This is just a quick note. I haven't written in this blog in over a year! No, I haven't stopped running. In fact, I've run two more marathons since my last posting. I hope to write more in the future.
I will be turning 60 in a few weeks. 60! I certainly don't feel that old. To celebrate, of course I am running a marathon (my 12th). I ran my second marathon on my 50th birthday, so I figured it is only appropriate.
While my times have slowed, my enjoyment of running has not. I continue to work on making my running something I do to enjoy, not work. I may work hard at it (sometimes), but when it starts to feel like work, then I know I need to back off. I've gotten better about not stressing about missing or altering workouts. When it comes to long runs in my training, it's so much better to decide to "go for a run" and see how far I feel like going. I may be a few miles short (or over) of a planned run, but a run is a run is a run!
When I hit 60, I'm personally resetting all of my PR's. After all, I'll say it again, I'll be 60!
That's it for now. I hope to write more later, and maybe be a little more consistent this time!
No Excuses!
