I didn't get as much sleep last night as I need. I dragged myself out of bed and made it outside. Surely after yesterday H.R. would be out at six and for me to miss him would be lame. So I was outside his apartment right at six but all the lights were dark in his apartment. I waited around for ten or so minutes and headed back to our place to grab my watch, which I had forgotten, and my mp3 player. I decided to only run 4 miles in order to run longer tomorrow. I signed up for the Mt. Rushmore Marathon last night and since that's on October 4, I need to get a long run in tomorrow--maybe 4 hours? I wonder how that marathon will compare with others I've done in the past. I'm going to shoot for 4:30 in the marathon, with the expectation that the main idea is to finish and keep some momentum going into winter training. That's definitely going to be the hardest time of year to keep in shape. The weather today was cool but not cold. I probably could have worn just a t-shirt. I ran the 4 miles in 37:20, with splits of approximately 10, 9:10, 9:30, and 8:40. I listened to the last half of "Songs for Silverman" by Ben Folds and the first few tracks of "OK Computer" by Radiohead. I like Ben Folds less as the years go on.
