The 10-miler

How come my long runs always end up happening when its pouring outside? Sunday was a 10 mile run, and it went well but it started off drizzling and ended up pouring for most of the time. I came home dripping wet again, and as of this morning my tennis shoes still weren't dry.

I started in Magnuson Park and ran home, only getting lost once in Ravenna Park, which is MUCH larger than the map indicates. The map also indicates that you can turn left onto 15th from the park. I found out, however, that you actually run UNDER 15th. Oh well. Made it home in one piece, and neither my knees nor my feet felt too bad. I think I might actually be ready for this run on Saturday! Really hope it doesn't rain. So tired of the rain.

So this week is protein and carb loading. I don't know if it works or not, but its a good excuse to eat pasta. Race time is 7 a.m. on Saturday, we will be heading to the shuttle busses sometime around 4 in the morning. I'm in one of the last corrals, so I would guess it'll be an hour after the race starts before I hit the starting line, giving me about four hours to kill. Wonder if they put chairs in the corrals while we wait?
