training day number five

i missed a run on wednesday this week due to volunteer training for the tar heel 10 miler run on saturday. i was going to do wednesday's run on tuesday but since i ran longer than planned on monday, i skipped it. the 10 miler will be a goal for next year. if all goes well, that should be a breeze after running a marathon. :)

i read that volunteering for races is a good thing. you get to learn a lot about running and the world of running. the expo is at the mall and i hate the mall so i missed out on that bit but i will check out things after the race and my volunteer job is done. volunteers get a discount on the entry fee next year.

i did gym training every day this week. today's workout was a bit harder for two reasons.

1. i had a heavy breakfast with my old team. they wanted to meet and vent about the crazy things going on at work. i tried to just listen but it is just crazy, i had to throw them some good vibes.

2. i stayed up late last night with a good bottle of wine; so i was hungover. :(

add to that, i did not get to workout in the morning but in the afternoon. that is not the best time if i am going for a run in the same day. but i got through it, thankfully.
