Ok, so apparently I am not the best at keeping up with a blog but I am doing way better than I thought. Last Thursday was a good run. I have become spoiled with the cool weather so I definitely felt the warmer temp. I did have a running buddy so that was nice. She joined me the first 4 miles, and I finished out the last 3 solo. It's funny how times flies when you talk while running. AND it's really nice to be able to talk and run, and not dry heave. Anywho, did not make it out running in Austin. Our hotel was right on the river so I saw the running path. Looked nice, and I saw a bunch of runner/walkers. However, the idea of sleeping in overwhelmed me especially since waking up at 2:45am, and not stopping at all on Friday. The festival was awesome, and the weather was perfect. I would love to go back and hang out/sightsee. Thinking ACL will be a great yearly adventure. I didn't get back to running until Tuesday, and I felt the 4 day break. I began to run just as the thunder rolled, and black clouds loomed in (oh crap). So, I thought let's see how fast I can do a mile, 8:35, good job. All I needed to do was 3. 1.46 mile blank screen on the garmin ( arg!). Of course. I knew where 2 miles was, and the storm was close so I called it a done deal. The next morning I woke up early and did 4 since it was massage day. I get one every couple of months, and it is worth every penny. Which brings me to today...and my sinuses. Now I don't suffer from sinus problems too often but I woke up this morning not feeling too hot. It is totally bearable but it feels like something wants to hit. I just drank a ton of water, took some ibuprofen, and got out there. Other than the constant drainage in my nose, I felt pretty good. I didn't have high hopes, so I'm proud that I did 5. I knew that mentally I had to get it done to do 10 on Sat. I'm doing a 10 mile race so I can see where I stand with this milage in that kind of atmosphere. Well, that's all I got. Watch out, Middendorf Manchac!
