these things always feel like a cheesy myspace survey, but yet i love doing them all the same. i am passing this one along to fellow runners who are currently
aron of runner's rambles, preparing to run cowtown and clinch a bq.
matt of kitchen of a runner, gearing up for chicago.
carlee of chasing forrest gump, looking forward to hartford.

running?? oh right... been doing a little of that lately too. nothing exciting. actually, i'm struggling again this week and really starting to wonder/worry about nyc. i'd consider deferring to 2010 but my parents already bought their plane tickets and hotel reservation to come watch. at this rate it looks like it will become a fun run.... sigh.
monday (9/28) - easy 5.3, cut short, my concrete blocks-for-legs were not cooperating so i thought i'd go easy on them. 64* and slightly crispy air, welcome back asthma.
tuesday (9/29) - easy 10.2, legs felt a little better but still heavy. 55*, wore the one t-shirt i packed. i figured i had a couple more weeks of tank-top weather before i needed to bring warmer running clothes. not enjoying the crisp-air-induced-wheezing, but i think the cooling temps made my easy pace feel easier.
wednesday (9/30) - easy 20-minutes and upper body workout. nothing like ending the month with a bang.... or fizzle.
thursday (10/01) - very slow and depressing 5k (distance by chance). lead legs; they're kind of sore but not really. they just don't want to turn over. after an extremely slow, plodding warmup i knew the planned interval workout was not going to happen. combined with an emotional breakdown (or something) i called it quits. i am in a funk! (again!) i swear, i think i'm running-bi-polar.
only one month until nyc... i wonder how well a 4-week taper would go over? can i just start now?
