Running This Weekend

This week is a taper week for me - 9 miles. Weather looks like it will be perfect.I’ll probably do ten since I’ve found a route I really like. It still floors me sometimes that I can look at ten miles so flippantly.

Beyond that, don’t expect many updates here. We’re off to a friends place on Wind Lake for a little R&R and maybe down to Chicago for a family picnic. To top that off, I think we may start painting yet another room in the house. I’ve also got some prints to order for a client (my first paying photo gig!)

In sad news, I wanted the commemorative New Balance Jacket for the marathon though I felt a bit guilty since I still haven’t run it yet. I got it last week and while it was really nice, like most clothing for me, the sleeves are way too short, so it went back yesterday. I still want to get a decent high-performance jacket for when the weather gets colder. I’ve grown to love running outside too much to seriously consider spending all winter on a treadmill. I remember trying one on at REI last year, so I might start there. I just wish I could remember who made it.
