In baseball there are magic numbers which indicate the number of wins needed by a team to win a division. I know that's not a full explanation, but Dave can help me out in the comments.
My magic number for the past two weeks has been 3. That's the number of miles I have run since September 15th. Last week I was sicker than a dog (and still am) and in addition, I have returned to college which interferes with two days of running per week. Yesterday I worked 10 hours which kept me from running because I had too much homework to do for class today. My marathon is in 3-1/2 weeks and this is supposed to be my highest mileage week. I don't think 3 miles is going to cut it.
Magic Number: The number of combined wins by a team and losses by another team in order to clinch something.
ReplyDeletethat sounds like a crazy (time) balancing act! good luck. speaking of time being sucked away . . . are you going to watch the season premiere of ER tonight?
ReplyDeleteyes, but how many did you run the week before??
ReplyDeleteI tell myself that you're better off to try to get well than run yourself ragged.
I say that easily, because I haven't hit alot of my target runs either :-/
I know you'll do fantastic in CBus and run Mary to Boston!!!
