nothing new

yesterday, due to a race this weekend, i had to run my long run. i got up, ran 15 miles, showered, ate and relaxed for a bit, then went to work. work was busy. 5 normal classes plus a trial/model lesson.

watched funny cat videos on youtube then went to bed. felt so good!

this weekend i am running an ekiden. its a relay. i am on a team of 5 women and the first runner runs tot he 2nd runner and so on, until we all finish. we pass a sash as we run and if we are too slow, the blue sash becomes white.... disqualifying us.

last year, i was the 3rd runner. we were a coed team and had to be fast. we didnt get disqualified and got free lunch! it was so cold last year. i had to sit in a non heated gym (which may have been colder than outside) for about an hour and a half.

this year we are an all womens team. i am the 1st runner. 4.7km. this year i dont have to wait so long before i run. so thats good. but i will be bringing a blanket to wait for my team to finish!

on another note, i have run 35 miles so far this week. and i will run another 10 or so over the next 3 days. no pain. feeling good. just taking my time. audio books are the best!
