Sometimes life takes precedence over running.

I really wanted to run with the SRMs in their Virtual 5K for Sandy Hook.  I haven’t seen those runners in a long time!!

I was there in spirit – Thanks Felice for organizing!

Today is also my long run (according to my training schedule.)

But with last weekend being spent in bed, today I needed to:

• sleep late  (working all week & being sick has taken its toll)
• go grocery shopping (the fridge is empty)
• do laundry (my hubby has no undewear)
• clean up the house (clutter, clutter everywhere)
• get my nails done (about a month overdue)
• return books to the library
• return a Christmas present
• buy stuff for my foodie penpal
• take down the Christmas decorations (finally)
• cook dinner (haven’t done that all week)

Believe it or not, I DID IT ALL!

I even went on a purging rampage – got rid of old cookbooks, old computer books, about 20 coffee mugs, old medecines, old expired food and more.

Now I can relax and plan my next run

Tomorrow I am going to do the HMRRC Winter Series Race – the 10k and it’s at 10am, close by and FREE!

I missed my 5 mile run last weekend but I am going to try to run 6.2 miles anyway to stay on schedule.

I know it’s just a training run but if I said I just wanted to finish I’d be lying.

So here are my goals:

A.  Run the whole thing.
B.  PR (under 1:09)
C.  Not finish last.
D. Finish upright.

Happy Running! Do you ever put running second?  Do you have goals for every race?
