I have taken slackerability to a new level. In fact, I have reached the highest plane.<br><br>
I haven't run in 2 weeks but I have been walked 3 times a week. There is no reason for my slackalation... just the true slacker in me bubbling to the surface. (I have been reading A LOT. I like books.)<br><br>
My plan (loosely)<br><br>
Monday: walk 2.9 miles: <b>completed</b><br>
Tuesday: might run 4-5 miles at 0530 if I get my ever-expanding tookus out of the oh-so-warm bed in the morning. <b>Failure to comply. Nothing.</b><br>
Wednesday: 0530 run; 0715 walk: <b>4 miles run and 2.9 miles walked.*</b><br>
Thursday: 0530: run: <b>Nothing. Hopes are fading. I am the KR flaneur.</b><br>
Friday: walk no run: <b>2.9 miles walked with Veta et al.</b><br>
Saturday: Run for the Brain 5K: <b>Victory is mine! 26:1x<img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/mad.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Mad">x</b><br>
Sunday: kayak (weather permitting)<br><br>
Thanks for keeping us honest, oh fair lady of sans souci-ness!<br><i><b>*</b>It's funny, when your underpants begin to feel too tight, it is quite motivating.</i>
