Running later today

Last night, I decided that the time had come for something revolutionary.  I was not going to set the alarm to go running.  Yes.  That's right.  I slept in on a Sunday.  I can count the number of times I have done this since August on one hand.  Actually, I can count the number of times I have done this since August on one finger (the weekend I was in Pittsburgh since I completed my long run on Thursday).  So this is nice.  I plan to go later today.  It's only 5 miles, so I'm not too concerned, plus it's on the nice side for temperature again.

I've started checking the weather for the marathon already.  The forecast right now calls for a high of 61F during the day, with an overnight low in the 40s.  DO NOT CHANGE.  STAY JUST AS YOU ARE.  That would be like a freaking dream.

Yesterday,  I did another one of those 3-mile runs.  Whoo.  I didn't blog because I didn't turn on the computer.  There was much baking and preparing that needed to be done since last night was the Temple Terrace Golf Cart Christmas Parade and that is clearly an event that requires celebrating:

One accomplishment from yesterday's run was that I totally beat some other woman who was running too.  This is somewhat petty of me, I realize.  She struck me as maybe not so serious about running because she wore sweatpants, which is also terrible.  I should like that other people are running and applaud their efforts, regardless of what they are wearing.  She was also a walky/runny person (as in, someone who walks for a bit, then runs), and I have great disdain for the walky/runny crowd.  Well, not really .  Not great disdain.  Whatever works for you.  But as someone who is slow enough to sometimes be around walky/runny people in a race, they drive me nuts when they out of nowhere change pace from running to walking.  At least have some awareness while you do that.  Anyway, I beat yesterday's walky/runny person wearing sweatpants.  This might not seem like much of an accomplishment, but for me it was...although I realize that this is completely petty and somewhat dumb.  Meh.
