October 4

Run
  • 19m 01s
  • 1.50 miles
  • 12m 40s /Mi

Quick spin around the neighborhood, mostly to make sure my ankle was up to running for the long run tomorrow. Did fine, no worries.

Really glad I took the day off my ankle yesterday. During work, anytime I got even slightly pulled by a dog I would get a little flare of pain. Trying to decide if I should stay off it today as well. Today is my scheduled rest day, with tomorrow being a 9 miler. That's my longest long run yet. Its funny. Before joining a challenge, I would have kissed the miles lost goodbye no problem. Now I have a team, and I don't want to let them down, so it really is helping with my workouts. I will probably not run on it again today, just to be safe. I can always squeeze an extra 3 miles in somewhere else during the month.

October 3

I'm not really trusting my ankle right now. What the heck did I do to it? Stupid small joints. Anyway, I have a ton of chores to get done before work, so I'm going to do my run tonight when I get home. That will give me all day to test my ankle at work, and we'll see what happens. Holy crap I think my fridge is busted! I came home from work and my whole house smells like bad cheese, and there's a small stream on my kitchen floor. I hate being a homeowner for this very reason. Going to get Brian to take a look at it, fulfilling his stereotypical husbandly duties.

  • 3.00 miles
  • 12m 43s /Mi

Perfect weather, what a great way to start the month. Didn't eat breakfast before the run, felt a little woozy with .3 to go.

Today was one of those days where running makes sense. I felt so good. A little woozy at the very end, because I didn't eat, but still, such a good run. I feel better now than I did before I ran. I love that. Today should be a good day. I'm hoping to get either a call or email from the registrar's office today. I faxed the wrong re-enrollment form on Friday, and then faxed the right one and a note of explanation on Sunday. They start evaluating forms for re-enrollment in October. And it is October, so I'm ready.

Run
  • 1h 05m 13s
  • 5.00 miles
  • 13m 03s /Mi

GU Tri-berry 15 minutes before starting. My stomach held up pretty well. Maybe a little twinge right at the beginning, but then felt fine. Slight ache behind right knee.

Perfect weather for my run! How often does that happen? Such a great day now because of that. 65 degrees, sun was setting, a tiny bit of breeze, and everything felt effortless.
