Work

I thought my legs would be fresh after taking yesterday off, but they weren't.

The Levy Loop took me 18:11, with splits of 9:28 and 8:43. I planned to run it twice easily, but recognized after a block there was no way I could go 4 miles and remain comfortable, so instead pushed it and cut the distance in half.

I found out today that I can go to Seattle for the Whidbey Island Marathon, run April 13. I thought I could for certain until last night, when driving home from a basketball game it struck me that the Arkansas Derby is raced on April 12. My boss let me out of it this afternoon. I guess I will watch it on television, provided my host will allow such a thing.

Now I'm preparing for two marathons: the Little Rock, four weeks from Sunday, and the Whidbey Island, nine weeks from Sunday.
