many apologies for my absence this week. my apathy for running has created apathy for posting, but, no more! i have pretty much been off from running this week since my adventures last weekend (i'll get to that). i have been busy at work and a little sick and then playing golf yesterday and today. hoping to get back to running this week.
as you know, i did my first trail race last saturday. i don't remember exactly how you couched it, but you did tell me that it would be hard. that, dear sir, was quite the understatement. the race, in which about 75 people participated, was up and down 5 miles of insane hills and pretty much on the hottest day yet this year at 3pm. i managed it in 45 minutes, but it was a hellish time. i want to continue trail training and some races, but i learned that you should not attempt to do a trail race when you have never previously run on a trail even one time in your life. you would think that such a truth would be self-evident, but to me it apparently was not. there is a six mile trail race of the same series in about a month and i want to do it, so i need to get out there and incorporate trails into my training. the following morning, last sunday, i ran 8 miles as a form of punishment/training, due to my poor performance in the trail race. one of my running buddies has suggested that i'm experiencing some post-half-marathon training letdown, so i think i need to sign up for another race to reinvigorate my motivation. i'll let you know what i decide.
a few blog issues. i am all for others participating in our dialogue, so feel free to bring along anyone who wants to contribute. i am sure that i have some pictures of us, but i'll bet they are on my eMac, which is at work at the moment. i'll look and send them to you.
on the baby front, kristina is now 35 weeks. we got a new car because the car seat would not fit in her VW Golf. you might ask, "why not just get a new car seat?" unfortunately, it doesn't work like that. i am officially old (but i'm going to get faster). have a rockin' saturday night.
