Training Interruptions

The biggest obstacle to marathon training? Life. There are many things that I can forgo in place of a long run, but my wife's birthday definitely is not of those things. I chose to enjoy walking all around the city today until dinner, and then stayed up (still up) late to consume a freshly baked red velvet cake and some mini red velvet cupcakes. All good stuff. If I weren't still sick, I definitely would probably get up early to do the race tomorrow because it's always easier to do a long run with company. If I feel well tomorrow, I may actually still get up, but the more likely scenario is that I'll sleep in and do about 22 miles within Central Park.
