freelancing it

today like many other runs i had to fit my running into the obligations and responsibilities of my blessed life. so today during stavros' flute lesson i ran on the school grounds. i'm not exactly sure how far i went because i was actually planning on using the track but there was a middle school track meet (of course). running around the campus was nice actually i wasn't really familiar with the layout. then later on...after leaving the kids at karate i took the baby for the new extended home loop. there was no watch and no garmin. it is also interesting to run twice in a day the strain on the body is different. its like being already warmed up and already pooped out. it almost simulates a long run but you skip the middle miles and jump from the beginning three to the last three. it was nice to feel recuperated from the half marathon on sat. speaking of the half marathon on sat. in retrospect i definitely get that i was not prepared for the run. my mileage had gone way down (83.something for march) I was especially not ready for the heat (80 something and full sun). so of course now i train in the heat. Saturday is the irongirl 10k. i generally don't like shorter races i prefer going long but it is a spectacular course over the clearwater bridge to the beach and back. the gulf air is mystifying. i hope actually go and run. lastly, i would like to comment about bloggin itself. it is somewhat more complex then may be appreciated initially; in that it is a record of thoughts, beliefs and accomplishments and that makes it personal but it is such a public forum writing candidly while being mindful of the unknown audience is a tightrope walk. i'm just saying. not that anyone reads this blog.
