Husky pride

You already know that I have no internet. Well, now I'm computerless as well because I'm getting my computer's optical drive repaired. As a consequence, I cannot charge my iPod. I'm posting from my alma mater's library, in search of a running route and bracing myself for a 10 mile run that will be music-free. I wonder if I will have the mental toughness to do this without tunes. I know that the big day will be a tune-free zone, but I don't know if I'm quite ready yet.

As Julie had previously mentioned, we both just signed up for Northeastern's Big Dog 5K. It looks like it will be a really fun race, even though I can't quite make out the map of the race route that's on the website.

I love running along the Charles. In fact, on my lunch hour at work, I often run what is known as the Mass Ave loop. Sort of self-explanatory, but it's a just-short-of-4-miles run around the Charles that includes running over the Mass Ave bridge. I usually run it between 12-2, which is of course the hottest time window during the day here.

So, on the agenda for today: making a trip to Marathon Sports and City Sports for some much-needed running apparel, figuring out what our 10 mile route will be tonight and finding a half-marathon to run between the Big Dog 5K and December 2008.
