Week Dos

ahh... monday... a time to reflect on the past week's training and prepare myself for the cycle to begin again tomorrow.

I think i'll go with a top ten list or highlight reel of sorts of last week's training:

10. Waking up at 5:45 AM on Tuesday morning for a run down on the east river. (I think it was about 90 degrees already)
9. The things I witness on a Tuesday at 5:45 AM in the east village.
8. The sweet bright red shirt I bought at JackRabbit on Sunday, I am totally going to fool everyone into thinking i'm a good runner with this one (as swedish goggles taught me, it's all about indimidation)
7. My new running shorts (see above), and no longer having to wear shorts from freshman year of high school, although I must say they have held up surprisingly well.
6. The arrival of a case of Gatorade and two cases of Propel courtesy of my mama and the fine folks at CostCo.
5. Deft maneuvering on my part to avoid horse "presents" on the Central Park Bridle Path during Thursday's training run.
4. A delicious post-training run snack courtesy of Dave. (chocolate and caramel are good post-running fuel, right?)
3. Moving into the 9:30 minute group post-Saturday's run. Although I am sad to leave Albert and the 10 minute-rs.
2. Rocking out an 8 miler (the longest run with the group thus far) AND getting a free membership to the central park conservatory all in one day!
1. Sleeping in on Sunday.
