I have NOT run the amounts I am supposed to have this month. Sigh.
I've been trying, it's just been a really crazy month for traveling and such, AND I spent the second half of the month with a gross cold. And we're at the point in training where all of the runs are long so I have to actually put legitimate time aside for running if I want to follow my calendar.
My calendar says I'm running 23 miles this coming Saturday.
It's lying.
First of all, apparently you don't need to run that long of a run in training. Second of all, I happen to be in South Bend watching my cousin Matt get married on the 6th, and running 23 miles just doesn't fit into that plan.
Which doesn't mean I won't be stepping up my training, especially now that my cold is gone (so I can stop spitting up gross shit while running. Yes, ew.) ALSO, I'm going running shoe shopping with Mel tomorrow (YAHOO!!) which hopefully will remedy my random pains. I bought new shoes when we started this endeavor but I did it Dusty-style (which means Mel was my running shoe guru and we were at Big 5 and there was a sale...) The shoes have been pretty good to me up until about a month ago, but recently my right arch has been extremely angry with me and I think it's starting to give the other foot ideas because (I kid you not) my entireleft foot fell asleep for three-fourths of my 5-miler. There is no sensation weirder than running three miles with one foot entirely asleep.
About Me
- justdusty.rakm'ubak
- Born and raised in Seattle, Washington where I learned to love tea and rain and evergreen trees. Found a love for Judaism in NFTY after a slight push from Rabbi Michael Latz, set my sights on becoming a rabbi at age 16 and have been moving toward that goal ever since. Moved to sunny southern California for college and graduated from UC Santa Barbara in 2008 with a BA in Religious Studies. During my undergraduate years, I fell in love with cycling, spent a year in Dublin Ireland (and worked as a Starbucks barista!) and wrote my undergraduate thesis on JUBUs (Jewish Buddhists). After college I had the privilege of serving NFTY SOCAL's phenomenal teens as their regional advisor for two years before enrolling at Hebrew Union College's School of Rabbinic Studies.
