Alight, I'm muscling through. I'm posting more because, in my imagination at least, posting more often will eventually result in better posts. I will be disciplined. I will flex my blogging muscles on a regular basis and I will hone my blogging skills. And I will become a brilliant blogger.
With that in mind, as promised: the 1/2 marathon switch. Long story short is that Imogene was really hard, I did nothing for about a week and half, then I went to Phoenix for a conference where I failed to get in a long run and then by that time I was too far behind to train for Big Sur as much as I would like. Also, running Big Sur requires buying a plane ticket, and booking a hotel and possibly renting a car, all of which for some reason cost money. Conveniently, Tucson has a nice 1/2 marathon race that is at a lower altitude (than Flagstaff) and is mostly downhill, and in December, which gives me another month to train. I love to run downhill. And, I know the course (or part of it) because I ran some of it last year in the marathon relay. So that's the story: I'm running the Tucson half rather than the Big Sur half. And now that I read it, it's not a very interesting story. I guess the better posts will not be starting immediately. Anybody want to run the Tucson 1/2 marathon with me?
I guess it's too late to talk you into doing the full, which is what I am doing ... but I think Heather wants to do the 1/2! Also, I just left a comment on Moses' blog. Please tell him that you know me so that he does not think I am a blog stalker.
ReplyDeleteSorry, Kerry, you've hit the land of things Barbara doesn't do.
ReplyDeleteRan track badly in school, and my knees would probably not allow this to happen.
