Well, dadgum...

It's been awhile, eh?  My half marathon was disappointing.  I didn't want to write about it.  Came in at 2:51 and change.  My knees started hurting, my feet started hurting.  I basically ran by myself, which I'm not used to.  My fault.  Started out way too fast for me.  Felt good, so I went with it.  Bad idea.  That decision bit me in the ass after the first 6 miles.  Oh well.  Finished.  Was depressed but got over it.  Signed up for half marathon number two on March 6th right here in Little Rock.  Hope to do a bit better. 

A full marathon is also in my future.  A couple friends and I have decided to sign up for the St. Jude Marathon in Memphis in December.  That gives us quite awhile to train.  That's 26.2 miles, y'all.  Scary.  But I think I can do it.  Maybe I'll become addicted.  Haha!

Been running more than last winter, which is good.  Wearing an IT band strap for the knee that's acting up.  Other than that, it's going well.  Now I need to keep it up.  School starts this week, which complicates things.  I don't know how I can continue to run in the evenings and keep up with studying.  I think it's time for me to start running by myself.  Fire up the old iPod shuffle and hit the neighborhood roads. 

I will try to update a bit more for all my readers.  Haha!  Lace up your shoes and get your asses out the door!
