Long time, no blog. To briefly catch you up with what has been going on, last week was a tough week because travel at work forced me to spend a night in the Atlanta airport, getting only about an hour and a half of sleep, which made the rest of the week tough. That included the 17 mile quest in the snow on saturday. Oh well, we survived.
Today was a challenge in itself. I had to go 12 miles, by myself here at Ft. Riley in Kansas. We finished our meeting a little early so I got to run in some nice 70 degree weather. However, I failed to bring any shorts, so I was stuck running in long pants. Needless to say, I got warm. Also, it isn’t as flat as I thought Kansas would be, but it is twice as windy! All in all it was a good run. I mapped out a 2 mile loop and ran it 6 times. It didn’t get monotonous, in fact I liked seeing the same things so I could gauge my pace. I am pretty tired and my right knee is a bit sore, but I have discovered that this training is a lot like a football season in the SEC: nobody is ever 100%. Anyway, hopefully it won’t be another week and a half before we talk.
Later.
