And then...
...I ran 18m on Sunday with Tara and it was okay. I whimpered a bit at the end. I wanted to cry. We finished strong.
...I realized that the odd twingey-bit in my right leg was not going away and was ITB pain so I dusted off my foam roller. (I didn't dust off the ground, though, so it was still pretty nasty and there was dog hair everywhere.) Also, I whimpered a bit at the end. I wanted to cry. I may have cried.
...I registered for a half marathon in a month. There is a Dairy Queen in that town. And a castle nearby. And two more seats in our zipcar if anyone else wants in.
...I'm contemplating buying a bib for Marine Corps. I've actually been contemplating this for weeks, but the transfer period ends Friday and so now we're down to the wire and I have to decide what I'm going to do.
...I realized I have to take the next few days off from blogging so I can, you know, do things like run and work and have non-running fun. I'll be back - Monday?
Any thoughts or advice on any of these points?

I love Dairy Queen. Is it the Amish race?
ReplyDeleteNo, it's a local(ish) race north of the city - a "Fall Foliage" themed race. Although at this pace, it will still be summer whether then! Yuck.
ReplyDeleteGet the MCM bib!!!!!
ReplyDeleteSuper jealous. That race has an awesome logo and I'm sure the medal will rock. I would love to take one of those seats, but I will be apple picking for the first time in my life (b/c you needed to know that. ha)
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I'm assuming you will not be partaking on the RnR Brooklyn the day before?
If you do decide to do the Marine Corps, I'll be rocking the 10K! You should do it.
I've emailed someone about a bib... now, to wait until I hear back :)
ReplyDeleteAnd no RnR Brooklyn for me. So expensive! Plus Brooklyn is, like, 90 minuts away from Harlem - easier to go to Westchester, ironically! Oh, too bad you can't join us!
Choosing a race based on whether the town has a Dairy Queen is pure genius! Blizzards rock my world!
ReplyDeleteYea, it's about the same distance as Central Park for me, yet it's also in Brooklyn. Whatev.
ReplyDeleteHave fun for me!
Dairy Queen + a castle? I would totally be in for that trip if it was, you know, a bit more local.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your weekend! I'd say I'll miss you, but I'm barely keeping up with blogs, etc these days, so I probably wouldn't have noticed if you hadn't said anything.
I mean, um, I'll be desperately waiting at my computer until you post again! Yes! That's it! You cannot abandon your adoring public like this!
You know how I feel about the MCM. DO IT. NOW. It'll be worth it, trust me.
