Made a deal with myself again that I wouldn't run until my laundry was done, so I got going at 3pm. Started off doing the AP 10, and stopped by at AP's house for the potty (and found Annie and Heidi sitting on the roof of all things), then was feeling good and adventurous, so I went off exploring new roads in Little Valley and came back through S Bloomington Hills, so it turned out longer by a ways. Felt pretty good, though my lower back is sore from duct-taping and freezer-papering our entire boat last night (which worked quite perfectly this morning, I must say) and my left ankle is still being bothersome, but the weather was perfect and the run was nice and relaxing. Also, I finally think I'm starting to kind of get the hang of running downhill better. Hopefully! Avg. 7:39/mi pace. (DS2 296.5)

We missed you today but I am glad you got your laundry done. I am sure your mother appreciated that one! It is a very nice weather day today!

Thanks so much for the support! It's great to have encouragement from experience runners!

Running downhill is a tricky business. I still am not sure what the correct way is. Nice mileage this week.

50 mile week - nice work. What is freezer papering?

From Ruthie on Mon, Feb 18, 2008 at 00:36:38

Waterproofing! Freezer paper has a waxy side -like waxed paper but sturdier- so we covered all the surfaces that might touch water in freezer paper so the cardboard wouldn't get soggy.

Thats a lot of miles! Jibbing is one of two things. It's either where you grind on a rail with one foot, or when you lift a section of your board and twist it in a 360. It's way fun, but sort of hard. Anyways, I hope I can get the guts to do a run that huge on Saturday. Keep it up!

You are awesome. Maybe we can do a homework party after I got off of work tonight. But it would have to be over at my house. I don't know how much fun I will be I am sick.
