Misty Miler - My Alias?



With determination to do a bit of running before the 5K on Friday, I made it out this morning. Into the misting rain! I ran around my neighborhood. I specifically ran 1.8 miles so that my monthly total will be a nice round number. Anal retentive? YES. That's me. Hello, my name is Susan, and I am anal retentive.

In a way I have been scolding myself for not running more than I have been. But, at the end of the day, I feel confident with my decision to "be lazy" because come Monday... it's marathon training time! I will look back on this slow time fondly, I bet. So runners of the world - take a break every now and then.

I finished the Dean Karnazes book yesterday. It was just amazing! I've had one request to borrow it. Are there any more? I also have "Running and Being" by Dr. George Sheehan to offer.

Great! You are putting in the races! I am so proud of you!

Have you recorded your audio yet, Coach?

I think most runners are AR by nature. It can good (help us meet our goals) and bad (cause us to overdo things).

Anyway, I look forward to hearing how your visit to Maine goes. Sounds like a great place to visit in the summer!
