Happy Birthday Mom!
I’m supposed to run the Surfside Half Marathon tomorrow. After being sick for most of the week, I think it’s going to have to be a race-day morning decision. The funny part is that I’m actually less worried about running the miles and more worried about lack of sleep. I know I can just take things easy and do run/walk intervals and relax, but the problem is that the race is in Surfside, which means getting up quite early to drive down there. Race starts at 7:00, which means I need to get there by 6:30, which means leaving Clear Lake by 5:15.
Today has been up and down (and up and down). I woke up feeling, well, ok. So I came to work, where I had a 2-hour meeting. By the end, I was feeling not-so-ok. Then Jen gave me some Tylenol and we had lunch and I am feeling ok again. I don’t have a lot of energy. So: race-morning decision. A part of me is saying I should stay here, sleep in, and do a very easy 6-7 miler tomorrow afternoon. The other part is saying I should at least try getting to Surfside.
I am always indecisive about stuff like this. Stay? Go? I don’t know.
I came into work last night for the late ascent sim. It was Bini’s first in the “hot seat” so, as her mentor, I was backseating her. She did an outstanding job for it being her first sim; way better than my first sim. Very cool.

Hey Beck,
You’re always so supportive of your co-workers; I think there’s a running coach in there trying to get out
Good luck and have fun tomorrow at Surfside. Er, at your easy neighborhood run. Um, at Surfside. Yes, at Surfside! Wait…
Gavin says
Yeah, Bini’s been studying hard.
Jennifer says
Eek. 13 miles is a long way. You don’t want to make yourself really sick. Is there another you could do next weekend instead?
Barbara says
Hey Sarah, the URL says it starts at 8am. I’m definitely going to ask them tonight when I go to packet pickup. I’ll giveyou a call to confirm the time, or leave you a voicemail.
