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!
