Another day in the life of...I was going to be creative and all, but oh well. It's been a long week, thanks to being sick and my watershed decision not to run a marathon this year. Being sick kept me from running or wanting to do much of anything; deciding to drop the marathon was a tough decision because marathons are a lot of what I define myself by. Heck, my AIM screenname and my LJ username are marathoner452. In the end I'm hoping it was the right decision-I'm just not going to be ready to run a quality marathon this year. Too much heat and humidity and sleeping in and family committments. No, I'll definately be much more successful with the half, but that still doesn't keep me from questioning my decision...what if?
So I was calling people this afternoon 'cause classes are done for the week and I had no immediate motivation to study. I realized that 3 of the 4 people I called were from Miami. Either I need to get more involved on campus or I just don't call my friends on campus that much because they're here already. I see most of them every day. Plus, we're only 3 weeks into the semester...I guess I have to cut myself some slack.
Tommorow is the Petruccelli 5k, and next weekend brings the Bachman Valley 1/2 marathon. Wish me luck and keep your fingers crossed that the hurricane passes us by.

First of all-dang it, why do races all have to be so early? I'm not a morning person, never have been. We need more races like the WRRC summer series that started at 7 pm and the Carnaval 8k I ran in Miami that started at 7:30. Enough with the 8 am start times-I need my sleep!
Also, my legs are unbelievably stiff right now. I can feel some shinsplints coming on, and that worries me because I still have a lot of training to do before the Baltimore 1/2 if I want to stay at my peak. I guess I'll just have to play things by ear, and hope I wake up tomorrow with my legs feeling fine.
Okay, time for bed. Only runners on a college campus go to bed this early, but hey, I'm used to it.
