The last weekend of August is the NM marathon and half marathon. I'm signed up for the half. Ed and Rachel are flying in from DC to run. Ed will be doing the half and hopefully sucking wind. Rachel will probably do the full and then run the half after as a recovery run.
Last winter I screwed up my Achilles after a batch of plantar fascist foot issues. %% Insert Whining Here%% . It flares up occasionally and I still have not gotten into groove running regularly again. Signing up for this will mean I have to train. At least some.
Friday was to be my first 45 minute run in months...
Whew - made it "threw" my 45 minute run. As in "Threw Up".
If you need to add any humbling experiences to your list, try trail running in the high desert. It's like running on a beach. Uphill. The trail running portion of my 45 minute run was at least 1-2 minutes long before I bailed. Gimme some pavement!

In case anyone is looking to run one in somewhat cooler weather, NM has two more good sized marathons in October.

This week I have my Physics final to look forward to, so probably not a lot of blogging going on again. Here I am, it is sunny (surprise) and 86 out. Light breeze. Stuck inside a library "studying physics" well, putting an entry into my blog.
