the road goes on forever...

walked 2 miles with my parents. legs feel good, ill probably jog a few miles tomorrow.

I'm totally overloaded with school work since I slacked off while my parents were here, but of course instead of doing work I am trying to plan my future race schedule.  Here is what I am thinking as of right now. I think it will be best to do Boston in 2010, since I have my preliminary doctoral exams in mid-April this spring.

 
This Saturday: 3k jingle bell fun run with some friends

January 17: 15k/30k in Tallahassee (not sure which I will do)

February 1: Tallahassee Half Marathon

February 21: Flash 12k in Tallahassee 

March 28: Antelope Island 50k

There is a marathon I want to do in Albany, GA on March 7th, which is very tempting, but I don't know if I want to run one before the 50k or not. I could run it easy as a training run, but it may be hard to hold myself back. I'll have to talk to the experts about that one :)

Went out to do 3 miles but ended up running two and walking the last one in with a slight limp. Looks like my left leg wants to hold Saturday against me for a little bit :)

30 degrees this morning, felt great! 

Ran a Jingle Bell Run 3k with my friend Jill and a bunch of other people. Her goal was to do the entire thing without walking and she did, and at a pretty decent clip, I was really proud! For 12 dollars and a toy donation we got a long sleeve t-shirt, santa hat, light up necklace (the race was at night) and a jingle bell for our shoes. There were 3,000 runners and lots of little kids and dogs, so you can imagine how crazy it was. Then I ate dinner there at the winter festival and enjoyed a chili cheese dog, bloomin' onion, and funnel cake... all calorie free and delicious!!! Then we watched the parade and headed home, which included for me a 2 mile walk to my car. I figure my legs could use the walking to get out any lingering tweeks. It was a great night and really put me in the Christmas spirit!
