Found this article outlining 8 reasons to run with a partner
and number 8 rings so true today: partners make great alarm clocks.
With summer heat index sweeping in, they predicted it would get up to 90 today with evening scattered t-storms. Me and Pallardy have the day off to work on the house (we've gone painting crazy) so I had him wake me up early so I could finally get this weeks long run in (17-18 miles). I'm not very good with morning runs. The night before, I can talk up big game about how I'm going to get up early in the morning and knock it out...but then the morning comes and I just continually hot snooze until I finally get up, then I just mope around trying to talk myself into getting it done. I usually do, but then I've wasted the whole day just thinking about it.
poop.
Today was different. I had Pallardy to push me...literally. He pushed me until I rolled out of bed. We went to Quail Ridge trails which is fast becoming my new fave running place and knocked out todays run before the heat set in.
Perfection.
Seattle in 24 days!

Good luck with the Rock and Roll Marathon in Seattle. I've got a friend doing it as well. I haven't quite worked up the nerve to do 26.2 but I'm good for a 70.3 Tri. http://scroginfamily.blogspot.com/2009/06/there-was-gorilla-on-ironman-703-kansas.html
