I miss Miami, but I love St. Mary's too

marathoner452The only problem I can see with a single room is that you have to make an effort to see anyone, as opposed to having a roommate in and out of the room to spend time with. Oh yeah, and having a roommate with an allergy so you can legally have AC is awfully nice too. But oh well. With all the reading I have to do this fall, it's kinda a relief to never have to wonder if my room'll be quiet. Because at St. Mary's, unlike in Miami, there is no 7th story of the library to go to watch the sun set behind the palm trees. :-( But I did get to go sailing on a whim yesterday, which I couldn't do in Miami, an hour from the water. And speaking of Miami, I talked to my friend Danielle from FIU this evening, and it turns out all the hurricane's bringing them is a little wind and rain, and a couple of days off school. I'm sure it's worse farther north, but I sure am glad that my friends in South Florida aren't getting pummelled.
If I'm rambling, that's probably because I got about 5 hours of sleep last night because my room was so warm and sticky (reference point made above about how nice AC is-I might have to break the rules down here on that one and hope no one notices) and ran 16 miles this morning. I waited to start my run until 9 hoping the humidity would calm down, then headed out to the trails behind Historic St. Mary's and Rosecroft Road, a loop I discovered last Wednesday with my running partner, Amy Werking. I used this run to see if there was any point in running the marathon in October-if I'm not ready, why set myself up for all that pain? Fortunately, the run went well, and I even got a little of a second wind near mile 14. I'm thinking 6+ tomorrow to bring me close to 40 for the week.
But first, I'm going to bed. And I'm not setting my alarm. If I don't wake up until noon tomorrow, so be it.
Goodnight.
