Lil Geek ETA: Who knows?

No news is, well, no news. Lil’ Geek has yet to make up her mind about when she plans to make her grand appearance.

I’m hopeful it will be this weekend, mostly because I told my parents she was coming tonight. Nothing like a little motivation, right?

The running seems to be back on track. I did three Thursday after five on Wednesday. This morning I woke up late but still managed to get in a good long run. I finished 14 miles in just a hair over 2 hours 12 minutes for an average pace of 9:23. That’s pretty awesome since I was hoping for a 9:45-10:00 minute pace.

Right now the plan is still for the New Year’s Day marathon, but that will depend on when Lil’ Geek arrives. I’m doing my best to get those miles in now so when she gets here I can take a break without losing too much of my fitness level.

If the marathon doesn’t work out, well I’ve got other plans for 2010. I’ll announce those on New Year’s Day, regardless of whether I run the marathon that day. If all goes well, I’m planning 3-4 races next year. Two of them are going to be pretty tough.

Mrs. Fitness Geek continues to be strong and deal with her pain. She’s a trooper. Tomorrow will be a recovery run of just a couple of miles. Next week, I’ll be near 30 miles, the most I’ve had in months.
