This morning I was suppose to meet my race partner at the park..7am. The plan was was to do 13 miles in preparation for the half marathon next weekend. HOWEVER ..... I woke up to the patter of rain on the skylight. YES!!
We were giddy on the phone at 6:30am.
"It's raining"
"hee, hee. I know!!"
We don't do rain. So we went back to bed and agreed to do the required mileage on our own treadmills later in the day. I had my Ipod, tv, radio, and ceiling fan. There are no hills on a treadmill. I should have been set, but treadmill trotting is BORING!! Tedious!! Painfully monotonous!! And it doesn't matter what kind of entertainment you have. Also, it's harder....don't know why. Maybe it has something to do with the forced regular pace.
In the end I made it 10 miles. A considerable amount of walking was part of the equation, but I'm happy nonetheless. That's the last long run before the race. Wish me luck.

Wow. You have made lots of progress! Does that mean we won't see you at the dinner next week? It's our first in ages. Good luck in your race!
Good luck in your race. You know that the true hell is when you do the half marathon!!
Good luck! We are waiting to hear the results. You rock even thinking about it. I would have take the sign of rain as a signal to stay in bed all day! No walking inside or out. You are a better person than I!
You can do it!!!! YAY!!!!
Hey, the rain started here in Germany and I think it's supposed to last until...oh, say, ...March? Not such a good place for the outdoor activities. Good luck on the race and have Jeff take a photo.
Good luck, girlie! Definitely post a survival picture after!!
I'm wishing you the best of luck!
