So I signed up..

And it wasn't even a drunk registration! I signed up for the Atlanta Half. It's on Thanksgiving day. Last year it poured rain (I heard it from inside my covers in my nice warm, dry bed!) I needed to do something to force me to commit a little more to my training (which has been total shit lately). I know that I'm stretched way too thin these days, but I need to keep this for myself. Plus if I want to have a decent race at what will be my Spring goal race (ING) in March, then I need to keep training.... I'll figure it out somehow. I usually do.

So things are just super...

I'm so busy that even running early morning has gone out the window. I am so sick of this non-stop schedule, especially since it's mainly school stuff lately. Parents who just don't let up and want my full attention at every moment (despite having 120 students! Grf!) I was able to get 3 miles in Tuesday morning, though. Yesterday I was off of work for a doctor's appointment (and maybe a little Thrashers' practice action!!) and planned on doing the 7 miles I didn't get in this weekend. Sadly, it was pouring rain when I woke up at 6:45 and didn't let up till last night. I was going going going all day, though, so that was my only opportunity. It was raining again this morning, as well!

Plan for tomorrow is 5.5 after work. I have a teachers' workday/conference day, so I should be able to get away with leaving at 3:30 or so. I'm going to the Thrasher's season opening game tomorrow (vs. Caps! Woot!), but I think I will have time to get a run in, then shower quickly....

Mandy wants me to do the Zooma Women's 5K with her in November. I was originally going to use that as my goal HM, but then the training just wasn't going like I'd hoped due to everything else going on this summer. Well, I looked at my current training schedule and I have a 13 miler scheduled that day... should I do my LR the day before and still run the 5k with her or should I run the HM and treat it like a LR? I don't have to decide right away, but I will be thinking about it as I see how training continues....
