Today

Today was a rest day. We sat by a pool for 4 hours this afternoon. It is well over 100 degrees here with the heat index. Tracy did YOGA in the park. I have been awake since 4:00AM. I couldn't get comfortable and TRIED to sleep in 4 different places in my house last night! I am going to run 13.1 miles tomorrow morning early before the sun wakes up. I put together a long run playlist today . . .70 songs. I am in trouble if 13.1 miles takes me 70 songs. I am going to hit "shuffle" and be surprised. I handpicked every one of the songs so they will all take me "some" place that I have been before. . . .A friend recently introduced me to the singer, Ryan Bingham. At 5:00AM this morning I watched him on Austin City Limits. I am digging it . . . I am going to put gatorade instead of water in my handheld water bottle for my run tomorrow. Going to a friend's house tonight for fish . . .it will be one beer and water the rest of the time as this marathon training is a lifestyle that can't be compromised just because it's hot and he offers me two beers!
