Notes:
- This is the first year since running the New York City Marathon in 2011 that I didn’t enter the lottery – I kind of forgot about it! Then I saw people posting that they got in (or not) on Facebook on Tuesday. Aww. It’s such a great race!. I’m excited for the people who get to run it!
- I’ve seen some other people running on some of my routes! This makes me feel better – that other people think the routes are safe enough to run, and that I am not the only one annoying drivers by running in the shoulder.
- Dad, Will, Julie (Will’s sister) and I all registered for Day 7 (Saturday) of RAGBRAI this week. YAY! I am hoping Gina and Andrew will sign up, too!
- Ahh, DST. You effer. Is everyone else ready to be completely messed up for two weeks while we get used to the time change?
- I was planning to hit 60 running miles this week but I woke up with a massive headache on Sunday – probably from the shift in weather, and maybe from the paint fumes on Saturday – and had to get extra sleep to get rid of it. So I cut my run back due to (even more!) lost time. Maybe I can try for 60 again this month (although I have a lot more commute days in the next two weeks so that will be tricky!).
- Steven put the TV up in the workout room this weekend! The room is close to being “finished” (for now). I am looking forward to showing it, when it is!

I love that I got to take two of your classes this week! Let me know whenever there’s a spot on Mondays – it’s a great way to start the week!
I felt crappy today too, and the weather felt too gross for a run. So I walked on the treadmill and watched X-files. I’m okay with my choice. Glad you could still get out for a good run!
I do too! I will let you know when there is a spot open! 🙂
That sounds like a good choice, too! Sunday’s weather totally cracked me up – forecast was rain on and off, 55% chance. It rained all day! LOL! (And of course, that was the day Steven put the flying squirrel trap up outside… we like to do all our inside work on the nice days, like Saturday).
Wow, that’s impressive that you had 2 runs on Monday plus teaching strength class! And yeah, not a fan of DST. I don’t think I know anyone who is. I kind of wish we’d just get rid of it.
Thanks 🙂 My class is a circuit right now, so I am not doing as much! (they’re at stations for some of it, rather than me going through each move with them)
I wish we’d just stick with one, you know??!!
