- RACE DAY: Grete's Great Gallop Half Marathon
Friday - October 5
Weatherman's calling for 85 degrees (!) tomorrow for the race. Not what you'd expect for an October weekend in NY.
I'm crazed at work today. I've got jury duty next week, and, of course, I've got a million things that are happening right now. I hope I hope I hope I don't get picked for a trial. Why couldn't this have happened when I was at my last job? I would have gladly sat on a trial for a month back then. I've got it all planned, though. Day 1: ACLU t-shirt, Day 2: Confederate flag hat, Day 3: NRA hat and "Rage Against the Machine" t-shirt. With any luck, I'll be out by Friday.
Agh! Half-marathon tomorrow! Tomorrow! Yipe!
Have a great weekend, everyone!

Today is also a rest day, because my wife has another activity (Scrabble night w/the girls. Yep--she's the brains of the operation. I'm just the muscle and the charm. Shut up, Emily. I don't delude myslef, though. I think it's going to be about 20% scrabble, and 80% drinking wine and gossiping. And that's only if someone remembers to bring a Scrabble set.).
I may get a chance to go for a short run when she gets home.
I feel kinda blah. Not sick, just blah, so I was happy for the night off. I spent much of the evening persusing tri-gear websites and putting my list together for Santa. My relatives (wife included) are the kind of people who, if they don't have all their holiday shopping done by Thanksgiving, start getting antsy.
Blah, notwithstanding, I'm getting really psyched for this race!

Le ce soir est la classe française de mon épouse, ainsi je ne m'exercerai pas. Zut, alors. Mais, comme je dis toujours, "épouse heureuse, la vie heureuse".
So, I occasionally have this "I think I wanna do an Ironman someday" feeling every now and again. And usually, it goes away after awhile. Only now it isn't.
