So today I got my overtime $ from the West Virginia sojourn, which is great (51 hours!). But I must say I have been slacking with the running, and it all started with that same trip. Working 20 hour days isn’t exactly conducive to running, and alas once you get out of the habit in winter it can be hard to pick it back up. I did do seven miles Sunday, and another six on Tuesday, but just a short half-hour run yesterday and today. The beers have been sorta killing me. I do have the Frostbite 10-miler on Sunday, though, should be a good test of my fitness. We shall see…
Hey, I thought that we are running today at 4:15….I am more of a slacker than you at the moment….perhaps I will register on Sunday and jog it to get fit (I am so not running a spring marathon!)
Yeah, all this drinking during the work week will do it to you. Now the weekend is coming up and I’m thinking I need a night off.
I agree. It’s been a hedonistic couple of days. I’m doing the race as a bandit runner, hanging out in the back. I’m targeting late February or early March as my return to real racing. Good luck tomorrow; I’m off for another late night.
I had way too many beers last week. I am now regretting it as I seem to have also gained a bunch of weight from them 😉 Have fun getting back into the groove. Good job on the 10 miler!
[…] I did manage to hook up with Melissa for the six-mile Central Park loop on Friday (46:40, or 7:44 pace) and did another a bit slower today, so at least have been good in that respect. […]
