Workout: 5 miles

Time: 43 minutes

Weather: Hot and Humid

Alright, so, I figured I’d write this blog now before I fall asleep on the couch.  Yes, I know it’s only 7:45 at night.  But today’s run was hot and humid, I’m tired, and as odd as this sounds falling asleep on the couch is like a treat for me.  Guess that’s a good thing…gets me ready for marriage.  (Thank you, thank you, I’m here all week.)

In running news, I almost didn’t want to run today.  It’s hot out, and I’m kinda tired.  But then I sat down at my computer and looked up the ultramarathon training plan on runnersworld.com.  That led me to a trailer for a documentary on the Massanutten 100 miler.  I couldn’t find a way to embed the video, so here’s the link: http://www.ultrarunningmovie.com/ That got me motivated to get out there and run.  My favorite quote from the trailer was “There’s something about that second sunrise that gives you a little ray of hope.”  The guy says it as the sun is coming up the second day, and he seems happy.  I want that happiness…I can’t wait to start training.  So in any case, I got out there today and ran a pretty solid 5 miles.  The last mile was about 30 seconds slower than the others, but about a half mile of it is up a decently steep hill…so that’s that.

Anyway, probably take tomorrow off and then the 5K Saturday with my girlfriend and a 10 miler Sunday.  So do what you do best…Run on Friends!
