That's right! My time beat Dustin's time this morning. Can you believe it?!!??? Ok, so I guess I should tell you that I cheated a little bit. This morning was an 11 mile run. Anything over 10 I always take my belt for hydration and carbs. But, today I didn't feel like filling my belt, wearing the belt, and then cleaning the bottles. So, I decided I would run 9 instead of 11. I felt so devilish. At the 4.5 mile turnaround point I actually caught myself let out a little giggle. I didn't do what the training plan told me to do today, and I felt pretty stinkin cool about it. I don't think come marathon race day it is going to matter if one time I ran 9 instead of 11. hehehehe - I still have a smirk on my face.
Dustin caught up to me with about 1.5 miles to go (he left the house before me). He is lucky my mace was holstered. He ran the rest of the way home with me, which was nice. We both talked about how heavy our legs felt. Peak week took it out of us!
So, yes, I beat Dustin. But I ran 2 less miles than he did :)

P.S. Another sign of fall - the Washam 5K registration forms are out! Do you have favorite signs of fall that you have seen? Email them to me and I will post them - or leave them as a comment. I LOVE fall!
P.S.S. I have officially lost 2 of the 5 pounds that I gained from training. Yeah!!! I have been keeping a food journal and if I can keep it up I will be able to lose the 5 by race day. I took a few steps back because of 417's restaurant month. That month was fun, but sometimes I would get so full that I couldn't sleep at night! Geez. Even though I am writing everything down, I still tend to go over a bit and if I am hungry I will eat. That is my body telling me to refuel. I just try not to refuel with cupcakes (as much) anymore.
