Uh oh. Here we go again. Been off TE for a long time because I haven't been able to train and somehow felt un-entitled. Now I'm finally getting back in gear. Signed up for a half marathon. We had our first training yesterday, day after I got out of hospital after another Crohn's flare-up, so I walked rather than ran. But I felt fine, tacked on a fourth mile after the three we were supposed to do and went birding. Got some great shots of a pair of Canada geese going through their entire mating ritual
Then stopped by Trek's (my sister's!) favorite bike shop and picked up my old Trek (as in bike this time, I left the new one home in Norway) from repairs and upgrades. Now if only it would stop raining, I'm ready to bike commute for the rest of this semester
Maybe this time around I can get in shape and stay there ...? Ya think? Naah, but it's worth getting there anyway.

Half-marathon over. Sabbatical year over. It's back to "sacking shirt and oat cakes" as they say here.

I did a 4.5 mile run today. I started it in a light drizzly rain but it changed over to a hard rain in the last half mile. Still, overall, it was good run.
I'd rather be swimming...biking...running...and eating cheesecake...

Got a little 3-miler in while I was Chicago for the weekend. I'm WAY behind on my training calendar. Tonight I'm supposed to do a 5 mile run and tomorrow I start speed work! Agh!

I'm so off my training plan-- as my long runs get longer, it's harder and harder to fit them in around life and the weather. No long run this weekend, and only 11 miles the previous weekend. Next weekend, it had better happen...
Anyway, today was just shy of 8 miles; felt like going a few more, but didn't have the time. Sigh...
