I just realized it’s been 2 weeks since I posted anything (other than brief comments) on TAS. The sad thing is I don’t exactly remember what I’ve been up to the last 2 weeks! Ok, lying, just been busy…Banana can’t wait to see you - I need a break!
Let’s see…to summarize my runs…. Well, the good thing is that I haven’t missed any - yet. Week #12 was nothing but tough, difficult, tiresome, tedious runs on zero energy. Last weekend’s 12 miler was the pits! Punxsk8erdude had an out-of-town soccer game (in Temple, TX!) so I think I was still tired from the trip the next day when I ran the 12 miler. I did it, but it wasn’t good - one of my worse runs yet.
This weekend livened up a bit…in more ways than I needed. The week started with company from out of town and it pretty much ended with more company from out of town. I didn’t have any time off from work, so between work, taking dad to his Dr.’s appointments, entertaining, and running, well, like I mentioned earlier…I was busy. Also, it was Fiesta week…we toned it down a bit by only attending a minimum number of events this year, but it was still hectic none-the-less. I’m actually quite surprised I didn’t miss any runs this week; however, Punxsk8erdude and I did miss our annual Fiesta Fandango Fun Run last night - I was just too tired and today’s 18 miler had been looming in my head all week long.
So here we are today, 18 miles later at the end of week #13. Overall a good run and Mother Nature actually got it half right. The temperatures were fabulous (in the 60’s all day - can you belive it?!?); however, instead of the promised rain I got gusts of wind (18 -20 mph! - ugh!) throughout the ENTIRE run! It was tough - I hear you Lumpy!!!
Woohoo! One more day!
