Man, there are some days when running’s a pain, and other days, like for me this Saturday, when it’s the absolute greatest thing in the world. Then today strikes, and I’m in the throes of a week that’s been greater than anything in a long time.
For what it’s worth, I’m astounded that I haven’t blogged about Saturday’s run, as it was phenomenal. Good things can happen when sneakers are strapped on, dear readers. Good things. I managed to eak out 20 miles last week, and it didn’t feel like a thing.
This week is off to a kind of inauspicious start – I’m busy, busy, and my schedule’s thrown off kilter. So, I’ve had a three day break after the great week last week. But I think I can salvage it. I have, interstingly enough, done pushups and crunches two of the three days, though.
Interestingly enough, though, I’m far more invested in Melissa’s 20 miler this weekend in preparation for Hartford than I am in anything else going on in my life. I’m completely pumped for her.
Superb week. Melissa is getting ready and I can only imagine how cool it is to see her excelling like this. If Mrs. T ran a run of any distance I’d be fired up.
(pushups, crunches. they sound vaguely familiar….)
awesome about your run, and very cool about how excited you are for melissa. keep us posted…
It’s hard to write when you’re choking on endorphins.
Hey, that’s a pretty good line if I do say so myself. ;-)
how did you get up to 20 miles so quickly, good job anyway! high five to Melissa.
See? You are a real runner. :)
And so is Melissa!
