So yesterday I wasn't in a particularly running friendly mood, so I only ran 2 miles after eating some fantastic Tex Mex from Burrito Loco with Mike. Today, I went out for 5 miles, but was distracted by Kimya Dawson, and I would up running 6.5 miles. It's supposed to snow tonight, but only 2-4 inches. 2-4 inches is just a nuisance. It's not enough to cancel school and work or to make a sick fort, but it's enough to make driving and running a real hassle.
So I did it. I signed up for the Providence Marathon on May 4th. On Monday, I'll start a 10 week training program. I was telling someone else whom will remain nameless, and they said "Why don't you start tomorrow?" Well my friends, training for a marathon is crazy. It's not like you can say "Ok I'm running a marathon, I'm gonna go for a jog." It needs to be planned out real specifically. Especially in my case where I am attempting to keep a streak alive. When I was training for the Disney Marathon, I would only be running 4 or 5 days a week. The 2 rest days are totally important. So I'm thinking for the days that I would normally take off, I'll just jog 1 or 2 miles, at a real slow pace. This will keep my streak alive, and hopefully will give my body the proper recovery it needs. It should be real interesting once I get to like a week before the marathon, when I should be tapering off and only running like 2 days. But I'll cross that bridge when I come to it.
My favorite Canadian rock band is Rush. These are my favorite Rush songs, in top 8 order. If you are an old schooler like myself, you'll know that the top 8 is what Myspace originally had, not a top 40 nor a top 64. You also couldn't choose your top friends. It was in the order of who joined Myspace first. This system was good because I was in almost everyones top 8. But anyway, my top 8 Rush songs are as follows. (8 is my 8th fave, 1 is my top fave.)
8. New World Man
7. Working Man
6. Closer to the Heart
5. Limelight
4. Freewill
3. Spirit of the Radio
2. Tom Saywer
1. The Trees
Miles Run Yesterday and Today: 7 YTD: 118.5
P.S. If you want to know why the title of this post is "adam is a sissy" it's because we made a pact on January 4th not to cut our hair or shave our beards until July 4th. Keeping tidy was allowed. But Adam cut his hair yesterday. He took about 6 inches off. Therefore, he shall be known as a sissy for all eternity on the interwebs.
See Ya
