I'll admit to having been a more then just a TAD nervous/upset with my "performance" at the tri on Sunday. I felt like I was in awful shape, mostly due to my own negligent training schedule. And I was seriously doubting my ability to get up to par for the marathon a the end of next month. However, last night's run gave me hope. I managed to kick out a 10K last night, in a decent time, with no walk breaks, and plenty of energy left over for more afterward. I haven't run outside after dark in quite a while, and I realize now how much I miss it. I tend to have lots of energy right around then, and it seems I can utilize it better outdoors then I can on a treadmill. As long as I keep to runs like that, and regular intervals, then I should be in decent shape for the marathon. Of course, I reserve the right to reevaluate that statement after my first 15-miler (the longest distance I've done to this point is 14-miles).
After the run I went home and finally watched Brokeback Mountain, something I've been trying to accomplish since it was in theaters. It was just as good as I've been told it was, and Health Ledger was just AMAZING. Even if the accent he was using did give off the impression that he was chewing on his own face. *shrugs* What can you do.
