I can officially say that Alex and I are crazy... not like we didnt know it before with the whole chicken coop idea and marathon idea and stuff. But earlier in the week we had decided to do our long run (well sort of short in marathon terms) on Wednesday night. So of course today is wednesday and we met at a local park for a trail run. I would say that it was the hardest shortest run ever. I know 8 miles sure seems like a long run for most but when you can run over 20 miles, 8 is short. So of course me and my weather thinking about going outside I had been watching the forcast since about 2pm today. I had seen a pretty bad line of storms but they were in the mountains and didnt really think that they would affect us as we set out. Well you could say I was dead wrong because for the record I have officially run in freezing weather, pooring cold rain, hot heat, mild temps, and now a total downpoor thunderstorm. Take that half marathon training!!
I really am so thankful everyday that I have the best running partner who is also my best friend. It is so awesome and special. I am not sure there is anyone else who I know who would run that crazy hilly course in a thunderstorm.
My body is officially pooped and on top of the whole crazy run this evening, I wanted some alone time today and ran 2.6 miles at high noon. Better drink up!!
Tomorrow I am going to the zoo with Val and her kids that she takes care of... it should be interesting, educational, and fun. Those kids are sooo happy and excited to go!
