Isn't This a Running Blog?

It is a running blog! I promise.

I have been following Speedy Sasquatch's plan as best I can and have been focusing on recovering from Goofy. There has been some running, some biking and some resting.

We're getting back to it this week with some more running in preparation for the North Carolina Marathon

So while there has been some running, there is nothing major to report. No stories of fantastic long runs, or long runs gone bad, just some short runs that were pretty good. I can't complain.

I had toyed with the idea of running the Ocala 1/2 Marathon or the ING Miami 1/2 Marathon on Sunday, but I decided against it. I'm going to Miami anyway Sunday night and I considered extending the trip a day on the front end, but I decided I would be better off and less stressed staying home chilling with the fam as long as possible and just banging out my long run on the treadmill this week.

Next Saturday is a different story. I'm headed to Ocala for the Valentine 5K This race was mentioned in the February Edition of Runner's World. In the magazine it mentioned that there are monkeys in Silver River State Park I want to see the monkeys. How cool would that be? Do I bring my little video camera in hopes of seeing a monkey or do I just run like I stole something? I just don't know if I have a new PR (27:12) in me... It would be nice.

  3. Recovering from Goofy is probably a bigger deal. Can't wait to read about your training for the NC marathon :)

  4. Maybe you'll get your PR by CHASING the monkeys in order to get good pictures! I love monkeys - I hope you get to see some, that would make for a very cool run!

    Good luck with the step up in training!

  5. Run like you stole something until you see the monkeys!
