I decided around mile 10 that I must be crazy to continuously sign up for these races when there is nothing fun about running 13.1 miles. Mile 3 had an enormous hill and mile 8 was absolutely up hill the entire mile... no jokes, if you had put a match box car at the end of mile 8 it would have rolled to at least mile 7. I would like to say that outdoor running is far easier than treadmill running, but today the hills certainly kicked my butt. I did drop a few seconds (6 per mile to be exact) off my last half marathon time, but i feel like i should have done better. I am running another in 3 weeks... so maybe I can get under 1:45 on that one. I ran a 1:47 today. 2 minutes doesn't sound like much, but in the moment it is... that's almost 10 seconds faster a mile. It will mean I live running for the next three weeks. At least Ben will be living it with me... as I know he has no desire for me to beat him again.
On the Ben front... things are good. There is another frisbee tournament in June that he was invited to... Jess isn't on the list at this point, but I am sure she will end up there. He didn't invite me even though there aren't enough girls. I know I am not that good, but I can't get better without practice and at this time of year the only place to practice is to go to tournaments... catch 22, huh? I need to not stress about this so early- things will work out.
I am going to try and talk to him about our living situation. If he isn't going to move in, I need to find a roommate. The other night mid "discussion" he said that maybe he should start spending the night at his house, then maybe we would sleep better... in that moment I knew I wanted him to move in... no doubt in my mind I want him here- for all the right reasons. I am not saying it would be perfect, but I don't need perfect, I just need him.
