I remain a terrible blogger. \u00a0Mainly because once I get home from work, the last thing I want to do is get on my computer and type. \u00a0It was one thing when I could blog on my lunch break, but this is a bit more difficult.<\/p>\n

(Yes, I could just write the entry on my break and then post it later… but that seems to be too many steps for my brain.)<\/p>\n

Still running. \u00a0Still in one piece. \u00a0Seem to have screwed up my wrist somehow, which is strange, since you’d think it would be my lower body taking all of the abuse.<\/p>\n

Fall racing season has come to an end, with an amazing half marathon near the tail end. I’m pleased to be finishing the year with two new PRs – 10K and half marathon. \u00a0Of course, I still have never actually “raced” a 10K. \u00a0I tend to sort of lollygag my way through, chatting the whole way. \u00a0I wonder what my time would be like if I actually ran.<\/p>\n

I’m approaching a challenging spring. \u00a0I’m registered for seven half marathons between January and May. \u00a0I don’t plan to all out race any of them – they’re all just for fun. \u00a0There were too many bonus bling opportunities. \u00a0I’m registered for a total of 8 races for next year, and expect to get three pieces of bonus bling (meaning an extra medal just for the race combinations): \u00a0Disney’s Coast to Coast (running Tinkerbell and Princess), Iron Girl Titanium (Frederick and the Iron Girl Half), and the Maryland Double (Frederick and Baltimore halfs). \u00a0Yes, that’s right, I’m really just in it for the bling.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
