Week 19
This was a fairly intense week! Sunday I had the Mother’s Day Classic, where the Snook and I actually extended the distance to about 12K. Monday I went to an after-work session at Spudds. Tuesday I did a morning run of about 6K, and I froze my butt off! (Winter is coming.) Wednesday was another Spudds session, this time at lunch. Thursday was a much needed rest day! Then I did another 5K run today at lunchtime.
May 8: 11.8km
May 10: 6.01km
May 13: 5.14km
Total this week: 22.96km (14.4mi)
Total in 2011: 467.02km (291.9mi)
In order to meet my goal of running 1100km in 2011, I should be at 402km. Yep, still heaps of cushion.
Of course, that last five months of training have all led up to this Sunday. I will be running a full marathon as a training run. That’s 42.2km. That’s 26.2mi. Then I’ll have four weeks of taper before my actual race. This is it. I can do it.
And major shout-outs to the Slow Runners Club Coaching Team. The encouragement has been flowing on our Facebook page!

It’s cold. No snow in Sydney, of course, but our house feels very chilly. (We don’t have central heating.) I put another blanket on the bed last night, much to the warm-blooded Snook’s chagrin!
Now that I’ve got the Snook successfully wearing a knitted cardigan in public, it’s time to take it up a notch: The Dude’s Cardigan. We’d have to stock up on White Russian ingredients…
I wore my Road to Golden today, and it prompted a girl in my office to comment, “I need to get back to knitting. I mean, I know all the basics – except how to purl – but I used to knit and knit…”

The 10 Worst States to be a Woman. Indiana is #4. Two things about our high school: 1) Our Sex Ed program was laughable. 2) We actually had a nursery in school so that teen moms could visit their babies while they attended class. It was well-used. Hoosier lawmakers don’t seem to see the frickin’ connection.
