Alleluia....Let's Go To Starbucks!

Alternate title: "3 Days of Fail"

Although we didn't have school this week, I didn't run out of things to do. And because I was so busy, I may have neglected to do a few things:

• Write the last movement in my concerto
• Finish writing the Great American Novel
• Pick up my kids from daycare
• Run

Well, that's not completely true. I did run on Saturday afternoon. And I did eventually pick up the kids (rim shot!). Know what, sports fans? I. Am. Out. Of. Shape. The fact that I put in about 12 miles of walking (golf), I'd like to say I overachieved last week. I think you all know me better than that, though. The deal was 4 runs per week and I only got 1 in. So, looks like I'm going to have to put a cap XC2's hinder and somehow psych my other competitor out.

Here's the deal: I need to train for something. I can't just run just to run. There has to be a goal. That's why I'm throwing out the idea of the Omaha Marathon or the Half Marathon for my next big challenge. Very hilly course, but the appeal of running a race at home appeals to me.

Just throwin' it out there.
