Daylight savings time is killing me. I needed to get to bed early last night so that I could be up a the crack of dawn today to get to the track. It took me forever to get to sleep since according to my body clock it was really only 8:30 PM. SO early. (though I watch a documentary about Laird Hamilton this week and he goes to bed at 8:00 PM every night. EVERY NIGHT). Anyway, when my alarm went off at 5:30 AM this morning, it felt just heinous. I almost bailed since I wasn't going to really do the workout as I am resting from the Tom King. As soon as I climbed in the car I was really thrilled to be going, and this is why: I am listening to Pride and Prejudice on my iphone and I jogged safely in circles while listening to the resolution of the vile Wickham/ Lydia drama. It was really nice to just zone out and listen without the fear of being run down by a car.
So after my four mile recovery run, I headed out to meet with Richard Baker, Triswami who had a lot of great information about how to handle myself until Boston. He said I never needed to be at the starting line of the race feeling tired and like I was just glad to get it over with. This is a novel concept as I don't really like the idea of resting up. Its just not my thing. I think I am not very competitive, and I am much more about the social workout than the ultimate event.
That said, I intend to follow the rules and be ready for the Boston Marathon, completely tapered and ready to run with a plan. I am going to do it right.
After my meeting, I headed home to tend to a still-sick Ivan and was prevented from going to Bible study which was a huge bummer. I have been at home ever since. I did get in a bit of yoga, and I am about to start knitting.
Also, I have a cold and Ivan is still sick. This may prevent my participation in the Bambino Brigade tomorrow. Bleh
Posting Ivan's Christmas Picture. Isn't that the best Santa EVER!!!
