Is apparently here to stay. I've decided it might be time to jump on the bandwagon and blog something.
Over the last few years I have reluctantly become a runner. I can't say that I enjoy the actual activity of running; I enjoy stopping quite a bit. I especially enjoy pancakes after a weekend run. I do like the empowerment of being able to complete a lengthy run. I love the opportunity to have dedicated time to talk with a friend, or listen to music, or just let my mind wander. I could do without the shin splits, the foot problems, the sore muscles, and all the sweat.
But! I digress. In honor of my thirtieth birthday, I am contemplating running a half marathon each month of 2010. Some I will run, some I will race. I don't have a set schedule yet. But I think it's an interesting challenge that will provide plenty of fodder for the Thirty Dozen.
So it's something to think about. For now, I'm off for my weekly summer 5K on the river. I'm taking Oliver the puppy with me tonight so Alicia can walk him while I run. Last week it was 105 degrees; today it's in the low 80s, but much more humid. I placed first in my age division last week mostly because everyone else was smart enough to stay home.
Yours in running shoes,
Monica
