Today's run was completely disgusting.  My legs are still really dead.  I mean, it's been since Tuesday since I last ran.  I tried to run an "easy" three miles during lunch today and really struggled to maintain 7:00 pace.  I was pretty pissed when I got back home.  Jumped in the shower and headed back to work.  Work was a little rough this week.  Nothing really pissing me off, but just too much to do.  I was up until midnight two nights in a row working, then got called at 3:30 this morning for an hour, and now, I've just got called again.  I am so tired...  It's a wonder I feel so crappy when I try to run.  Now.

This evening was a good evening.  Kourtney had her snowball dance tonight.  She and her three girlfriends were gorgeous.  We got a lot of good pictures of them.  So, tonight, Austin went to grandma's while Mariah and I did some more Christmas shopping.  We finally found the iceCoaster for Austin, and picked up Hairspray for Kourtney.  I found something for myself as well.  I can't have it until Christmas though.  AC/DC's Plugged In DVD Set and Incubus's new DVD Look Alive (or something like that).  Resident Evil Umbrella Chronicles for the Wii must've gotten pushed back again because I haven't seen it anywhere.  Then it was Baskin Robbins on the way to Mariah's mom's to get Austin. 

It's funny, I played "The Final Countdown" by Europe tonight and Austin was freaking out.  It's been used in the commercials for the "Mario and Sonic at the Olympics" for the Wii over the past couple of weeks.

So tomorrow it's some speedwork with Jacki at Rose-Hulman.  Hope my legs feel better tomorrow.  I downloaded my applications for the "12 Ks of Christmas" in Carmel, December 15th and "The Hangover Classic" 10 Miler in Louisville New Year's Day.  I asked my boss if we were going to have to work on December 31st, or January 1st (for database maintenance) and he said he didn't know which day yet, but it didn't really matter.  So, I think I'll be able to leave town.  It'll be nice to run the Louisville race again, as it's been 11 years since the last time I ran that one.  So today's run left me feeling disgusted at first, but we'll see how tomorrow goes.

OK, I've resolved my problem at work.  I'm heading to bed.  Nahnoo Nahnoo

Today was a pretty big running milestone for me.  Jacki and I ran 12 miles today, the most I've run since I got a stress fracture in my sacrum.  February 25th was when it happened, a typical 14 mile training run.  But it was cold, raining, with still an inch of snow on the ground in some places.  This was not a good combination.  It was about 6 miles into our run when I slipped on the rain soaked snow which really jarred me.  I didn't fall down, but from that point on to the end of the run, I had severe pain in the entire right side of my pelvic area.  By the time I got done with the run and drove home, I could barely get out of the car and could barely move for two days.  So, it's kind of ironic that today was a similar day weather wise, cold, rainy and a little breezy, although, no snow on the ground.  I do have some tenderness and tightness in my injury site, but it has been a slow process rebuilding strength balance and flexibility.  So that gives me 37 miles for the week.  Next week will have to be a little conservative. 
I just found out today that Incubus is releasing a new live DVD "Look Alive".  I'll have to see about getting that for Christmas.  My upper body is still kind of sore from playing Mario and Sonic at the Olympics.
