Good Idea: getting in a run before the rain, then going out for pancakes afterward. Bad Idea: sleeping in, going out for pancakes, then trying to run in the rain & sleet. Guess what I did Saturday??? It was a little tricky dragging around my "former DC Mayor Marion-Barry" (marionberry) pancakes in my belly while I was trying to run. The cracker barrel sure does have good pancakes!! I swear I think they were actually fried.
I cheated on my taper run. It was supposed to be 8, but I did a 10k instead. I really don't think it's going to matter at all next week for the race. Looking forward to the race. So far, the weather looks pretty good, but I'm going to knock on wood. Forecast today said Saturday should be low 50's with partly cloudy. Nice, huh? Pace average was 8:35.
