Best way to get a sleep in? Don't set your alarm! I was supposed to wake up at 4:35, but I didn't set my alarm aparently after choosing my wake up time last night, because MacK texted me to see where the heck I was, and that woke me up. I am sure I was only half coherent. It takes a true friend to text you at 5:19 and ask why you're not out on the road :) We saw Marion on the road doing way geeky calf stretches. As I passed her I thought, "Those are my favorite calf stretches", then I said hello (total etiquette extra credit since I had a running partner with me). Then we realize we know each other. It was great because I have wanted to introduce MacK and Marion. Two very important blog ladies in my life finally meet! So I didn't get in the 11 miles I needed today to get to 80 miles for the week, but I guess that is ok since tomorrow is 15 days from my marathon, and I was going to do 20, but now maybe I'll just do 18. We'll see. 15 days from my marathon! That means I have to start eating better. ave pace 8:21 weight 121
I went skiing with my family, the first time with all the kids. JJ (4 yrs) did great for his first time skiing. He and Mickie (6) were in ski school all day except I went down one bunny hill with them after picking them up in the afternoon. Ben did morning lessons, when Paul and I skiied sans kids, then joined us in the afternoon, which only slowed down the runs slightly, since Paul is already skiing like an old man. We had a great time. Weather was great (overcast and warm). I am not sure skiing all day will be good for my tempo tomorrow, but too late to cry about that.
