Wow that was a long title just for a simple little post, huh?

Yes, I’m on a “rest day”. I don’t call them rest days, I call them lazy days. I threw myself off my running schedule today. I had some running around for the inlaws to do. Not that I’m blaming them. I’m not! I had to go and get coffee for the father in law, and pick up Jazz’s remains for the vets. Plus its hella windy out there. Plus for some reason, I’m starving. I don’t think I drank enough fluids today. Also, I don’t think I slept all that well last night, as I was feeling off, and had a bit of an upset stomach for most of the morning.

Enough excuses now, I plan on going for a pretty good run tomorrow, either before or after I pick up the inlaws from the airport. I’m leaving work at noon, and they don’t get in to Warwick until 2:30, I think so that’s more than enough time to squeeze in a quick run outside. I think I may do that, and then just relax until Crystal gets home, and then we can start the weekend. Hopefully the weather holds out like it is now (without the wind) so we can go for a good run Saturday. Then its a week of taper runs. For me, I’ve decided to just three 2 mile runs before the 1st.

Then next Saturday, we have to pick up our race packets, and bibs. I have to admit, even though I’ve run a lot in the past 2 months, I’m pretty much very scared of this half marathon. Its my first, and I really don’t know what to expect. The longest I’ve ever run is 7.1 miles. So we’ll see. I think I’m equal parts excited and scared. But I’ll do my little race tradition, and have a Guinness the night before, like I’ve done for every other race I’ve been in.

It’s been a pretty quiet week at work. That’s the way I like it. Been training my co-worker. He’s catching on pretty quick. He’s a talker. Me, not so much. But it is nice to have someone around. As much as I hate small talk, I hate not having anyone around to talk to.

Also, I bought a Ham today. I sure hope a ten pound spiral cut Ham will be enough for 8-10 people.

BRING ON ZOMBIE JESUS!
