11 is such an awkward number...

Ran my 11 mile run this morning. Actually wasn't as bad as the 10 miler was, for some reason. I did make the mistake of going to sleep again right after showering, didn't eat anything, so when I woke up, I still felt pretty crappy. Note to self : Some post-run carbs and protein will make all the difference in recovery!

Tomorrow, after dropping Stephen off at the airport, I'll be moving out to the suburbs for the remainder of my stay here. On the negative side - I'll have to make up entirely new routes in an unfamiliar area, which inevitably leads to getting lost, and since it's the suburbs of Bucharest (aka not Lee's Summit), there are much fewer sidewalks. On the plus side - I'll get a chance in routine and the family whom I'm catsitting for has a gym membership, which I can use. This means weight machines, a steam room, and a hot tub. Score!

I'm feeling pretty good about this marathon's training so far. No serious injuries and I'm getting in more weekly miles than I did last year. Also, I'm averaging a 12 minute mile, instead of like 14. :) I hope things are progressing well in Bmore and KC!
