Comments: Off day today. Twelve mile long run tomorrow. Brought out Jeff Galloway's book "Marathon" from the garage book pile. Have been re-reading portions of it again. Ordered his book "Galloway's Book on Running" from Amazon for $10, shipping included. Ridiculously cheap for what seems like a great tome. The 12-mile run came as a bit of a surprise because I was expecting a shorter run than the 10-mile run from last Saturday. Planning to get up early to beat the heat; last week's 11:00 a.m. start would have killed me with mid-day heat if not for the wind. Will bring the camera again. Going to go real slow again and see how I feel. Hoping I will feel as good as I did last weekend, even though it took me three hours because I kept stopping to take pictures. Felt down today because the Sacramento French Film Festival is going on. The impulsive Kevin wanted to buy a $50 full-festival pass and bury myself in the Crest Theater for 16 films over two weekends. The responsible Kevin realized this would negatively impact a whole number of other goals, like studying for the GRE, Saturday's long run, getting Dawn to an eye checkup appointment, grocery shopping, and so forth. So, even though I have felt down, I think being responsible (for now, heh) is the right thing to do. Commitment.
