This past week has been extremely busy with work and everything else.  No recipe or pictures for last night, since I figure you all know how to make a BLT sandwich.

As for training, I’ve officially dropped out of the Triathlon for August.  I just don’t enjoy the biking, I’d rather be running, and I didn’t want to spend my summer dreading the bike portion of the race.  Instead, I think I’ll pretty much follow a marathon training program, run at least a half marathon, and if I feel like it, I might just run a marathon in the fall.  Of course, it will be a last minute decision.  I was very close to signing up for the Grand Rapids Marathon, but figure I’ll wait it out a couple more weeks.

So, um, summer is officially here and it’s hot, muggy and miserable in Northern  Michigan.  Both yesterday and  today I ran in 85+ degree temperatures in the middle of the afternoon (yes, I wore sunscreen).  Not fun, I’m a morning runner for a reason.

Tonight is a late night at work, followed by another late night tomorrow.  Then a very busy 4th of July week.  Woah, it’s July already?

I need to pick out a marathon training schedule for “fun.”

 Tonight, I’ll leave you with a great picture.  Because you know, sometimes it’s more comfortable to sleep half in your bed, half on the floor.
