Random Thoughts

Another month of running, and more new experiences. It wasn't a high mileage month -- going on vacation and strep throat took care of that, but it doesn't really matter. Let's get to the good stuff!



I'm signed up for a training team! I get a group! I gots peeps! Every summer, well, last summer, the girls go off and support other people by coaching the Sportsbackers Pink Nation marathon training team. And leave me. It's so unfair! So with some gentle prodding/tazer gun, I signed up for the Patrick Henry Half Marathon training team put on by RRRC.org. This was on Friday at 2:30 pm when I clicked the "submit" button. They had started the week before, and I had no idea if I was going to be able to hook up with them for their Saturday a.m. run at that point. To make a long (and only interesting to me) story short, I did, and now I have a team!

So far, it's been good. I'm learning how to get around Ashland, and I was only last in the first week, when I didn't take my fuel belt. This means I'm signed up for two halves "in a row" -- Patrick Henry and Rock n Roll are two weekends in a row. I'll think about that tomorrow, for tomorrow is another day!
