Is it Friday yet?

Oh man, I can't wait for Friday! Massage therapy hurt last week, but it did wonders for my shoulder. I ran 12k Friday night and it was an easy run, no struggle. I actually only planned to run 6k, but I felt good so decided to push it another 6k and itwas a fantastic run. It was starting to get dark by the time I got back, so I really have to watch the time. I would hate to be stuck running on the Galloping Goose in the dark. That is dangerous. This Friday night I'm going to try and run 14k, but at the Uvic track. It's lit and I find it easier to do long runs on it because I get caught up running in circles and I lose count and just focus on running-its great. I had another massage therapy session yesterday-she's pretty tough. I know why they call it 'therapy' now, it certainly wasnt a relaxing massage, but the scalp massage at the end almost made the pain worth it-almost. I'm going to try someone else next time, it shouldnt be that painful. I miss Monique, she was amazing.

School is starting to get hectic and I've taken on another job tutoring ESL 3x a week. My days are long, I dont get home until 7pm most nights, but its nice to have the extra cash. This weekend I have so much homework to do, I kind of wish it would rain so that I don't want to go outside. But of course its gorgeous.

Janice has fallen off the wagon. She never ran at all last week, ran 10k this week but she is up and down. One minute she thinks she can do it, the next she thinks she cant. I dont blame here there, I feel the same. I've only ran once so far this week, I just dont have time and its dark so early and I'm always exhausted. Its school-work-tutoring-homework-sleep. But I dont even sleep much these days, I'm struggling with shutting down the thinking process at night. Mr. Gray told me to listen to my audiobooks, so I tried that last night and it did help. Oh well, 3 more weeks and this stupid half marathon is OVER!
