Alright, alright, alright. I know. I've been a Blogger Bum. But it's not as if I've actually been a bum. I chaperoned an amazing group of Cincinnati high school seniors on a trip to Poland and Israel. And I was kind of a cheating bum at that, because I blogged about it, but not in this blog. You can read all about it here, in THIS blog. I could never rehash it again, but it's all right there for your reading enjoyment.
Since then, well, I've been running of course. The running has been quite difficutl for me. I trained my ass of with the Pfitzinger 18/55 program. It looked exactly like this, except for the dates. It's alot of miles! Right now I'm in my second week of training for the Columbus Marathon on October 19th. I have two goals: first is to set another PR -- hopefully finishing in 4:20 or better -- and second is to complete 95-100% of the scheduled runs. So far, so good. I'm trying not to be anal about my paces because the first third of the program is so much mileage buildup that I always feel like I'm getting slower not faster. Also, since coming back from my trip, where I didn't run at all, I've been feeling sluggish. I'm still trying to find the motivation!
So. Here WE Go!
