Gotta start somewhere...
Three ~2 mile runs in the last seven days and two gym visits...not bad after a summer of maybe once-a-week workouts.
Still have Pemberton 50k on Feb 14 2009 in mind.
And I figure it starts with just a few steps. A couple miles. Eventually, the steps will link together and I will finish 31 miles.
I'll be getting a CT scan and going to a neurologist to check up on my brain...make sure there's nothing wrong. I think it was just a major bonk and I need to take better care of myself - being very aware of my fueling and hydration needs, even when I'm not in major training mode. Which I can't wait for, by the way!
Ash and I have extended our family - by adopting two adorable kittens. Pi (my name for the black one) and Fuzzy (Ash's name for the - you guessed it - fuzzy multicolored tabby) are sisters and they are adorable. And loud (2 am - thumpthumpthumpthump as they chase each other across the house). And they get cranky when I spend the night at Chris's house. And they are currently curled up between Ash and me while I type and Ash watches Alvin & the Chipmunks (although Fuzzy keeps trying to walk on the keyboard, goofball).
Ash is about to go on a 12-day vacation with his grandmother to Michigan. I hope he has tons of fun. But I am going to miss him!!!! I will get my first 'long' run in while he's out. Now that Sabino Canyon is open again, I'll head up the road. It's been so long. I miss it.

Good thinking on the tests. Always better safe than sorry, especially something like that. Sending you good thoughts!

All kitty cats just love to type. ;-) I'm glad to hear that you are at least feeling well enough to run a bit.

Welcome back - to training, and to blogging:) Congrats on kittens too, at least they don't require as much care as dogs do! Ang, I missed you...

There you are! I was getting worried.
I luuuuvvv kittens! It's been a long time since I've had kittens, they are so darned fun.
Yay for your upcoming long run. Be sure that you have your ID with you when you run or a friend, just to be safe, but I'm sure you'll be fine. Twas just a minor glitch in your plans.

Bart (aka the little guy) wants a kitten so bad! Me too, but Marc is not a "pet person". Good luck with your training! Pemberton (and JJ100 and ZG and...) is on my wish list...my family all lives in Phoenix now.
