Today i got up early and headed outside, only to return to put on tights as it was cold. I don’t mind running in the cold even though I am ready for some warm weather for sure. Even now (in teh afternoon) my hands are cold out in my office, of course I could shut the door and put on the heat, but I don’t want to admit that the warm weather isn’t here. Even so (back to the run) my cold weather shirt didn’t stay on for long and neither did the gloves, so something warm must be happening.

Today I ran pretty sluggish, I still feel somewhat tired. My time was pretty slow today, well back to where it was when I first started recently. But overall the run went pretty well. I wasn’t struggling or anything and managed to keep a consistent pace an rhythm going. I might have been somewhat dehydrated too, I have been guzzling water all day.

I guess there isn’t too much else to report at this point today which can be a good thing. No news is good news? Not if you a reader reading a boring blog…

Oh, now I remember what I was going to write about. I ended up watching a track meet down in Eugene on TV last night. It was pretty interesting, a lot of the female runners were not what you would expect from female runners (maybe I watch to many marathons) and many of them were pretty big. Not fat by any means but large and muscular especially the steeplechasers. The OR women kicked butt, but the men’s was really close. Right at the very end (they were using a Euopean scoring system) the OR men and Kansas men were real close. It was down to the relay. If OR won and KU came in third it would be a tie and then the discuss would determine the winner. And that is what happened! So on to the discuss! That was when the announcer said, “well, sorry but we don’t have time in the broadcast for the discus” and then they referred us to a website to get the results. The stupid site didn’t even have the results! I was so mad, and I haven’t been able to find them anywhere else. Grrr
