Well it looks like it's going to be a scorcher this week. I seriously hope that it cools down by Memorial day or else it's going to get pretty ugly at the LA marathon. I scratched my run yesterday because my body felt run down. Instead I spent the day catching up on movies. I watched Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa and Quantum of Solace. It wasn't a total waste of a day because I did workout the core and upper body later in the evening. It has helped with my running tremendously even though I've put on about 8 - 10 pounds since hitting the weights again.
This morning I went out on an approximately 3.4 mi run at a 7:55 pace. Legs felt okay, but the breathing felt labored at the start. The left leg was not liking the concrete sidewalk. I finally wore my singlet that I bought at the Honolulu marathon expo. I usually wear a medium size but this was a large and it fit rather tight. While I was running, I really missed running in Hawaii even though it was raining for pretty much the whole time that I was there. It was great eating ramen with the Japanese folks and curry with my friend in Hawaii. Most likely I'll go back there to run the marathon every December unless I get into the NYC marathon. Sorry, I won't be a marathon maniac after 2009 is over. I'll be going back to running about 4 marathons a year. Maybe even less and attempt to qualify for Boston. But I will definitely have to work hard to capture that elusive unicorn!
