Morning, friends--<br><br>
Congrats to <b>Lori</b> for completing the tri. I'll have to look up your RR in a minute. Also, congrats to <b>Doc</b> for not dying of alcohol poisoning, frostbite, overexposure to nudity or any other related ailment. Good luck <b>Beth</b> and <b>Myron</b> on the 5k tonight.<br><br>
Completed w8d1 today, but it was totally <b>west</b>. I only ran 1.95 miles in 28:00, giving me a 14:22 mm which is about 2 minutes/mile slower than last week. It took me a long time to get my breath back after that one. I also didn't stop sweating for about an hour afterward. Granted it's super hot and humid here, but it was really terrible. Good things: finished, didn't die, no skirt issues today, don't have to run again until Wed. when it should be cooler. I was thinking today, though, that I might be a little crazy attempting a 5k in 7 weeks. I mean, I've never run over 2.05 miles, and I have trouble breathing in high humidity, so a race in August sometimes doesn't make much sense. I know I'm just having a bad morning (and thanks for putting up w/me), and it will be better tomorrow, but I'm losing faith. I know I can't expect to be running marathons after only 7 weeks, but I've always been an impatient person. Waa Waa! (I'll stop now.)<br><br><b>QOD</b>: Ten years ago I had just finished college and I was heading to AZ for a year of AmeriCorps service. I had no idea when kind of job I wanted, but I was sure that I would be married w/kids by 27. Well, I haven't yet married, I don't want kids, and I'm currently preparing to go on the academic job market and finish my dissertation. Never would have expected that, and I feel like I'm starting my life a little late, but I'm exhilarated by new adventures ahead!<br><br>
Good runs to all today!
