[Today’s run: St. Paul’s Church, 5 miles]<\/p>\n
We had a big weekend.<\/p>\n
Wife came back from her Phoenix marathon last week and was pretty wiped out.\u00a0 But she had a 50k\u00a0 (31 miles) scheduled for yesterday so I figured it would be smart to go along and do the driving in case her wheels came off.<\/p>\n
So I took Friday afternoon off and we drove down to Laurel, MS for the MS-50. It’s a combination 20k\/50k\/50m event in\u00a0 a national forest down there, 2+ hours south of us.\u00a0 We met up with various other runners and got ourselves set up in a hotel room.<\/p>\n
We were up and checked out of the hotel by 4:30 AM and made our way to the start, which involved some minor 4-wheeling in the Lexus sedan.<\/p>\n
I sat and read a book most of the day while she ran her 50k in good shape.<\/p>\n
Then we drove back home and arrived around 8:45 PM.<\/p>\n
We are both very tired.<\/p>\n
I went to church today, came home, had lunch, and did a 5 mile run (since I missed my running group yesterday).<\/p>\n
I didn’t finish my Coursera course homework for this week.\u00a0 I don’t know if that means they will kick me out of the free class.<\/p>\n
One other thing:\u00a0 I put in a low-ball bid on a yet another 1993 Ford F-150 truck, this time over in Starkville.\u00a0 And, guess what… I won.\u00a0 So this week I will be trying to work out how to go and get it.\u00a0 I really hope I can put a battery in it and drive it home.\u00a0 But we will see.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
