procrastination - gerlinda
i was totally dreading my "gruesome 4.5 miler" around grant park...maybe that's why i invited friends over wednesday night to "get the dogs together to play." i knew it would give me an excuse not to get up thursday morning!
of course, friday morning, i had no such excuse...
finally, this morning, lauren & i met @ 7am & knocked out the run. turns out it's not so terribly gruesome after all...the first 1/4 mile is downhill, the next mile or so is rolling hills - not too terrible, the next mile & 1/2 is pretty flat. then comes a leg that's all uphill...but it's only one leg. then it's flat again. then back to the rolling hills. and the last bit is actually a gruesome hill - but at that point you're a 1/4 mile from the finish so - BOOM!
i feel really good that i finally did the run.
too bad i flaked on all my crosstraining.
tomrrow is a 7 miler. a group of friends is running with me, including kathy who is actually doing 9 miles as part of her training for the Marine Corps marathon. Hoo-Rah!
