Trying

I'm really trying.  Maybe it's too close to showtime now to be attempting this sort of thing, but the weather is nice and I have no excuse!

I went out at lunch today.  I blew off a free lunch with a drug rep!  That's how important it was to me to make sure I "put this on my calendar".  (He left food for me though - so I did get to eat when I got back.  Free food, no spiel, what could be better??)

Same "usual" route as Monday.  It's the safest and easiest, so it'll be here a lot.

3.10 miles in 50:22.  A little slower than Monday but not too bad considering my knees are complaining about actually being outside on sidewalks and the like.  There is sun and there is wind and sprinklers and dogs.  Traffic too.  Can't forget traffic.  I had to wait today and managed to dart across on Monday, so maybe that's the "secret difference".  But 16:15 a mile isn't too horribly bad considering I was aiming to get in at least a slow 2 miles and see how I felt.

Beautiful day!  I can't believe it's finally under 90 degrees.  Amazing!  Now, if I could just get my stupid knees to feel better, my stupid stomach to heal, and my stupid sinus/dizziness issues to correct themselves, I'd be perfect!

Oh!  And I found a March race!  The Columbia SC Half Marathon.  Who knew?  I can pop down there just for the day and it has a 6 hour time limit.  So, even though it's just 2 weeks after the Princess, I can take my time.  I'm not really going to care if I'm a DLF on that one, it sounded perfect!
