It's been a long time

I haven't posted anything in a long time, again!  I don't think anyone is reading this anyway!

My return to running has been successful.  Since my last post (shortly after running the Santa Hustle Half Marathon), I have been consistently running.  I ran the Glass City Half Marathon (in the rain), and I did make my goal of running the Flying Pig Marathon (and had a PR).  I've been participating in a 5K here and there.

The  most important thing is that running is fun again.  I enjoy the races no matter how fast I run or if I place or not.  The most fun race this year has been the zombie infested Run for Your Lives race.  A friend also participated in the race (he survived, I was infected), and my husband and daughter were zombies.    I ended up bloodied and bruised, and had the time of my life!  We plan to do it all again next year.

I have a few more 5K's, half marathons, and full marathons planned.  My most ambitious race planned is the Dopey Marathon in January -- a 5K, 10K, 1/2, and Full Marathon -- 48.6 miles in 4 days!

Gotta Run - and my new motto is No Excuses!
