The big 3-0-0

Well I went out and killed myself today in 90 degree heat, and for what....?.....so I could reach that 300 miles ran milestone! I needed 6 miles to do it, and I didn't get out nearly as early as I wanted to. By the time I made it outside it was nearly 11:30 AM, which pretty much makes it too hot to run here in the desert. But I'm young, and I'm dumb so I went anyway. I started the run listening to one of my favorite Foo Fighters albums (Dave Grohl (lead singer for the Foo Fighters) has seriously one of the best rock and roll screams of all times)(yes, I did use parentheses inside of parentheses)...anyway, all was good until the batter died on my mp3 player. Yeah, pretty sweet. I was only about 2 or 3 miles in. So I finished the rest of the run with just me and the cars and the exhaust. And oh yeah the wind, I hate the wind.

In other news the final triathlon of the summer somehow got moved up 1 weekend from the time that I registered for it. It was supposed to be on the 12th of September, now it is on the 6th. That's good news and bad news, good news in that I'll be able to stop running for this year all that much sooner...the bad news is I have 1 week less to prepare. I don't know how much preperation I need, but the more the better. Although when it is done, I am planning on taking a running break until March 2009 or so. Lots of swimming and biking for me this winter! Hopefully a long hiatus will fix the plantar faciitis that still bothers me every day. I'll keep my fingers crossed.
