Slow and easy medium-length run. 6:18 am, 70°F, 55% humidity, wind 2 SW, sunny. Well, I finally got out and ran today after doing other things in the morning all week since Monday. Michelle and Carly both wanted to run, but Michelle needed to go early because she had another commitment in the morning and Carly doesn't like to go too early. So I ran with Michelle first for a little over 4 miles, and then we stopped at Carly's house and she joined up with us. The three of us ran together for a couple of miles and then Michelle had to go home and Carly and I did the rest together. I'm so glad these two are still running. I don't think I would have gotten out this morning if it hadn't been for them. I would have gotten up and read instead. I'm addicted to reading lately. Right now I'm reading Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand. It is a really good book. I highly recommend it. My oldest son comes home from his summer internship this afternoon. He'll be home for about 3 or 4 days and then it's back up to Greeley for him to get set being an RA before school starts. It will be nice to have him home for a few days. I'm registered to run the Georgetown to Idaho Springs Half Marathon two weeks from today. I am not ready for it. I'm tempted to drop out, but I've already paid for it and I'm not getting that money back whether I run it or not, so I'll probably go run it. But I think I'll just treat it as an easy long run. I'm not in shape right now to get a good time and I don't want to kill myself for a lousy time, so I'll just run easy and try to enjoy the scenery.
