Thursday

2 miles, 1:2 minute run/walk ratio, 35:19 minutes

I was a bit slow today—I didn't sleep well last night, and my stomach was a bit off—but less than a minute slower than Tuesday's run, so I guess I wasn't that slow.

Still getting up at 7 am-ish. It was hard today, but I was out of bed by 7:10 and out running by 8:20.

I'm vacillating these days between "Yay! I'm going to do a half-marathon and Long Beach will be so much fun!" and "Blah, I'm tired, I don't want to do this, and Long Beach is going to be way too expensive." It's hard to keep going. I really lost a lot of momentum while I was sick. Plus, the person I thought might come to Long Beach with me (and share hotel expenses, which would really be a help financially) is almost certainly not coming. I wish I could bring my mom with me—I know she'd enjoy it. But then I'd have to find someone else to take care of the cats and fish while we're gone. Hm.
