climaxing.

summer is here in no small way.  i am having the summer i said i would have from the start.  pink lipstick, romantic lace gowns, flowers in my hair, kisses in the grass, love on the boats, giggles with the girls, and bullets at the finish lines. 

 in six  short weeks, i will run a marathon because over next two weeks i will have peaked.  or at least i hope so.  because while i have been so busy enjoying those mt gay (andsomethingfruity)s, my long runs have been draaaagging.  it is difficult to concentrate solely on those weekly distance runs, and meet training deadlines when there are steel drums, raw oysters, and grandiose merriment occurring in that white tent yonder.  what's a girl to do? 

i have one big regatta left.  which means no less than three big parties before i need to get serious and produce some of those 20 milers before the big day arrives.  today was my lay day.  i've carbed up this evening on three ears of the sweetest juiciest ears of corn from Barlett Farm, and will set out for my fifteen miler tomorrow.  slowly but surely.
