The runs this week have been done with Danielle (!) or alone with my music. Sunday, which is not up there, we ran an hour and a half, up lots of hills and we survived. It was a lot easier than we thought. The funny thing is that all the other runs that I had this week that required hills were really easy to do too... Thankfully the course is pretty flat. Monday I ran a bit and did the intervals than ran home, got ready for yet another wedding, ran home and got ready for football practice. Although Tuesday was a rest day I was working on my feet from 630am to 9pm. I think I fell asleep for about 20 minutes sometime during the day. Wednesday morning I was supposed to run at 630 with Danielle. She asked me to call her when I woke up, which I did promptly at 6 to which her reponse was "No.". So I went back to sleep for an hour and went out for the run at 730. I pretty much the same route we did on Sunday just in the reverse order with some detours. I was so stiff when I started out, and tired but, it went well. The weather has taken a great turn around and I wish it could be like this all year. I hope that its like this in Italy the day of the marathon.
Today is Friday, which means many things. Most importantly that I have a crazy run to do before Shabbas starts and since I am having at least 13 people over for dinner I have to make sure my run is done in time. I don't have any busses to catch but I do have an apartment to organize and make sure its clean and presentable and that all the food tastes good. Thankfully yesterday wasn't too busy. I had a client at 630 and from the gym I went straight to the shuk. I love being there when I can walk around freely and talk to the vendors while they are unloading the produce. I was in and out within 15 minutes got home and cooked everything by 12. Brian supplied me with a soup recipe that I'm sure came out great. It was Chevi's birthday this week so I think it calls for a celebration with some wine and amazing chocolate liquor that I have... Too bad there's no whiskey.
Sunday is going to be another independent half marathon day. Should be interesting. I will be taking my water, sport beans and camera. Kind of like a trial run, just half the distance...
