Beware of man hole

My run was a struggle today. Getting started was fairly simple because I let myself sleep in since the weather is so beautiful even at 9am. But once I made it out of my complex I just wasn't in the mood to be running. I ran the whole thing, but it wasn't very quick and I wasn't very happy about it.

To add to my good humor, my park path is now officially closed. They are finishing up repaving the trail. Which is good, because it needed it, but why do they always have to close trails when the weather is perfect? So I ignored the closed path signs like everyone else in the park and ran on the grass next to the path. Then when I hit one of the main roads that I run on, there were construction men for half a mile! There have been one or two on that sidewalk for a couple of weeks, but I thought they would be done by now. Unfortunately they have multiplied and they are making my running route impossible.

I was so close to giving up but I focused my mind on running and making sure that I will be ready for the marathon in 3 weeks. I can't believe it is that soon!

Sunday Sarah and I didn't end up boot-blocking, but we are planning on going next weekend. I am about $300 away from my goal. Please help me get there!
