the afternoon after...

43:43 - It could have been worse. But it is time to get my crazy heart back into it; once I've picked it up.

the night before...

Tomorrow I am running in my first road race in 7 years. Life has pitched me a glancing blow recently but nothing that should really stop me from getting where I want to go. I find it slows you down, though; and if you are not careful it could stop you entirely. It's wise to keep aware of who you are, how you feel, and what you want. I'm speaking in the 2nd person here but I really am only speaking to myself. One can only speak for ones self.
So wish me luck - 3.2 miles without falling face first into the gutter.

Spring fever

Two and a half months and 20 pounds later, I am running two and a half miles a day. It's hard to believe what I have achieved since I first made my New Year's resolution.
Unfortunately I ate breakfast early this morning so therefore my run has been put off. First thing in the morning is best for me - get out before you think about it and the rest of your day is free and clear.
I've gotta say, the breakfast fahita I had an hour ago is going to make this all a bit difficult. Well here's hoping it doesn't come straight up onto the boardwalk :-P
