I think Blah is a good word to describe the way I ran today. Not really disapointed, but I know I can do much better.

Ran the 5K in a PR 30:22, 3 minutes faster than I was 6 weeks ago. I was a few minutes off the pace that I wanted to run, but it is ...

Well, the nerves are starting to set in a bit. I am slated to run my second 5K Sunday and while running tonight I caught myself thinking/worrying about it.

My first performance was somewhat dissapointing. I had been very sick and hadn't run in 2 week...

Just bored and blogging again.

Went out for a light run today. It was a very nice day, but I have been tired all day for some reason and I wasn't really in the mood to push it. Just did a light 3 miles and called it good enough.

Got some lame news at work. They are rearranging a bunch of positions along with their associated schedules. Well, I got the crappy news that I now have to work every other Saturday, meaning I will miss the 5K that I was hoping to run in a few weeks.

I just noticed how much into the running thing I am getting.

Every year around my birthday I try to take a few days off to visit family and kind of take stock of all that is good about life. I have found over the years that it is a healthy practice a...
