small setback this week

I had a little setback this week when I woke up this morning not feeling well. I chose not to run and am now second guessing myself. I really want to get in 10 miles in each week prior to the long run on Saturdays. As it stands I have only run 4 miles this week. I don't think I want to run more than 4 tomorrow because I want my legs to be fresh for Saturday.

Stuff happens, I guess.

I will end today's post with a funny running story:last week during my longest run yet, I was the last one at the water stop before we headed out for the last few miles. Just as I was about to head out, a guy came to the water station -- another runner from a different pace group. He was looking as exhausted as I felt. As he approached, I said, "Hey, how ya hangin?"

It was then that I realized what I had said. Oh No. I was horrified! I quickly said, "Oh dear, I didn't mean that to be crude. I am sorry." He didn't even look at me or acknowledge me as he ran off! I think I laughed the rest of the run! Mortifying!!!

I will post tomorrow or Saturday after the long run. This week we are back to 12 miles.
