I ran today! Yes, I am trying to celebrate even the smallest effort. So last spring my lofty goal was possibly a 50k to celebrate my 50th b-day at the end of the year. But since I continue try and get the running bug back I am having to scale down my goal. Today I sent in the money for a trail 1/2 marathon mid Nov. That has been another goal of mine--to do a 1/2 but not on the road. I know I can do 13.1 miles. I know it won't be pretty or fast. This off road 1/2 is advertised as not technical and it's not one of the local Xterra races. So begins my "abbreviated" training plan!

Ran the 3.4 loop. It was hot (what is new). I didn't even look at time or pace, I am sure it was my usual slow speed--but who cares. I noted the "trudging" referral in the previous posts. I call it "slogging". Sometimes I feel like I am actually running but most of the time I think I am just doing a slow jog = slogging!

Hope to be posting more regularly now!
