Wow - that long?!?

How in the world could I let a month go by without posting.  Hmmmm, maybe I'm not cut out to be a "blogger"...  but I hope I am!  We'll have to see over the next month, huh?!?  :)

I have had a fantastic few weeks with running.  I feel stronger, I've gone farther than ever, ran hills during a recent trip to TX (hello land of HEAT!) and am 44 days from my FIRST 1/2 MARATHON!  WOOT!  "I'm good enough, I'm strong enough, and doggoneit, people like me!"  Quick, name that SNL character!

Heading for a run tonight with my running buddy Cheryl and looking forward to it.  She's been nursing a calf injury and we've both been traveling, so it's been a few weeks since we have ran together.  We met through TNT and have become fast friends.  She'll be doing Ragnar KW in January this year with another team, but we'll be able to live it up for a day or two in KW after crossing the finish line!  We're going for an hour tonight and I need it.  I had a fantastic run on Saturday, really the best run I've ever had since this crazy journey began, then Sunday night my back started spasming.  So I skipped last night's run and went to the chiropractor.  I'm still a bit stiff today, but hopeful that with some heat, ice, heat and good drugs (lol) I'll be ready after dinner tonight.

Happy running and here's hoping I get back on the blogging track!  :)
