At long last...

I will FINALLY be done coaching crew on Wednesday, WHICH MEANS- I can finally start working out again. I've had 14-15 hr. days of work for the last 2 1/2 months and had no will or energy to move, let alone run for miles and miles. So, time to kick it into overdrive (after my vacation) and hit the pavement... just in time for the heat and humidity? Ick. :)

PS: What's the deal on our next running rendevouz? Boilermaker?

So I just heard a fantastic song called "Opportunity" by Pete Murray. I guess songs are usually fantastic when you can relate to them - today I felt like this guy was singing to me. Just wanted to share. Happy thursday, friends.

Finals

I think that optimally, my running would increase during finals time as an attempt to relieve stress, have some time for me, & to feel good. Instead, finals this year are coupled with subbing & coaching, making for a really tired version of myself with minimal running. I did get some cross training in last week, but I think only one run? Yuck.
I'm really ready for papers, projects, & exams to be over Thursday night, but in the meantime I'm going to make sure I make some time each day for some running--even just short 3 mile runs if needbe. Speaking of 3 mile runs, I think that as of June 1st, I'll be shuffling 3 mile runs out of my deck & a quick run will be 5 miles. Official marathon training starts June 8th for me, which is an interesting dichotomy of terror & excitement.
We're all on for the Boilermaker in July, right? And what are everyone's thoughts on the Freihofer's 5k June 5th?
Well ladies, happy running! I hope everyone's finding some time to get outside & hit the pavement!
