Super fun 13-miler today, not only because it was on my local trail (which was gorgeous with a light covering from last night’s snow) but made all the more special because I got to run with Audra and Loren.  I love running with those two – funny chat is guaranteed.   We even came in handy in a crisis, disengaging a fallen cyclist from her tire valve.  All in all, a fine and fabulous capper to a 52-mile week.  Smooches to you, girls!

This coming week includes a novel activity on Saturday – the Pickle Prediction Race.  There are so many things I like about this one, in no particular order.

#1. Weird distance (I’m doing the 3.08) , so no PR pressure at all.
#2. Prediction run, first time racing without Garmin/watch.  I need this!
#3. Get to see my friend Matt and maybe his wife Marianne, too.
#4. Never been to this park, it’s about a 40-min drive from Philly.
#5. Funny race description.  I live for humor.

I still haven’t started dissecting how to run these next few weeks before jumping into my Half plan.  No hurry, I guess – as long as my mileage is up and I keep some hard stuff in there, I should be good to go.  But I’ll sit down with it in the next coupla days and make some workout decisions, because you know I love me some scheduling.

And this marks the end of my Sunday ramblings.  Back to the Eagles/Giants game as they eek it out to the finish.
