It's been a while, huh?! I hope you haven't been too worried...I'm still alive and (more importantly?) still running. There was a good bit of time when I wasn't and didn't feel like it. But I put on my big girl pants, got through a few long runs on the treadmill, and had a darn near PR at a half marathon this past weekend. I've started doing more cross-training (yoga, bootcamp) and it has made me like my running better...mainly because I'm not running everyday.
Anyway, I'm back to running and to writing. Lucky you! As I mentioned above, I ran a half marathon this past weekend down in New Bedford, MA. It's still part of the 12 in 12 goal. A goal that I'm still working toward, although it has been tweaked a bit these past couple of months. I missed January and February, one due to my lack of training, one due to a winter storm. But since I ran two in October and ran a full in December, I'm counting them for Jan and Feb. The 12 in 12 ends when I cap off the year with the race that started it: the Run to Remember in Boston on May 26th. I can't wait to stop running half marathons every month!
What's next? Kentucky Derby Festival Marathon in just 37 days!! I was on the website today and started getting just a bit nervous...that hasn't happened for a race since, well, since December. I suppose each marathon produces a bit of nerves for me. I've got an 18miler on the schedule for this Saturday and a 20 on the schedule for April 6th. After that...I'll be ready! And if I'm not, I only have myself to blame...well, myself and this winter. (Too much snow. Way too much snow.)
