Long Time, No Blog

Yeah, yeah, I know...I've been very bad with keeping up with posting on this blog. But it's summer! I've been busy!! I have slacked off really bad with running. It's just been too hot or too rainy. But I joined the Y so now I can go run at the gym when the weather isn't cooperating. I had decided early in the summer that I wasn't going to worry about sticking with running too much until September arrived. I NEED to start training or I won't be ready for Miami. So, on September 2 I got back into it. I've done every run on my schedule since then (3 days in a row now). Yay! It feels good to be back into it. I've run only at the gym lately, but I'm hoping it would will be nice and cool out on Sunday as I am supposed to do 10K and I can't imagine doing that inside. I might poke my eyes out with boredom.

I've updated my past races section. As you can see, there is nothing really too impressive there, other than my first 10K (Assumption Life). I also did a 10K at Not Since Moses in Five Islands, NS, but didn't officially finish it so I'm not putting it there. It was a weird race on the ocean floor while the tide was out and it basically was impossible to run for any amount of time, unless I wanted to twist an ankle or something. Which I don't. So we walked a lot of it and ended up not having enough time to finish before the tide came back in. It was amazing and quite an experience, but I don't know that I'd do it again.

I'm joing a half marathon clinic at the Running Room. It starts in October. It is to prepare for a half marathon at the end of February, but since my half in Miami is in January, I will always be a little off the clinic schedule. But I really wanted to do the clinic (most of it anyway) before I actually run a half. Less than 5 months away!!! EEEEEK!!!!
