Another training week has begun for the half marathon, which is now just 7 weeks away. I've consistently run 24.1 miles in the previous 2 weeks now, and will continue to ramp up my mileage, eventually reaching 11 miles on my long runs. The runs are going OK, and I find that I'm able to do them without stopping, so that's good. Getting into the runs is the hard part though, as I struggle through the first couple of miles, but eventually get into the groove. But, unfortunately, I'm now coming down with a chest and head cold. I don't know where that came from, as no one in my family is sick, and no one at work is sick. Ugh. That's not what I was looking forward to right at the mid point of my training. If it comes down to it, I can use this as a taper week if I get sick enough to not run. Let's hope it doesn't come to that.
We've also had a recent cold snap here, with freezing drizzle yesterday, and now wind chill values below zero again this morning. Just can't believe this, and am so ready for winter to be over. Well, I was ready for winter to be over when it began 3 months ago. I just want it to be warm. It's coming, but just not soon enough.
Went out to dinner last night at the Chinese buffet. We haven't eaten there in a long time. Now I know why, I ate way too much. We were in utter disgust at the family at the table next to ours. The four kids were completely out of control, throwing food, spilling food, dumping food on the floor, etc. Then, they spread to the next table, pulling out the sugar packets, tearing them open, spilling it everywhere. Why can't people keep control of their kids in public. I wish I would have said something to them, but didn't want to make a scene and just wanted to eat in peace. They were complete morons, and oblivious to how miserable they were making everyone else in the restaurant. I can only imagine what their home life must be like.
