My shadow in the moonlight

Today was insane at work. I was mentally spent by noon and still had another 5 hours left. Not sure what I even did, but I was busy all day. Pretty sure tomorrow will be just as crazy.

When I left, I was looking forward to hitting the track for a run. I checked my fitness groups calendar for the rsvp list. Tracie was the only person who signed up and I knew she wasn't going. She's in CT for work this week. SO I went to the track.

No one else showed up. One guy was there when I got there, and as he was leaving another guy showed up. He left and one more showed up as I was leaving, the orange shirt guy (he wears an orange sweatshirt every time I see him and that's twice a week).

It really was a good night for a run. Cool and dry. I got in 3 miles. The back corner of the track was pretty dark but the moon was SO bright tonight. I actually saw my shadow in the moonlight. I thought that was kind of cool.

SO I finally remembered to check the time on my IPod when I started running. I ran for 35 minutes. I think next time I'll set the stop watch on the IPod to get an exact time. I want to push it and cut my time down.

My friend gave me her 1/2 marathon training schedule. It starts with 4 mile long runs and I'm already past that, so I think I can do that. And her schedule is an 11 week class and I have 15 weeks for this race. Ahh... Am I really thinking of doing a 1/2 marathon?? WOW! I really am! Freaking out. First I need to do the 10K then see if I really think I can do the 1/2, but I kind of want to.

This is pretty exciting. :)
