I’ve read that lots of marathon runners choose to eat pizza before a race. This is like the third time since starting this that I’ve eaten pizza before running and I’m starting to see why.

The last thing you feel like doing when you’re full of pizza is going for a run, but once you start and get past that first mile you feel like you can go forever. I was going to do six but at around 3.3 I started getting chased by a pit bull and I had one of my dogs with me so I high tailed it home.

My plan is to take it easy tomorrow and go for broke on Monday. I’m going to see how I feel that day but I’m thinking about running 10 miles or a half marathon at 13.1 miles. We’ll see. I should get more pizza…

What a chore. I had a long day at work and the last thing I felt like doing was strapping up and knocking out a mile. I ultimately decided to just take the dogs and walk it. I figure I ran a 5K yesterday and my plan is to run a long distance this weekend.

The weather here is so weird. It’s been warm this entire winter – hell, it’s been so hot and humid it’s felt like summer. Today? Woke up and it’s 38 degrees outside. What?!

My knees still hurt from the 10K I ran on Wednesday. I wanted to walk. Well, no, that’s not true – I wanted to get off work today, catch up on Brooklyn Nine Nine and pass the heck out.

Instead, my new pair of Brooks showed up today so I laced those bad boys up and put in a little work. I hesitated to set an intention like four knowing I wouldn’t quit until it was over. Instead, I figured I would run one seeing how I felt, and ended up running two.
