It may seem that I have gone dark for the past week and that would be a correct perception. I went rogue as I sometimes do and I am definitely regretting it. What started off as Monday with a 6 mile run quickly turned into after work beers with my parents. Tuesday and Wednesday were rained out and Thursday, well I guess I am not the kind of girl who skips a wine tasting with her Mom so she can run. It's not in my nature, I can't pretend I am something I am not. Friday, Saturday Sunday I was playing "Mommy" to my next door neighbors while their parents are out of town. Did I make more per hour than I do at my full-time big girl job? Yes. Did I manage to get away from those children for more than 2 minutes? No. Right there a week of my training gone.
Luckily it is early enough in the game where there is no real harm done. I am putting this week behind me and moving forward with a greater resolve to be a better runner and more focused on my training. I now see that distractions are more likely to occur after work and I may need to consider.....GASP.....early morning runs. Can't belive I just said that. But I am serious about this race and I am serious about doing well so I need to buckle down and make the sacrifice. From this moment forward I am in marathon mode and it is going to take much more than a Sparkling Wine Tasting to knock me off coarse.
