45.5 miles last week
8.16.2004
...was the distance I covered on foot, in my training for the Chicago Marathon. Yesterday I ran 19 miles. It took a long time. I'm sore.
And this week is even nastier. 50 miles total, with a 10-miler on Saturday and a 20-miler on Sunday. I have to find some new routes; running laps on an 8-mile course just ain't the way to go.
Spent part of the weekend organizing our storage and closet space, and in building shelves for our kitchen closet/pantry.
I'm tired. I'm going to sleep early tonight. I wanted to watch Kill Bill Vol. 2 again tonight -- which I heartily recommend -- but I just don't think I can keep my head up for it.
Talked to EWS today, and she survived Hurricane Charlie with no damage, it seems. Great news, as she's just moved to Tampa and a smackdown like that would be brutal for a new homeowner such as herself. Went and saw her and A in Tampa a couple of weeks ago (during the Saint Leo training) -- we hung out in Ybor City and ate well.
