5/12/06 and 5/14/06

5/12/06 - ran 3 miles with sb. it was awesomely horrible. rainy, windy, cold...yet amusing. lake michigan almost swallowed us a few times and our shoes made neat squishy sounds after getting soaked by a few big waves. by the end, we were soggy and inexplicably tired after what turned out to be a very slow 3 miles. luckily, elephant and castle had plenty of booze to warm us up.

5/14/06 - needed to have a good long run because i hadn't felt good for a very long time. ran part of the soldier field course with sb. other than a few bunny hills, the course seems manageable. we averaged sub-10 minute pace for 8 miles, but that doesn't mean i'll be able to do that on race day. current race strategy: start running and hold on for dear life.

i was supposed to go to a 5k race today, but that didn't so much happen. got a call yesterday from my childhood best friend who happened to be in town for a graduation ceremony. spent the evening up in lake forest hanging out with a bunch of recent grads and undergrads. didn't wake up feeling so much like running.

tomorrow: rest day
weekly mileage: 16 miles
