how did 5 turn into 7?

Last night I ended up NOT running with NikeTown and not running 5 miles but instead 7. I also didn't run with my IPOD which, honestly, is a feat in and of itself. I left from the office and ran through the park and up to NYRR to get my shirt and chip for this Sunday. My best discovery of the night is that my fleecy top layer has a HUGE pocket in the sleeve- it's honestly amazing. It had my key card to get into the building, my chip, my number folded up, a gel pack, tissues. HUGE and you didnt notice it! The fact that the pocket was my number one amazement last night is lame- but hey that's the life of running.

Tonight I have to go to yoga. Have to. No excuses. (I guarantee you I will find one- sigh!!!)
This wk wasnt terrible: Monday-off, Tuesday- Run, Wednesday- weights, Thursday- Run, Friday-Yoga, Sat-off, Sunday- Run.

Short Run- nervous for tonight

So Tuesday night I ended up only having time for 3 miles. And it was on the shitty treadmills. AND it sucked. My stomach was terrible and my shins started acting up. I guess 20 miles is where my shins split. tee hee.

Tonight I am going to try NikeTown Running. 6:30. Sigh I am super nervous, not 100% sure why though. What the fuck do I care?

I want to run a 6 mile loop but we will see. If I only do 5 I will live. Tomorrow is supposed to be like 45 degrees so I have to run. It'll just be too nice not to!!

Sunday is the half. I am not scared of the distance but rather of the time. I want to improve on Octobers time but I can't imagine that I will- disapointing.

but so what- im still a rockstaaaaaaaar

I'm up to over 20 miles a week. Getting there. This week the goal is 23 miles of which 13 will be in the Manhattan half marathon. I think Thursday I will run a loop of Central Park and then tonight I will run an easy 4. I think that will work. Perhaps tomorrow I will run the CP loop. We'll see. Depends on temps.

I ran hills last week. Which were deathly and awful. I'm supposed to run them again this week but am skipping the workout tonight in favor of eating out with my friends. I never choose to not run, so one time with a makeup session should be OK.

102 more days. Thats just so crazy!

I am running out of songs! HELP!
