A change of pace

Another week of triple 5 mile days.. AND next week too. So what do you do when you're really bored with your 5 mile route and you have to do it again this morning?? You sleep in and run a completely different route on your lunch hour!!

Brought in all my gear to work (minus the fuel belt), changed in the bathroom lounge and headed out. Went straight up Edwards to Feldkamp, into Washington park, made a loop around the park, back out on Feldkamp and back to work. Exactly 5 miles. Nice change of scenery and some nice hills for a change.

Tomorrow I'll probably do my usual 5 mile route but this was a nice change of pace..

I think we have everything ready to go for Lewis & Clark.. We all have reservations at the same hotel, all are registered for the race, and as of today I made us dinner reservations on The Hill in St. Louis for Saturday night. My friends let me pick the restaurant since it's my 'marathon debut' (as Kathy put it !) .. turns out she's been to the same restaurant and said it was good!! yeah.. picking one restaurant out of about 30 is kinda tricky!!

I can't believe 4 weeks from Sunday is marathon day!! It's kind of hard to believe that 14 weeks has gone by that quickly!! 14 down 4 more to go.. and 2 more crazy long runs. WOW.
