Weds Run

I'm thinking this will be short, given that I am already two hours past my bedtime.

Liz has done a great job keeping me on pace to run these semi long runs once a week. We've been meeting on the towpath after work armed with our gummies or sweets of choice (today I tried gatoraids g1 cookie type things that I found in target. Couldn't recommend them or dis them because I didn't notice a huge difference) and head out 4 miles past the ranger station, stop for water on the way back and keep on trucking.

Today was wonderful. It was the first day in about two weeks where the humidity finally eased up to what it should be for July in ohio. It was probably about 84 degrees, but compared to what it's been like, this was hevean.

The only downside is that we started a little late, ergo ended up finishing late. All of my fellow runners know that after doing that type of mileage yields in a wonderful runners high full of energy filled endorphins (I mean, isn't that the whole reason we put ourselves through these treacherous runs?) So what's the downside you ask? Well, do the math. If I finish up running at 9 pm...and typically go to bed at 9:30 pm.... Where does that leave me?

Since you asked (or since I'm writing this blog) it leaves me with a spotlessly clean bathroom and kitchen, todays new york times articles read, some additional reading on great white sharks and of course an update to this fabulous blog. It's kinda nice to be productive, I just wish I could channel it to either work or prehaps at 6 pm.... Instead of 11 where I know I'll be cursing myself tomorrow.

Going to attempt to sleep. If I fail, I still have a dining room to clean and quite a few chapters in Harry Potter to read!
