Tuesday: Final Speed Session, Yoga, and 6 Days Until Boston


I really do hate getting up for Speed Sessions, but today's was really lovely as I got to cut the workout down to less than half in honor of my tapering. Also, Mark Miller (THE GREAT), told me to run the miles at my planned marathon race pace. So, I ran with Mary Taylor Gallagher, who was lots of fun and totally conversational. How much do I love a conversational run? Love it. I mean last week, during the 800's, I was heaving. This week, I was jogging and chatting like it was the laziest of Saturdays. So pleasant.
In fact, I was thinking this morning, while Mary Taylor and I were chat chat chatting away that I might sign up for summer speed sessions just for the heck of it, just to make sure that I get in a good early workout. When I think about it, it is just $50 for the whole program. This actually seems like a good deal for what seems like an interminable amount of Tuesdays where I wake up at 5:20 AM filled with loathing. Most likely, I will be rethinking the summer speed session situation. Most likely.
At home, I headed into Bible study and them home for a nap before heading into Green Hills to do some jeans shopping with my parents. At home, I got in a yoga session and dinner, before heading to Yogurt World, where I made a terrible mistake.
Yogurt World always has about ten different flavors to choose from. I completely ignore the tart flavors because they are gross, and honestly why bother with frozen treats that are not chocolate? Anyway, I mixed up in my head that a Snickerdoodle flavor would be like a Cake Batter flavor, only to find that it was more cinamony and is was most unfortunate when mixed with my usual chocolates. You take gambles at Yogurt World. You have to know when to walk away. It didn't ruin me on Yogurt World, and at least it was double punch night which means that I am only four Yogurt Worlds away from a free yogurt.
