...two things I don't partake of (well...coffee on special occasions). But still, they both always smell good to me. Coffee whenever I smell it at 6 AM as I'm still trying to wake myself up, and cigarettes whenever I'm freezing cold and exhausted. If it weren't for the caffeine addiction and lung cancer maybe I would have given in by now. At any rate, Jimmy Eat World has a new CD out, and the song "Coffee and Cigarettes" is my favorite so far. They would probably rate as #2 on my all time favorite bands list, right behind Switchfoot and probably right ahead of Anberlin.
My daughter had a cold with croup this week, which was kind of pitiful. At first I thought she couldn't breathe when she woke up barking like a seal, but thankfully things have turned out just fine and she is doing much better.
In other news my training for the Kiawah Marathon is in full swing, and my legs are tired. This leads me to mention probably my best purchase of this year...my Camelbak Fairfax.
I don't know how I would have gotten those summer long runs done without it. I don't mind it on my back at all, and it even allows me to carry things like keys and my phone with me.
I added one more running day into my week for these last 12 weeks leading up to the marathon and I've stuck by my plan so far. I ran 16 today to complete a week of 34 miles, and next week I will have my first long run of 20 miles. I feel a little apprehensive about it, but my long runs have been going really well the past few weeks so I think it should be fine.
I don't want to talk about Clemson Football or my fantasy football team, so that pretty much sums up this brief update. I've been thinking about moving this blog over to wordpress and doing a little more with the design, but if that happens it probably won't be until Christmas break...hopefully I'll get a few blog posts in before then!
