Greetings, friends! I come to you as the humble bearer of a brand new personal record in the half marathon. Hotcha!
But more about that tomorrow. For now, let’s check in on the training log:
Sunday | ran 5.54 miles outside in 60 minutes
And then I saw Counting Crows and Matchbox 20 at Jiffy Lube Live! Gotta say, while I’m waaaay more of CC fan, MB20 had far superior showmanship. Rob Thomas knows how to present.
Monday | ran 5.48 miles outside in 60 minutes
Humid, but I wanted to front load my training at the beginning of the week so as to have plenty of rest days before the Parks Half.
Tuesday | walked 2.17 miles outside in 35 minutes; 70 minute ballet class
Wednesday | ran ran 5.48 miles outside in 60 minutes
Thursday | walked 2.07 miles outside in 35 minutes; 70 minute ballet class
Friday | walked 2.11 miles outside in 35 minutes
Saturday | rest, mostly
I did a little bit of ab work but hardly anything worth noting. Then it was off to bib pickup for Sunday’s half. It’s a local race but one with a pretty far reach, and the sports store where the hold pickup was mobbed. It was way too crowded to do any shopping, but I did snag an old race pint glass for $1. Sure, it’s for the year before I first ran it, but $1!
And in amusement park news, I just snagged a Groupon for tickets toĀ Busch Gardens Williamsburg, so look for that recap coming in a month or so. It’s dive coaster time!

The only way to fly!
Counting Crows and Matchbox 20 would be a dream come true.
They were my high school favorites.
I think they're still touring – maybe they're coming near you!
