Remiss in posting, but (mostly) not in running ...

Last time I posted, I was talking about my training plan.

Since that post I had two nasty stomach bugs and a college reunion weekend. (I -- rather optimistically -- signed up to run the alumni 5k that reunion weekend, but at 8:30a.m. I was nowhere near the cross country trails. I was dragging myself out of bed and down to the Comfort Inn complimentary breakfast after a late night.)

Thankfully, I am running the 10K, not the marathon, so even with a lot of downtime, it has not been too hard to get back on track. I did about 10K last Sunday, to give myself confidence that I can do it again on race day. Not only did I do it, but I achieved my goal -- 6.2 miles in under an hour! 59:56, to be exact. That felt great and now I am not so worried about race day. Even if I don't match my time, I will surely finish.

I did 4 miles today, pretty slowly since I was pushing my son in the stroller. Tomorrow I'll do about 5 without him, take a couple short runs early in the week, then rest up. I can't believe race day is almost here!
