We’re down to the final countdown before the marathon: six days until the big M. And here I am, weeks behind on my training log, as usual. Better late than never, right?
Last weekend Paul and I headed west to Pedernales Falls State Park, a mouthful of a name that I can’t seem to say without pausing to get it right. It was a gorgeous weekend, and though we had just one night of camping, we went hiking twice, cooked a wonderful (if slightly burnt) dinner, and saw a skyful of stars and our very own Milky Way shining across the light years. I’m hoping to write more about that weekend on my other blog, so if you read both, I might be repeating myself. I hope you’ll forgive me!
The weather turned chilly on Saturday as we drove to San Angelo for the wedding, and the cool weather stayed with us the next day when we came home. What a difference it makes for running! I had the most wonderful run of my training season that day—I felt speedy and strong in the pleasantly autumnal weather. It made me so excited for my trip to Michigan and the marathon itself, which is slated to give us a temperature high of 55 degrees F. 55 degrees! I haven’t seen weather like that since…well, maybe since that weekend in San Angelo!
In unrelated news, my sister Theresa sent Lucy some presents, including a little cat carpet with a feather and a zipper pouch for catnip. Lucy loves her new carpet!
And here’s proof that Paul and Lucy are soulmates:
He loves the carpet too.
This week’s goal: finish my marathon training posts before the actual marathon! One down, two more to go…
