23w1d

OK, so that's twice this week now that I cannot read and have been a week off. I got an e-mail a week or so ago about a conference call training thing I had to do. It was scheduled for Wednesday between 11 and 12, which made me grouchy because I go to lunch around 11. So Wednesday morning, I packed a lunch to take so that I could eat while on the phone (and then leave work early since I wouldn't have technically had a lunch that day). At 10:58 I logged into the website and then called in. Surprisingly, the "host" hadn't arrived. Then I noticed something kind of important: the training was scheduled for Nov 14, not Nov 7. Oops.

And I just found out from Jeff that despite reading about the Ryan Shay run on his page and on Complete Running (and maybe a few other places) I totally missed the Nov 17 part. I saw Saturday and just assumed it meant this Saturday. I would blame "pregnancy brain" but unfortunately I think this type of error is probably not really out of the ordinary for me. I can be very detail-oriented sometimes, but I can also be a total scatter brain.

Anyway, saving my "longer" run of the week for the day turned out to be an awesome decision. Whereas yesterday it was in the 30s (20s with windchill) and windy, today it is in the 50s, sunny and not very windy. I decided to go out to the lake and run from there because I am pretty tired of running in my neighborhood. I haven't been out there in forever, either. I had an okay run, but I'm now having groin issues (or Crotch Pain of Doom - CPD - as they call it on one of my boards). It wasn't too terrible while running, but it's bothering me a lot post-run. It's always something. I ran for an hour; the last time I ran for over an hour was June 7 so it's been quite a long time. I was at 5.58 miles when I stopped and I was tempted to go for an even 6 miles. But I decided hitting an hour was good enough, especially since I was already at my car. Maybe next week if the CPD doesn't get any worse.
