next time I start talking about doing a marathon.

Amen to that Ashley! Some people can do marathons and come out fine, but that's a long way to run and those who run marathons should expect to face the reality they're likely to get injured. As far as I'm concerned, the half marathon is plenty far enough for me to feel like I've accomplished something.
Nice 1 hour run. Ready to eat.
Did my Saturday long run - 7 miles alone, then 6 with some friends. This was one of those runs that made me wonder if it's possible to go sub-2 in 3 weeks, let alone sub1:55 or better. I guess I have to just trust that I've done the work and that it will show in the race.
