Turns out the Army 10 Miler falls on the same weekend that TS and I were planning to begin our road trip through California. The timing of the California trip is otherwise perfect -- it falls right before TS needs to be out there for a work conference, so his work will pay for his flight, our hotel for our weekend in San Francisco, and for some of our car rental. We'll be staying with friends for most of the trip, so if we plan it during that week, we're only really paying for my flight and part of the car rental. So, this means we're not going to run the Army 10 Miler after all.

I'm really disappointed... I was looking forward to running that race. I'd even entered all my training workouts into my planner already. (I still use an old-fashioned, paper planner so now I have to either deal with a lot of white-out or buying a new calendar insert... I may have to go with the latter.) I really wanted to do a ten miler this year and a half marathon next year. With my injury, I wasn't able to do the Cherry Blossom 10 Miler, so this one seemed like the next best thing. I've been trying to find an alternate race to run around the same time (early fall), but no such luck. Of course, there's a ten miler this weekend, but there's no way that's going to happen. Even if I was in shape enough to finish ten miles (which I doubt), it would probably resulting in reinjuring my leg. If anyone knows of any ten mile races in the DC, NY, or CT areas in the fall, please let me know!

5K number four tonight! I will be shocked... shocked... if I manage to beat last week's time, especially as I overheat pretty easily and it's going to be in the mid-70s and sunny.
