« I'm Running! | Main | Eight Miles in Chandler »

Celebration

Wow, wow, wow. All the crappity crap crap has resolved itself so incredibly wonderfully this week. That tight financial situation has been resolved in addition to other things, all to my joy and relief. I have not felt this good since June. I am amazed and happy and jumping and down with joy.

This weekend, Ash and I are headed to Mesa to spend time with my family. And hopefully - if Ash seems like he'll be okay with it - I'll be waking up early to head to Chandler to run with Lisa, Pat and a blogger I just discovered, Karen, to run 8 (gasp! 8!) miles. Keep your fingers crossed for me!

I ran 2 miles this morning. I updated my log and took a look at my training for this year:

Sporadic, that's for sure. But I'm looking forward to getting back into the swing of things. I'm guessing I'll be able to run an average of 15ish miles per week relatively easily, and I'll use those 15 miles to actually do interesting things like tempo runs and fartleks and maybe hill repeats and things like that to improve my running in a way I haven't done before. Then maybe I'll start making my long runs longer (they'll always be on the trails), and by spring, I bet I'll be ready to easily do a half-marathon. That's the plan, anyway! No pressure, all joy.

I registered for the Run'n'Roll and am totally looking forward to it!!! C and Ash will be there cheering me on. I think it'll be a blast.

RnR. Are you doing the half? I'm pacing Eric, Lisa and it seems a cast of thousands in the half. Want to join in the fun??

Glad things are so much better! Your running plan sounds great. : )

It was great to finally meet you this morning. You ran great.

I had a blast and felt like it was one of my best long runs.

the four of us we'll have to do it again soon.

take care.

Good to see you out and running again. Best of luck this weekend with Lisa and Pat. They are both very nice people and are becoming very good runners.
