Well, now, that's just sad.

Not that I was laid off, me with my teaching credentials, AFTER school had already begun...

Not that Baboo has been gone all week and I've been lone-lone-loney, bored, and eating too much...

No, this is what's just sad:

AUGUST TOTALS (Might go up before September 1st)
Bike: 41 miles
Run: 63 miles
Swim: 2600 M

That's just sad because I really had thought I'd put out an effort and make this a pleasant marathon (yes, the one that's in 1 week) but noooooooo...... I sat on my ample behind and studied and read and emailed.

Well.

I thought about my alternatives, bag it and do the half marathon (kind of defeats the purpose of it starting 3 blocks from my house, since the half mary starts 15 miles from my house) or looking like a total badass (or idiot, depending on your point of view) and doing it anyway.

Since I'm into self-punishment I opted for the latter. Oh, no, there will be no PR next Sunday, my friends. In fact, it will most likely be a PW (Personal worst). But it's all good. What doesn't kill us makes us stronger, right?
