Week 2, Day 3 of Marathon Training (3 Miles)
Should I be concerned that every time I type out the word marathon I always add a silent g at the end. What the hell is a marathong??? Is it a specific type of undergarment worn underneath running clothes to avoid that dastardly and embarrassing VPL problem? Perhaps it is a seedy ritual where the runner wears 26.2 pairs of underwear and discards a pair every mile. God help the spectators at that finish line! I welcome your thoughts on this conundrum.
I have been battling a pretty nasty cold the last few days which put a damper on my Thursday running plans. I ended up working 1/2 days Thursday and Friday and pretty much went with the 'imprint of my ass on the couch' approach to running both days.
However, today was a different story. My wife and I successfully (hopefully) re-seeded about a 1/4 of our front lawn. Unfortunately it was the 1/4 with mostly dirt not the 3/4 part which is a mix of weeds and crabgrass. Sorry Neighbors... if it helps I know my lawn sucks. At least I don't have a pink flamingo or the lady bending over with her bloomers showing sticking in the front lawn. Take the small victories where you can get them. I also managed to cut the grass do some weeding and somereeding reading. I am currently re-reading Stephen King's The Shining and I am finding it quite unputdownable. Last time I read it I don't remember loving it quite this much. I must be maturing :)
I also made up for lost time and went for 3-miles today. It was a beautiful night and the run felt spectacular. I am looking forward to the 7-miles I have planned for tomorrow.
Results
Distance: 3.00 Miles
Time: 27:34
Pace: 9:11
Final Thought:
