Running Log: Week 5
This past week was the week of happy hours. I pummeled my body with Whitlow’s 1/2 price burgers, Clarendon Ballroom roof-top Miller Lites and soft pretzels, and Hard Times Cafe Chili Cheese Dogs. Not good for keeping lean or running. This week, I’ll try to ramp a run up to a longer (but still measly) 4 miles. I’m still not over the mental hurdle of 3 miles.
I also just found out (unofficially through the school’s application website) that my hard work earlier this year has paid off, and I’ll have much less time to train starting this Fall. Can’t wait for the big official envelope to show up in the mail.
Finally, I don’t think I ever highlighted this from my Flickr photostream, but this postcard personalized with my pictures and race stats from the Army Ten Miler definitely played into me signing up again. Marketing kudos to whoever thought this idea up.

What break are the stats after exactly?
If you’re reading the post on the front page, then there’s a break. If you’re reading this as it’s individual post, then there’s no break. Got it?
