Family duties kept me off the TM tonight. So I'll get up in five hours (brain not turning off right now), and head to the athletic club for 10 on the TM tomorrow before work. That will put me on track to finish my first 80-mile week with 20 on Saturday.
Speaking of Saturday, that 20 will be with the Crackheads, most of whom are running their one and only 20-miler before Little Rock in four weeks. I'm kinda missing running my hometown race, even though I have my target set for Oregon in May. Thought about running the half at LR, but economics convinced me not to -- couldn't see paying $80 to run 13 miles on a course I could (and have) run in my sleep, and will run essentially in its entirety Saturday morning. I'm paying less than that for the full 26 at Newport, travel costs aside (which are not insignificant). I'll just do another 20-miler the day before LRM, and I may or may not even attend the race. What I really ought to do is find some way to help out at the race, but it's probably too late for that. |
