I Suck
I wasted close to three hours today wandering around the library looking for books I need for a cite check that I have to complete by Wednesday (for those non-lawyers and non-editors, a cite check involves checking all the citations in an article and verifying that they’re technically correct, formatted correctly, mean what the author of the article claims they mean, etc. Unfortunately, electronic versions of articles and cases won’t do – because the pagination might be off, one always has to go to the hard copy. And, I have the good fortune to be cite checking an article that references a number of obscure medical journals to which the University apparently doesn’t subscribe, so I’m going to have to go over to the science library tomorrow and try to figure out how I can get my hands on them).
I revised my TLT workout to a 12 mi. MP run to save an hour… I then revised my 12 mi. MP run to a 4 mi. MP run plus 1 mi. tempo, which saved me another hour. I still have a couple of hours of reading to do before my 8:30 class, so I figured my time would be better spent doing that… I ran enough that I don’t have that terrible “I haven’t gotten off my butt today” feeling, but not quite enough to feel as if I actually did anything. I guess it will have to suffice. My week should get better by Wednesday, so I’m going to put the TLT off until then, which will bump my tempo workout to Saturday. I’m hoping to get in 8-10 mi. tomorrow, which will still make my mileage for the week extremely low. Erg. Ok, back to the books.

You do not suck! You're following a tough schedule (I mean running wise, but otherwise as well, I suppose) so if you have to modify now and then, I'm sure that you're still getting in some good training. I think if you actually did every workout on the schedule, you'd be overtrained by the time Boston came around. So this way, it'll be just right.
Cite checking sounds pretty terrible! Good luck with that.
