Friday Adventures on Waverly's Birthday
I wrapped up the day by taking Waverly to dinner for her birthday this evening at The Cheesecake Factory in The Woodlands.
If you're reading this and coming out to Run The Woodlands 5K in the morning, you'll be able to wish her birthday in person! She's also agreed to sing the National Anthem tomorrow!
I got back to Houston at around 5 o'clock. (Yes, that's 7 and a half hours from Jackson, Mississippi - and that includes stopping for about almost an hour just across the Louisiana-Mississippi state line.) I had to return the car to Alamo, ride the shuttle bus, get my truck out of the garage and make it home - which took me until about 6 p.m. or so.
It isn't conventional to do two days before running a marathon, but on the "MOD" training schedule, I ran an hour on the treadmill this evening at Bally's. (I didn't get anything in last night with all of the travel delays.)
I will probably do Run The Woodlands 5K in the morning - because of the "you must go" admonishment from Mr. Attanucci. (Goodness knows that I won't be trying to keep up with Katy. Instead I'll be worrying about Ken.)
It won't be the first time that I've done a 5K, got on a plane and ran a marathon the next day.
In December 2006, I ran the Willis Wildkat 5K then flew to Jacksonville, Florida for the Jacksonville Bank Marathon. (I'm better prepared, I think, for this one on Sunday. We'll see, I guess.) That was just a week after doing the Sunmart 50K followed by the Jingle Bell Run 5-Miler the next day (that I did with Waverly).
We only have one time on this earth. Might as well make the most of it! :)
