Yesterday, I had planned a 4-6 mile run with a multiple ironman finisher who used to work down the hall from me (now works in a different building). Well, it turned into more of a walk than a run. The first 2 miles felt good but somewhere on the east side of the river I lost it. I was hot (which I rarely complain about) and tired, my legs felt like lead. We ended up with 4.75 mi/1:03...yikes! At least it was good conversation (right UB?). I had wanted to count that run toward RunningLaur's Fall 5 Miler for which I have my own special bib for being the second registrant but I'm now going to go for a fantastic 5'er on Thursday! Hopefully, it'll be a run worth reporting. Isn't my bib AWESOME?!?!
Tonight due to a work meeting I can't make spin with Jen (SAD!!!!) but I did shove my bike in the car this morning and am planning a ride after the meeting.
Anyone who reads the PBJ's blogs knows that SOMEONE is getting married this weekend. I love weddings. Happy wedding eve, eve! See ya Friday Emily!

nope sadly they cant all be great... but that makes us appreciate the good ones :)
have so much fun this weekend!!! cant wait to see pics from the wedding :)
Sometimes the bad ones are much more useful than the good ones in teaching us stuff - and it's good to have some in the memory bank. When you get to a bad stretch in a race you can think back to your bad run earlier and remember that you got through it and made it before and that you can do it now..
You have a great attitude about the good and bad weeks. I'm glad you'll have another chance to run the fivemiler because your bib is awesome.
I totally agree with what everyone else said. The bad ones happen and they make you mentally stronger and help you appreciate the good ones!
I HOPED to do the Fall 5 miler today but my body did not comply. Not all weeks is right..
Hugs to WEDDINGS! I Love being married..
Your bib is pretty awesome ;)
Hope the next run is better - you can daydream about how much fun the wedding will be during your run!
Love the bib! Sorry about the tough ones, but you're right, they can't all be great...
