Nooner

................Well I'm sure I've gotten ever ones attention now..............I refer to my 10 mile run being conducted at noon......minds out of the gutter people!!!
When I set my schedule a few weeks back the plan was Olympic Development 5,000m Thursday,Friday off work,10 miler mid morning/lunchtime and then down to Franklin Field to watch my team mates and friends compete at Penn Relays.....the best laid plans.....and this may well be the last blog entry to contain the words nooner and laid!!!!
As you all know the Olympic Development 5,000m didn't happen and nor did the afternoon at Franklin Field.

Seems they've gotten strict w/ the athletes passes,used to be a time a two day pass for Friday and Saturday would get issued for both days....not anymore,Friday passes,Saturday passes only now AND they've gotten stingy w/ them only 5 passes per team not 6 like it used to be so no extra pass for yours truly and given my present fiscal plight dropping $16 for a ticket wasn't an option,more of that in a moment.
Out for my run just after 12pm,felt a little weird to be running at lunchtime on a weekday but I did what I had to do to notch 10 miler#4 for the week.

Not sure if it was running earlier,the difference in the temperature or what but I was a little leg weary today,had I not invoked a rest day Wednesday I could've understood that but said rest day should've helped.
I wasn't off my mark by much,67 mins compared to the usual 65,chalk it up as one of those days,hopefully after today's visit to my bank my day to day living will run a little smoother.
W/out divulging too much personal information I've been experiencing fiscal concerns for almost 2 months now,I kept believing I could resolve the matter by myself,instead I found myself spiraling deeper and deeper into debt,hence the lack of $16 for a ticket for Penn Relays today.
Mercifully my bank was very understanding of my plight and as of my next pay cheque I should be back to paying all my rent,my bills and not doing my food shopping at the dollar store,believe me logging 45,50,55,60 mile weeks off of less than proper nutrition has not been easy but w/ that behind me I can look forward to my remaining two 10 milers tomorrow and Sunday and moving onto the next phase of my training programme.
