I ran ten miles on Saturday and felt pretty good afterwards. I really wanted to go home and sit on the couch and sip chocolate milk and read a magazine the rest of the day, but, I had to help host a youth church dance, so I ran around like a chicken with it's head cut off and gathered supplies, made cotton candy, and generally worried about it going off OK. I didn't get to bed until after midnight and should have slept in on Sunday, but woke up early and was busy once more. Not so much the day of rest I would have liked. This made for a bad start to the week and I felt like I was walking in a haze until Wednesday when I finally woke up and felt recovered. Note to self. On my next long run, do not have a major event planned that same day.
On Monday, I still went and met up with the half marathon training group and ran up the mountain... and ended up in my "Where's Amy?" running photo of the week...

How do I know it's me you might ask? That guy in red followed me all the way up and all the way back down. I thought it was kind of cool at the time since he looked a lot younger and I felt faster. I was pretty happy with beating him up the mountain. Now looking at this photo, he was a lot closer to me than I thought he was. Kinda creepy. Especially since he never said a word to me. I also blew the photo up in Photoshop just to make sure. Yep. It's me. How does this keep happening? Certainly not because of my photo worthiness... after all, it's the cute girl and guy who rated the camera click! I may have to make my own search and find book at this rate.
Just because it's only 18 seconds, here's the promo video for the half marathon....
