Seven and a third in the pouring rain today. It was actually kind of pleasant, and I felt good throughout - good enough that I was averaging two minutes per mile faster than my intended pace. Huh? I felt fine, so I guess all is well... I also lost 5 lbs in the last two weeks, so I'm sure that has something to do with it, as well. Hooray!

I feel badly for all of those NJ marathoners slogging through the rain today - oy! But, I enjoyed my time... I guess it was just a hazardous blister zone. Anyway. I was supposed to (supposed to in my mind, that is,) go to work today, but instead I am here, in front of my computer, slacking. Awesome. I'm watching that old re-run of the 2007 Kona Ironman that they seen to show incessantly on high-channel cable. I don't care, I love it. Al Trautwig's narration soothes me. I'm also wearing my new over the counter orthotics I picked up at Super Runner's on Friday. I love them. My arch pain is completely gone, and my bunion-y big toes feel all free and wiggly. I'm just supposed to break them in for a few hours every day for the first week, and not run in them yet. I want to. But I'm not.

That's all I have to say. I'm busy searching for re-runs of Housewives of New York City to watch. Happy slack-day!
