Rams Win

Tigger makes herself at home

In this great week of sports for the city of St. Louis and the state of Missouri, I escaped the reality of beginning my training for January's Houston Marathon. Even though the Braves collapse led to this week's possibility for the Cardinals, I must admit it has been a great experience to witness and watch unfold living so close to STL now. Yesterday I had a great idea while running; I told Aimee that we should go the Rams game today against the Saints then walk over to the victory parade. We ended up not going, but watched all of it unfold on TV; a Rams win and a World Series Parade.

Aimee has already purchased a Championship T-shirt and I am looking forward to the next season when I hope to experience the same, only with my team. On the running front, I looked up my stats from the 1/2 last weekend in STL and I officially finished 76 out of roughly 14,000 runners. I'll take that!

I started using my new reflective gear this week and wondered how I ever safely ran without the light? I was so confident in the light that I decided to run out of town onto the trail that surround St. Joe park. I made it a few hundred yards in before the constant staring of beady eyes made me paranoid and I decided I could wait until weekend daylight runs to venture out there. However, running the golf course is now easier than ever.

Weekly Recap: Monday, off; Tuesday, 8 hills (with deer eyes staring me down); Wednesday, 5 easy; Thursday 8 tempo; Friday, off; Saturday, 4 easy; Sunday, 15 long. Oh, and check out this Chuck Norris running joke.
