8-10 p.m. I had to work all day. All afternoon my legs felt like a million bucks, so I was very excited to go tonight. I wanted 15, and I really thought I did 15. Oh well. I ran with watermelon chomps, venus, bugs, cool breezes, Muse, Vampire Weekend, Radiohead and my thoughts. This week has been crazy busy. I'm very glad to get this one in. Next week's long run will be on the Ogden Marathon course. I'm going to meet friends at mile 7, and run them to the dam, then loop back around to my car. 4 weeks till UVM. At one time I thought I'd be able to give this race a shot, and now it looks more like a throwaway. My spring schedule isn't very conducive to dedicated hard training. I'm lucky to get the miles in, to say nothing of adequate sleep. I really need a sponsor. It's too bad for me that shoe companies and foundations don't sponsor mediocre, past their prime runners. |
