Well I guess it was a rain break, certainly wasn’t as wet as it was yesterday which kept me indoors and in bed late. Today was the third 6.5 mile run I have done this week, I’ll probably do at least one more if not two. I have been keeping some good times and paces really close to Monday when I ran fast. It hasn’t seemed like it, but apparently I was pretty close to 8.5 minute miles all three runs.

I filled out my entry form for Seattle, now I just have to mail it. Part of me keeps waiting so I don’t curse myself. But it didn’t happen for the Portland Marathon, so I am sure it won’t happen here either.

My friend Paul, who I am staying with in Seattle, the one who HAD to go see Sea and Cake called me with bad news yesterday. We won’t be able to make the concert afterall, as it turns out he has an engagement he HAS to go to. He went on and on about how it would be better for me to get some sleep and that the show would be really late and that the venue wasn’t very good (very different from his previous advice of “it won’t be so bad to run on little sleep” and “the show won’t go that late” and “what a great place to see Sea and Cake this will be”). So reluctantly I agreed to stay at his place while they go out and get a good night’s sleep before I do 13.1 miles. Gosh I would have loved to stay out really late and run on 2-3 hours of fitful sleep. Whatever will I do! I was so glad I even offered to babysit their kid.
