It was a bad weekend for running. I didn't get any of the 25 miles I wanted to run between Friday and Saturday. And I'll probably get some feedback saying that its alright we need days off sometimes. Hogwash. Utah Valley is less than a month away. These last weeks before the taper need to be high miles and I screwed up. I was busy but I still could have fit them in. The wind abolished my resolve each morning and then there wasn't a convenient time after that. Oh well, what's done is done. Now for this week. Today I did 10 down into Saratoga Springs. The moon sure is bright. Apparently it is brighter than usual because it is closer than usual. Anyway. It was COLD this morning. What is the deal? As for the run, I enjoyed it but only at a leisurely pace. I tried to push harder but it took the fun out.  I don't often see runners but someone went FLYING by this morning.  He went by as if I was standing still.  I was humbled.

Altra Instinct Miles: 10.00

i will refrain from any hogwash. i'm sorry you didn't get the mileage you wanted over the weekend. you did start this week off on the right foot though. just keep at it -- not much longer to UVM. you can do it!

Thanks allie. Your encouragement always means a lot.

I know what you mean about the miles...but, I'll buy into the hogwash as well :) I think you just need some good running buddies :) Wind always deters me from getting out early and doing long runs!!
