Sunny San Diego

Well, I haven't been posting much because I haven't been running much. I am planning 6 miles for tomorrow, 7 miles for this weekend, and 8 miles the following weekend. My training schedule was slightly adjusted from the Austin Fit one that has 8 miles scheduled for this weekend. According to my schedule that will get me running a half marathon in October, I need to run 10 miles this weekend. That will most likely not happen. Although, I am feeling slightly manic, so perhaps it will :)

I just got back from sunny San Diego, where I had envisioned glorious runs on the beach. Instead, I ran on a treadmill at a hotel, while looking at the beach. I have no idea why I made such a choice. It just seemed easier to run in the hotel instead of literally walking across the street to the beach. That would have involved sunscreen and sunglasses, and other sun-related accessories. The gym at my fancy hotel was not air conditioned, which made it rather uncomfortable, and I had to pay to use it, which was just absurd.

Anyway, the run was fine, and I am glad I did it. I have been starting to really crave running again, which I think is a good sign. I am going to rock my 6 miles tomorrow. I gotta feeling... (Hey, I should get that BEP song. I bet it would be good to run with.)

Distance: 3 miles on a treadmill
Lessons learned: I don't hate running on a treadmill as much as I thought I did
Song that rocked my run: What was I thinking? by Dierks Bentley (am I seriously admitting I listen to country music?)

I won't rank this run on the new 5-star system because I really had no plan going into it. I will rank my sure-to-be awesome run tomorrow.
