Some General Stuff

I woke up one morning and was looking at my log and I realized that I have spent the last year recovering from France. As sick as that sounds my body has not wanted to do much. I have finally figured out why my run has been so poor, an experiment with a pair of shoes went much longer than I should have permitted it to. I have been listening to Podcasts and web blogs of other tri athletes I shuffled around trying to figure out why I had no drive. There were times where I thought I had it but something new would change that. Now that I am working shift work it too was another adjustment. But then one day I wanted to run. I didn't force myself to put on the shoes and go out the door. That happiness led me to find my old neighbor Jill who is a personal trainer at a local gym. I needed to find something to increase my strength so I am not the last person across the finish line. I needed someone to kick my butt twice a week to help get me back on track. So far I know I have improved, first of many steps to get me back in action.

I am planning on doing the Last chance Half Marathon this fall. I don't do so well in the heat so I might as well aim for the coolness of the Fall weather. That being said I gotta go for a run before my pre-night shift nap.
