Weekend was super busy but lots of fun. Hung out w/the girlfriend Friday night and tried to help the kid w/the homework. Not sure if we made any big progress but maybe we did? I have zero experience having heart to heart talks with 9 yr old girls and I am learning that parenting is super tough. Why did no one tell me this? Saturday the girlfriend and I went on a very romantic date that was a lot of fun and Sunday we managed to have a little tiff and the evening did not go as well as either of us would’ve wanted it to. Such is life sometimes I guess. I did manage to get a nice, slow 9 mile run in the middle of all of that.

This week is race week. I have the 10 mile Turkey Trot on Saturday. I am going to be taking it easy training wise and trying to taper and not to freak out. I have no idea what to set for goals. The long runs have been fine on my legs but the stomach has not cooperated and the weather change has left my allergies with me unable to breathe. Weather is supposed to be 50 for a low and 70 for a high so the weather will be nice at least. Currently the only “injury” I’ve picked up is some PF so we’re working on the calves this week.
