Sunday - just rested. Feeling better but not sure why Saturday was so hard.
Monday - 4 mile run. I'm slowly getting a little bit of speed back. No where near my goal pace, but it's hot, I've been on vacation a lot, and there are this blasted hills everywhere I go!
Tuesday - left early for my cross country trip with mini me. Taking her out west in preparation for her starting University this fall (and the fact that she doesn't have anywhere else to stay - our temporary lodging just has 1 bedroom. She's been sleeping in the dining room). It was a pretty good drive to see my son in NC. We got to spend the night hanging out with him and his college roommates. Found gelato at the grocery store, ate too much, watched tv, then went to the gym with the college kids at 9 at night. Cause that's what the cool kids do. Ran 3.25 miles on milly. That was enough.
Wednesday - 11 hours in the car driving to Ca$hville (aka Hendersonville, TN). Got to see a little leage baseball game, and stayed up all night talking about boys with my girlfriend. Slumber parties ROCK!
Thursday - waking up at 5:30 am after an all night slumber party does not rock. Got the oil changed in the car and headed out for another 11 hour day in the car. Made it to Lawrence, KS. Drove through 5 states today. Really trying to just knock out as many miles as we can. Mini me is doing a lot of driving - good practice. Still have a couple more long days in the car. Probably won't get any more miles in with my running shoes this week. I guess I'll say it's my taper for the half. But I can't even type it without laughing at how unprepared I am. I wish I could just ride a horse during the race. People would think the parade had started early.
Friday - 6.5 miles on milly at the hotel in NE.
Saturday - drive, drive, drive. Finally arrived in UT.
