Lazy Bum!

So this weekend was a mess for running!  I was such a lazy bum!  On Saturday I scheduled to run 13 miles.  I decided that since we were babysitting our niece and nephew, I would postpone it until Sunday.  We planned on doing a lot of sledding and active activities, so I didn't want to be tired out!  Well, Sunday morning I woke up at 6:00am and it was -10 degrees out!!!  I have never run in that cold of weather and I didn't dare do it!  I have a treadmill but it is really loud and I did not want to wake up the kids, so I went back to bed.  I told myself I would run Sunday evening...but by the time we got home it was almost 6:00pm and I was whooped!  So I did not do my long run at all this weekend!! 

Last year when I was training for my first marathon, I did my long runs on Saturdays no matter what.  This year I thought I would try to be more flexible and do Saturdays OR Sundays.  I guess that does not work too well for me!  I will stick to just Saturdays from now on!  I am still pretty upset with myself though.  Weston said it just perfect, he said it's a minor setback, but I still have 4 months and I will still be running the marathon!  So I shouldn't beat myself up over it.  Thanks honey!  This morning I woke up and it was 14 degrees outside, what a difference!  I went out and ran 5.5miles today, and it was great!  Perfect weather:)

Well, Randy Morris, the Grandville HS principal called me this weekend and said that April 23 works to use the track for the Run/Walkathon - but he made a good point - that is Easter weekend!  So I asked him to look into April 30th instead.  So I am still waiting to hear back from him, but I am thinking it will be held on April 30, 2011 - so mark your calenders!!

Also, Weston and I went to eat this weekend at The Venue, a sports bar on Lake Michigan Drive in Standale, we asked the owner if she would be okay with me organizing a Euchre Tournament at her bar sometime, she said No Problem!!  So my Uncle Brian has offered to help me organize it and I will let you know that exact date and information.  I'm thinking the end of Feb or beginning of March.
