8 miles and weekly wrap-up
56 degrees | wind 13 MPH | 93% humidity
I lucked out today. Weather Channel's hourly forecast pretty much shows thunderstorms for all of today. I went outside to start my run, and it started sprinkling/misting. But that stopped pretty quickly, and held off until after I was back. Although come to think of it, maybe that isn't lucky. I haven't had a chance to run in the rain yet. As much as I hate it, running while soaked is a good training experience. And there is a decent chance that it'll be raining next Sunday, since it's been so rainy here lately.
Pretty boring run today. I didn't do a very good job planning my route so I had to go run down a side street to get the miles in. Since getting my Forerunner, I've put very little thought into where I'm going to run. Most days I decide on a general direction, and then just off and run around. Most times that works out fine. Other times, I misjudge my turnaround point or end up having to turn around early. Then I get to run around the block until I get the distance I need. (It's really fun when that happens when I've driven somewhere and I start doing laps around the parking lot). I sometimes need like 0.12 miles, so I'll just run to the end of the street and come back. I'm sure the neighbors think I'm a big weirdo.

Back in Minnesota again. I'm supposed to be getting ready to go to the store (we have no food), so this will be short. I ran in the woods again today, and it was fairly relaxing. I was kind of tired, since the sun wakes me up at 6AM here. (Dark curtains are on the shopping list). There were a lot of people out today, including a guy riding the stupidest motorized scooter/bike-type thing I've ever seen. I wish I could find a picture so you all could have a laugh, too. I'll look some more later, because words just cannot do justice in this case. I realized today that running along the river really sucks when you're thirsty. I don't like to carry water for runs under 2 hours, but I started wishing I had brought some around 9 miles. And of course the last 3 miles were right around the river, which made the thirst worse. I don't get why there aren't any water fountains along the bike path, at least the downtown section. I should call Parks & Rec and ask about that.

Another decent week of training - I'm feeling like a broken record. I can't believe I only have 3 more weeks of actual training, and then my taper starts. It seems so close, but yet the marathon still seems so far away. I'm anxious for it to get closer, as that means less time for me to obsess over all the prediction calculators out there.
Two small annoyances:
1) My refrigerator is freezing stuff. Super cold apples are one thing, but half-frozen cottage cheese is kind of ucky.
2) I apparently need to start bringing a towel or pad with me when I go to the lake, so that I'm not stretching on just the pavement. Aside from the pavement being dirty (I have a nice dirty stain/patch on the back of the shirt I wore yesterday), it's really uncomfortable to lay on my back due to my hip bones. And I noticed this morning that I'm actually bruised right where the bone is, which I think is due to stretching on the pavement. So bringing a towel or pad should help cushion my lower back. Stupid hips.

Another solid week of training, running-wise. The weight lifting amount is a little low, because I only lifted two days this week as opposed to the three days I've been striving for. But I definitely didn't feel up to it yesterday, and can't do it today. I'm not worried about missing the third day, though, since this was a week with a race. The race was the highlight of the week, and makes me feel really good about my training so far.
