The trade show weekend is going very very well. The booth is drawing in lots of people, I was able to arrange to have dinner with my sister and some friends, and the hotel is very nice. I have been eating well, and have not joined the groups heading out on the town each evening. I went for a one hour bike ride Thurs, travelled here, did the treadmill thing on Fri, took yesterday off and will try the treadmill again after we shut down our booth this evening. By the 30th, I will have logged over 100km in September wunning - I would say 50% running (slowly, oh so slowly) and 50% power walking. I never, ever thought I would be able to say anything like that.
The Toronto Marathon is today, and this morning I walked over to the finish line and watched the 1/2 marathon run. All shapes and sizes cranked it over the course, and the marathoners were blowing by in their own lane at the same time. I have no desire to race, but I would like to think that I had the ability to cover the distance. I am going to spend the next month getting better at covering 5km at running speeds, and then start the ‘from 5k to 8k’ training plan for my nike ipod thingy from podrunner.com. Maybe that will get me through the winter even if I am mostly forced onto the boring treadmill.
I should be getting caught up on the tremendous backlog of work I am facing but I can’t make myself do it. I am causing big problems for myself, I need to get myself back to the grindstone.
