Preliminary = Complete

It's totally official! (Can you tell I like official things?)  We have now completed our preliminary training program, which means that we have been training for 22 weeks so far.  I now feel pretty good running for 30 minutes straight.  Today I also was reminded how much I sweat when it's hot outside.  It's pretty gross.  I think I need to buy more running shorts.

On Monday of next week we officially start running for mileage instead of time.  We start by running 3 miles, then 4, then 3, and then 5 on Saturday.  Phew.  I've only run 5 miles once in my life.  One week from today that will change to twice.  Hurray!  I'm not too concerned about 3 or 4 miles since I run somewhere in between there for my 30 minute runs.  But 5...  I'm nervous and excited at the same time.

I just heard that the Phillies were apparently in a really long scoreless drought.  They went 31 innings without scoring.  That's embarrassing.   Seriously.

I just realized that I wanted to be showered and ready to go right now.  Maybe the internet is a bit more of a distraction than I thought.
