What Time?

Where did the time go? I even missed TIART! Man...I am slacking as they say. I guess it has been a busy week at work. Really busy, in fact, so please forgive my occasional absences.

If you were wondering, I did end up doing the NYC Ballet workout yesterday morning. It just felt so weird to not be running in the evening! I mean...I came home, I ate dinner, I built a cabinet, I watched the debates, I sat around...you get the picture. It just felt weird. And I'm still so very hungry! This is getting to be a bit ridiculous...first I finish a box of cookies on Tuesday night(yes, the entire box), then last night, whilst watching the debate, I made about four cups of tea and had more than a few handfuls of cashews. Finally, today, I ate the Chipotle burrito.



The. Whole. Thing.

And you know what? I'll probably be hungry again when I get home. Yeah, that's right...I will be more than willing to eat again. And again.

This morning I had a lovely run in the rain. The weather is much cooler now, and the humidity is lower, which makes rainy runs that much more fun. Right at this very moment, I am resisting the urge to go for a run this evening. Oh Taper...why must you torment me so? Tomorrow's run is only seven miles, and thus ends the long run cycle of this summer's marathon training. I can't believe we've got less than two weeks until the Chicago marathon. Pretty crazy, right?

Thanks to the suggestions of a few of you, I'm thinking of starting my own virtual half-marathon in January, for those of us unable to travel (damn you, economy!!!) to nice, warm locations with fruity drinks. If you're down for running a half marathon in your own backyard sometime mid-January, let me know and I'll try and be creative about times, prizes, and booze.
