I broke my own rule . . .

I have always told our son that he needs to go to the bathroom even if he doesn't need to before he goes out for a run. I follow my own rule 99.7% of the time. Today was the 0.3% time. Run was cut WAY short . . pride still intact. . .tomorrow is a new day!

I am going to do 9.5 miles in the morning. The new "run" that I ran on Monday when I took the day off. A mix of city, country road, hills and park . . .I have all of the clothes layed out, ipod charging, handheld waterbottle washed . . .I am guessing that it will be in the 20's. ANYTHING can be better than today's run.

I just finished a documentary today called "The Runner." I bought it for myself for Valentine's Day! It follows David Horton as he runs 2,700 miles from Mexico to Canada on the Pacific Coast Trail. 40 miles per day for 66 consecutive days! It is very cool . . . .Speaking of very cool, I did a little research on The North Face Endurance Challenge 50k in Kansas City in mid-November . . .might be a possibility. I found a 20 wk 50k  training program that would fit in very nicely with my life schedule. We will see . . . .something big is coming down the road . . .I can feel it.
