I woke up at 6AM Saturday morning, ran 8.5 miles...
...and I liked it.
I'm beginning to question if I'm insane. Probably. Oh well, doesn't matter. I have things to do.
The half marathon is now less than a month away. I was worried about the distance because the longest race I've ran so far has only been 5 miles, but I am confident right now that I can finish the full 13.1 miles. This weekend's run is the longest I've ever gone so far, but something just seemed to click into place with my running. It almost feels easy.
I'm starting to get cocky enough to think about a full marathon. I told you I was crazy. I wouldn't train for a full marathon until next year though. My ticker needs more time before it can take that kind of punishment.
In other news, I made strawberry cupcakes. Not the boxed kind, either. The fo' realz, from scratch kind. Then I made the icing. My baking sills are a danger to myself. I found a way around it though. As long as I make it as a gift for someone else I won't touch it. Someone at my office asked for the cupcakes for their birthday today.
In other, other news, I'm about 700 pages into the first book of the Sword of Truth series. It's crazyness, but I can't put it down. I don't think I've done anything else with my free time but read. The plot is amazingly predictable, but I can't put it down. I just have to see what happens next. I do have one complaint. Every evil person in the book is a vegetarian. LAME.
