I'm Back

Now that I've put together a race calendar, my life has some meaning again. Today, I stepped to the challenge and ran a fast 12. It was supposed to be 18 but I haven't done that since India and was pleased with the 12 as the roadway was slick and hail was coming down. I was thankful that it wasn't icy, but my face was really wet when I was done.

I feel more upbeat and will now start getting up earlier so I can make it to the gym after a long run. I've met a new runner, Jay, who is an amazing athlete, a sub 3:00 marathoner. We're supposed to go for a run after work. Great! I'm going to get my ass kicked.

It will be a true test of a workout. I will go for a 1 mile swim before and hope that I can keep up. We'll see what happens tomorrow.
