And Miles to Go Before I Sleep

The deal was I had to post once a day - so sometimes you'll get posts that make you scratch your head. Disclaimer given. 

I didn't do anything today, except watch a movie and 4 (about to be 5) episodes of Orange is the New Black, and accidentally run 10 miles.

How does a person accidentally run 10 miles?

Recall yesterday's fiasco with a 2 hour bike ride and no running. Well, despite the fact that yesterday should probably count as a bit of cross training, (1) it doesn't, because coach says biking doesn't count as cross training unless you have biking shoes that you can pull the pedals with instead of push, and (2) it wouldn't matter anyway, because cross training doesn't count as mileage and (3) I have to get my mileage up to 35 this week. Because of this, and also because the pools weren't open because it was Labor Day, I went and ran 3 miles for my morning effort, and accidentally found pika's house, the... well, I'll just let them tell you about them: http://pikans.org/

Then, this afternoon, I ran with my training group at the Arboretum, and our mileage window was 5-8 miles. Go figure they want to run 7 miles. I thought about only going 5, told them I would drop out of the group after 5, and then stuck with them the entire 7 miles. My legs are complaining loudly and demand an ice bath as soon as possible. And, we have our first real workout of the season tomorrow!

Joy of joys.
