So I got up to run this morning, went outside and warmed up, realized I forgot to put on sunblock (yes, I wear it even when it's cloudy), came back inside and SPFed up, and found that it was raining when I went back outside. Grrr. Since wet feet didn't really appeal to me or my shoes and socks, I headed to the Y for a loooooong 7 miles on the treadmill. At least I know my pace was consistent, though. ;-) (And did you know that they automatically shut off after an hour? Because they do.)
This week is a cutback week for me, but I think I'm going to take even more of a break than the schedule sets (cross training instead of running). My ankle is still being fussy--it doesn't hurt when I'm running, but it hurts for awhile after and it's kind of stiff and creaky. (Plus, I don't think walking around Ann Arbor alllllll day on Friday helped. Duh--should've gone easier today.)
Monday--hour swim
Tuesday--schedule calls for 4 miles, but I'll do weights and stationary bike or do drop-in spinning (if I can find a suitably early class) instead
Wednesday--rest!
Thursday--I'll give the 4 miles a shot, but do something else instead if it seems like it's going to be rough
Friday--hour swim
Saturday--4 miles, maybe weights
Sunday--moving day. (Hauling boxes counts as cross training, right?)
In other news, I found this today:

I'm simultaneously repulsed and fascinated. Apparently, you're not actually required to eat the dozen donuts to participate in the run--I would do the donut-free run just for the t-shirt and people-watching factor if it weren't, you know, all the way in North Carolina.

Get out in the rain, girl. Think they'll run the half on a treadmill if it rains that day?
I know, I know! I do reserve the right to be a princess on occasion, though, and yesterday was one of those occasions. ;-)
