September 17-September 23

This week has been an interesting week for me, yet another good week! I was able to get most of my runs in, but due to a BIG surprise from my wife, I was unable to get my 2.5 hour run in on Saturday. That being said, I was able to do a 1.5 hour run on Sunday. So, the week wasn't totally a loss due to me not running the 2.5 hour run.

On Friday, my wife informed me that I was not going to be able to run on Saturday morning due to plans that she had made for me. I must say, it bothered me at first and I told her no way. She told me that I could still run, but I needed to be home by 7:30. I thought OK, thats cool, I will just get up and run at 5 a.m. Seeing that we went out on Friday night and did not get home to late, I realized there was no way that I could get up and go for a run at 5 a.m. So, what was the surprise? Well, my birthday is coming up on Thursday of this week(27th) and lo and behold, my wife had planned a surprise for me. First, we both went to breakfast and then I had to get in the car and let Sabrina blind-fold me. I stayed blind-folded for what it seems at least 3 hours. We took a trip and by the time we had arrived at our destination, I was ready to get that blind-fold off. To my surprise, Sabrina and my brother and sister-in-law had planned a night at a lake house! Wow, what a nice lake house! My brother's 5 children were there and man, we had a blast! Thanks Sweetie for a GREAT weekend!

Here are this week's results:

I was planning to do about 16 miles on Sunday, but man, it was hotter than I thought when I started, so I settled for a 10miler. I have definitely got to catch up with my training, but I am going to take my time catching up. The last thing I need is to get injured. A good week for the most part!

KEEP RUNNING!!
