Well, I'm pleased to announce that so far this week, I have stayed on schedule, training-wise. Got both lunchtime runs in, and forced myself to go out tonight, even though I really really didn't want to. It felt like I was running pretty hard and fast, but only averaged 12:36/mile! Wow, that sucks. But it's better that I got the miles in, no matter how slow, than to not get the miles at all. (At least, I'm trying to convince myself of that.)

Thanks to everyone who gave such great encouragement on my last post! I was feeling really down and cranky. The positive words really helped. And Happy Festivus from Bad Ben. :)

Tomorrow's a rest day (thank god) and then I'm going out for 10 miles on Saturday. Really. I promise.

And Sunday - oh bloody Sunday - I'm supposed to do 15 miles on/around Wasson Peak, with 3000+ vertical feet of elevation. I don't know if I'm going to do it. It's not race-specific training, and J thinks I might be overdoing it. I'm a little scared of trying for 35 miles in a week, with such vertical elevation. Pemberton only gains 1600 total over the whole 31 miles! I don't know....

I'm also looking ahead to the following weekend - I'm planning on getting a 20 - 25 mile run in. I'm not sure where or how, but I've got to figure it out.

Man, I'm overwhelmed!
