It was my scheduled day to run today, but I took it off. I've been working like crazy this week. I've already gotten 55 hours this week not to mention the 3 hours I put in at the church this week so I slept an extra 45 minutes. Honestly, I think I would have been just as good to have gotten in the extra 3.1 miles this morning, but oh well. What's done is done.
I'm going to extend this weekend's long run by 1 mile and do 13. Heck, I'll probably go 13.1 so I can get a true 1/2 marathon time. I normally do my long runs on Saturday, but this week, I'll have to go on Sunday. This will be different since my long Saturday runs are in the morning. I have a light breakfast (usually some type of energy bar) and then I hit the road about an hour later.
Sunday's run will be in the mid-afternoon so I would have already had breakfast, church, and then lunch. Might be a good thing....might be a bad thing. We'll see. Either way, 13 miles is my goal.
I'm so proud of DD10. She's the reason I can't do my long run tomorrow. She had to do a project for 4-H and was selected to compete in the regional competition to do the oral presentation of her project. I honestly thought 4-H was livestock and stuff like that so I'm not sure exactly how this has anything to do with 4-H, but I'm proud of her none-the-less. Since her daddy is a salesman, does tons of public speeking, and preaches every Wednesday night, I"ve been her coach this week teaching her all I know! lol.
I think DW might try to go more than 3.1 miles this weekend too!. She was going to do it last weekend, but didn't get up in time to go run before our day started (we run the same course, but separately since I run the loop 4 times-she runs it once) and didn't run at all. I gave her tons of crap for it too!
My BIL is having his annual pig roast Saturday night so that'll be lots of good eats.
All in all, I hope it's a successful weekend for DD, DW, and myself. I know it'll be a busy one, but we've come to expect that anymore.
