Weekend off!

I took the weekend off from running so I could enjoy the kid free time. I spent a lot of time chatting with my husband (he's traveling out of the country right now), catching up on school work (tests, papers, homework), cleaning the house and relaxing.

I got out for a sloppy 5 miles yesterday. I ran 8:51s but the run just felt all wrong. I was hoping today would feel better but I wasn't very peppy. I guess I have too much other stuff on my mind to let go on the run and enjoy it. Y'know how that is? You keep thinking of a million other things you should be doing instead of just enjoying the gorgeous fall weather.

So I'm still contemplating the Spinx. I want to get a 10 miler in before I sign up. I know I've pulled an 8 already and 10 isn't that far off but it's a mental block with me. I guess it's tough knowing I won't be running with my regular running partner, too. Running big races like that alone isn't much fun.

I really, really wish David were going to be in town to run it with me. It's funny how running is what brought us together and now we rarely get to do it together anymore. I miss running with him and can't wait until he's home in 9 days. Shoot, I'm not even worried about getting a run in together. I'm just ready to have my husband back home:) His internet connection in Bahrain is shitty, to say the least, so regular communication is difficult.

So in the event that the "Bob" the scheduler for D's company is reading this-
NO MORE BAHRAIN....please?:)
