Put em in your pocket...

So I went to the gas station to put air in our car's tires. Usually a pretty simple task in itself. Here's a note of caution...

DON'T PUT THE VALVE CAPS ON TOP OF THE AIR PUMP MACHINE!!

I thought I was being smart by not putting them on the car. The reason is obvious but I guess not obvious enough for me. THE AIR PUMP VIBRATES!!! If this were a movie, the entire crowd would have been yelling at the screen, "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, NOT ON TOP OF THE AIR PUMP"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

By the time I realized this, the caps had already danced their way across the top and jumped to their freedom. Michelle and I looked for them for a bit but the caps matched the dirt where they fell. They were gone!! Off to where ever valve caps escape to. A man in the car next to us seemed pretty amused as he just looked at us with this stupid smirk. Luckily, the gas station sells the caps so we purchased new ones and then we were on our way.

As far as my training goes, I felt great today after my 18 miles yesterday. I went to the gym and did some core work along with a quick weight session (upper body only), hit the sauna and then got a massage. After I got home and had some lunch, I took a power nap.

Running 6 tomorrow at an easy pace. Wednesday will do some speed work...nothing crazy, just some tempo stuff. Then Friday for a nice easy 6 miles. Followed by my last big run...22 miles on Sunday.

Can't believe that we are 4 weeks away!!!
