Uneventful week

Nothing too exciting this past week. I woke up on Wednesday morning to some pretty crazy thunderstorms, but when I checked the weather, it looked like I would get about a half hour break to get my 4 mile run in. When I went out to run, the sky looked pretty mean to the west, and it did start to rain about a mile into my run. I could hear some distant thunder, but never really saw much lightning, so I finished out my 4 miles in the rain. I don't really mind running in the rain, but I love the looks I get from people as they drive by in their cars. Their look either says, "Wow, you're dedicated!" or "Wow, you're crazy. What's wrong with you?". :)

Saturday was a fairly uneventful 8 mile run. I did have to do it without my trusty waterboy on a bike/husband as he was golfing in a tournament that morning. So, I got to experience running with a water bottle in my hand the whole time, as I do not own one of the water belt thingys (I know that's the technical name...). I do have to say that the water bottle really threw me off (both in rhythm, and my arm got tired), so I am going to have to decide what to do for those times when I don't have a waterboy on a bike with me!

That's about it for now!
