After yesterday's fiasco of a run, I felt really good afterwards. Probably just from ending up running few mile. I got to make sure to keep my pace tomorrow at marathon pace and not a strength run pace like I did last week. Trying to conserve a little bit of energy for the Rock and Roll half on Sunday. I'm not going to alter my week's training much (calls for 10 Saturday, and 8 Sunday, so I'll fix it to 8 Saturday and 13 Sunday). Probably talk more about it later, but I plan on hanging out with the 1:30 pace group for about half the race and then decide if I want to go for broke for the other half or just chill.
Speaking of Sunday, my building posted this sign in our elevator yesterday:
Last week Anne @ Anne Really Blogs did me the favor or passed me the virus of tagging me to do the ABCs of me.. I feel slightly dirty doing this (TWSS!), but here goes:
A. Attached or Single? Married since 2008 to Emma! (aka the boss!)
B. Best Friend? My wife is my best friend (Sorry Fabio , you don't text me enough). Now if you want a less obvious answer, you can put your name in runner up. You can buy my friendship with frozen custard and bad jokes.
C. Cake or pie? I LOVE CAKE! Carrot Cake, Ice cream cake! cake cake.
D. Day of choice? Saturday! Day of the week we actually attempt to do social things! Although I love Sundays for the long run.
E. Essential Item? Love my timex ironman stopwatch. I stopped using my nicer watch at work and just wear it all the time. Great to have as a backup for runs too.
F. Favorite color? Purple!
G. Gummy bears or worms? Worms!
