Catching Up

I'm behind again. Behind on reading your blogs, behind on posting on mine. So we may go with the Cliffs Notes version to get up to speed.

I ran a half marathon on Halloween. Meh. It was at Ft. DeSoto Park near St. Pete Beach. St. Pete Beach is one of my favorite places, so it was a lot of fun to be there and it was a pretty course, but it was hot and I was slow. My slowest half marathon of the year. What was important to me was that I toughed it out and just kept going.

Before the race I was able to meet up with Morgan and B.o.B.. It was nice to chat with the speedsters before we got things going. I love to meet up with running friends!

I have been continuing to struggle just a bit with my training. Yet I refuse to give up. Things are looking up though, and I'm excited about the next several months and beyond.

Once again, I am committing to post more frequently here and catch up with you all too.

Run well!

  1. Hey Maddy - I know what it's like to struggle with training but I'm really impressed that you're sticking with it and carrying on racing - that mojo will be back and will get you going again. Big kiss honey - you're doing great.

  2. I'm sorry you're still struggling girl! Just stick with it and keep on trucking! So glad we got to run into each other again. Good job pushing through that was a tough race!

    The next few weeks are pretty busy but after the first weekend of December I'm free for a run so let's try to figure something out soon!

  3. Great job finishing the 1/2! Looks like your count down is getting close. Run strong!

    My littlest kiddo has had the flu and I have been run down trying not to get it. Talk about de-railing a training program. But I'm trying to look at things with, a little is better than nothing. So far I have not lost all my drive.

  4. Way to stick it out at the half, Maddy! I know how hard it is to run in heat, and I've been training in it all summer. Hope this cooler weather we're having sticks around some. Keep up the great attitude!!
