Ya I suck at updating this, I know. Sue me. I'm at home now, and not wasting time on my computer NEARLY as much as I do when I'm at school. So I just keep forgetting to do this.
Anyway, running in the village has been good. Flat, full of traffic, hot, but good. It is hard to find long routes around here, because I don't have a really large area where it is safe to run. So basically I run around the perimeter of town, or zig zag back and forth across it. I think that as summer wears on, I will have to go downtown and run along the lake to get my longer runs in, because I can only run back and forth down Lake street so many times.
7 days until the half marathon. Seriously, when we started this whole training thing May 30 seemed like it was so far in the future, but time flies when you're getting disgusting blisters! Lets hope I'm ready. Last week was by far the most miles I have put in:
Sunday: 10
Monday: rest
Tuesday: 6
Wednesday: 8
Thursday: 6
Friday: rest
Saturday: 6
So this week I get to taper! And eat a lot. And ice various parts of my body. And maybe try that whole stretching thing again, I kind of fell off the wagon on that one. My two goals were to run a marathon and touch my toes, and right now the marathon seems a whole lot easier.
As for next weekend, we finally have plans for getting to/staying in Madison. My family is going to head up Saturday afternoon, meet up with Alyssa and her mom, check out the Expo and pick up our stuff, eat a lot, and then eat more, and then sleep because runners are crazy people and like to start physical activity WAY too early in the morning. If anyone is going to be in Madison running or cheering or just because you live there, hit us up! We would love to see you (and give you our water bottles to hold along the course...).
Until next time (which won't be another month, promise :))
