Glorious

Week two is complete, and I'm several steps closer to Philly. Actually, I'm no closer at all, I am still sitting in the same spot I was this time last week. So I am not sure why I just wrote that. It was a good week, and I ran some miles (surprise!) Most of those miles were good ones.

The implied "goal" for this week was to remember how to plan out my time better, and get all the runs in. I am not sure I am any better at planning my time, but I did manage to fit everything in. I'll mark that as a win for now. For the coming week, the goal is to start the habit of getting my Monday medium-long run in early in the morning. I won't be able to do that run during lunch once the miles get longer. That probably means I should get to bed instead of spending much more time on this. We'll see how that pans out.

Lowlight of the week: Noticing RubbleTex for the first time. I am not always that observant, so it may have been that way for weeks. I was kind of sad to see the whole thing torn down. Especially the barn. I have some pretty vivid and fond memories of huddling in that barn with my teammates to stay warm and sane before a certain race in February, 2007.

Highlight of the week: The (glorious) rain! Monday and Wednesday I got to run in the (glorious) rain. It was a welcome break from the alternative. Yeah, it made things a little muggy on the other days, but this time of year, rain is just so... what's a stronger word for "great"? Wonderful? Awesome? Neat-o? No.. different, like... with angels or something. Heavenly? Hang on... it'll come to me...

Song of the week: Singin' in the Rain? I am just now realizing there aren't all that many options for "happy" songs about rain.
