I’ve been terrible about updating the blog recently. And terrible about running (the two usually go hand in hand). A few quick updates…
- I have signed up for the Dallas Half Marathon next month. Yup. No turning back now. Am I ready for it? Not at all. Am I training for it? Nope. Am I still gonna do it and pray for the best? You bet! The Jeffers will be doing it with me and we will also be meeting up with his buddy Jason and his girlfriend Kyleen. So although it will definitely not be my best race, it should be a fun weekend!
- I just found out that my running team placed first in our division at the San Francisco Marathon last year! Go Team No Beer Left Behind! I even got an awesome shirt in the mail.
- I am yet to join a running group here in Austin, but am thinking of starting one at Google and seeing if I can get my co-workers to come out once a week for a few miles... Hmmm…
I’m not sure what I can do to get excited about long distance running again. I’m kind of in a slump. I was starting to get back on a schedule and then a few things happened to ruin my good intentions… 1) I got really sick with the flu, 2) I was traveling for 3 weeks for work, 3) I was working my butt off and had no energy for anything else, 4) It was really cold outside (yes, I live in Texas but it snowed here, and temps were in the 20’s!), 5) WHY AM I NOT GETTING MY RUNNERS WORLD AND RUNNING TIMES MAGAZINES IN THE MAIL ANYMORE? I moved to Austin in October and since then I’ve only gotten one issue in the mail, despite numerous calls to Rodale. Must be a sign...
Okay, excuses excuses, I know. Time to get moving again and be disciplined. And since I only have about a month until the race, it’s crunch time! What do you to stay motivated during running limbo? Time to do some research and see what I come up with…
