Not quite 20...

Today, a 20-miler was scheduled for 10am (its warmer at this time...than 8am, trust me). HOWEVER, it was awful, almost as awful as my 14 miler a few weeks ago. WHY?

1. my knee/hip/IT band is flaring up and there is pain. FUGDGE BARs!

SO i made the executive decision to cut the run short and run to Michaels where I bought yarn to make my mom a scarf...for tonight. Yes, talk about last minute, eh?

In other news,

1. I am glad marathon training is almost over, it has utterly consumed my life. After Disney, I will be saying SAYANORA to full marathon training for...a while.

2. Instead, I will be focusing more on strength & speed.

3. I am sick of saying "no, I cant hang out tonight" (i don't say i have a LR the next morning, just bc I think ppl get sick and tired of that line)

4. I went to the mall the day before Christmas Eve to get presents bc my 10$ coupons expire today!

5. I really was not going to buy anything at all, but... omgee im so hungry, and theres no food in the house. greaattt.

will finish up later.
