Blah.
I gave up on trying to get in the Nike Woman's Marathon. I'd have to run 10-12 miles on both Saturday and Sunday for at least 5 more weeks. Plus, I'd have to drive an hour each way for each Saturday and Sunday. It was totally stressing me out, figuring if I could/should do it (I'm not sure how happy my body would be, plus it's freaking 4 hrs of driving each weekend and getting up at 6am in the morning).
But I think I'm quite sad because I really did want to get in, and I think I would have been better off if I hadn't actually signed up to be PL (it would have been easier). AND I could have actually trained for the marathon instead of only the half.
But, at least now that I've made my decision, I can stop debating every Saturday if I should try to go to Danville anymore.

Ode to my toenail.
Stupid toenail.
Why must you fall off?
I treated you well. Bought shoes that were right specifically for you.
Yet you insist on falling off.
And with no good reason. You didn't even turn black!
This makes me sad.

Random run thoughts
1. I hate running, but I *LOVE* the way I feel afterwards. It feels good to sweat.
2. I must sweat a lot. Especially in my ears (ewww). Third pair of headphones I have broken. Sigh.
3. GPS watch is so freaking cool. Keeps me somewhat informed about my pace. I realize I am not so steady of a runner as I'd wish to be.
4. My ankle wrap SUPER stinks. I washed it, but it doesn't seem to help so much. But, I kind of love it. And I'm kind of afraid to run without it. It's a serious love hate relationship.
