It's Friday of a long weekend and I got paid today, from both jobs!! Yay!! And I weighed in and am at 129.4 pounds too!! And this is a bad weigh in week, women out there should know what I mean...I started the year hovering around 136-137...and I haven't been able to hold under 135 in 6 years...
OK, so a quick, quick update than back to working hard for another 2 hours and then out for THREE WHOLE DAYS!!! From both jobs I might add, and I didn’t even ask off at B&N!! Whooo Hooo….
Last night went for my 8-10 planned 8-8:15, managed 8 for 8:21 pace, it was hot, it was humid, I’m fine running in the heat, I relish it as I hate the cold and won’t run in it, but I do need time to acclimate but the last few years spring has been a few nice days, then cold, maybe another nice day then blasting summer (temps are maybe going to hit 90s this weekend, and yes, I do live in MN!!!), it’s not so much the heat but the humidity that really gets ya…I was dripping sweat, so bad when I got home clothes went right in the machine and I was right in the shower BEFORE the stretching. Had to, it was so gross.
Anyway, I finally figured out the weekend. I’m going to St. Paul to night with my friend to get our race packets, then picking up tickets for the bands I’m going to see next weekend, then we are going to have spaghetti and watch a movie, to bed early and then up early to run the 30K…After which we are running a couple of errands then I’m going home to veg and then drinking the 75 or minutes to Mankato to meet friends for drinks and stay overnight at the one friends parents, come back up at some point on Sunday and probably spend at my happy place (see previous post for picture)…then I do have a grill out I’ll most likely go to, better print directions for that…Monday might be going to see X3 with some friends, but also need to get some cleaning and organizing done around the house…I get to do whatever I want and I LOVE that!!
Monday officially starts my taper too…Will try to post a race report at some point, this is just more a fun run anyway, last long run before the marathon, just get a shirt and water stops provided instead of having to wear the fuel belt!
