The cold weather should be no excuse
Posted on 17. Jan, 2007 by Brad in Planning, Training
I’ve been meaning to get out and test my pedometer watch a bit more but the cold weather and wet conditions have provided enough excuses for me to stay inside and work sudoku puzzles or read books (work has been slow this week). After missing Bandera, I know I’m in need of a long run but just can’t muster the motivation to go out there and put in the miles. I would really rather run on the trails, but they are likely very muddy and need a few more days to dry. However, with Rocky Raccoon coming up, some long and flat distance would probably be a good thing.
And speaking of Rocky, I am still deciding on travel plans. Right now the most comfortable option seems to be flying in on Friday afternoon, attending the pre-race stuff, and then settling into a Huntsville hotel. I have the right gear to turn it into a camping weekend, but I am thinking a soft bed will be really nice to have after the 50 and before I head to the Dam Road Aid Station for a night of volunteering with Deborah and NTTR.
With regards to upcoming races, I filled out my registration for the FANS 24 hour run in June. That check is in the mail. Since I bought the plane ticket last month, I can officially tell myself there should be no backing out now.
