Neglected

I have neglected this space.

No race report. No updates.

Shame on me.

At this point, seven weeks or so after the Chicago Marathon, there really isn't a need to write a race report.

There are some things I do want to share about the day.

I had the honor of running with Susan. It really wasn't the day that either of us had hoped for, but we were together and we made the best of it.

Sadly, for whatever reason, we did not appear in the official results, despite the fact that we covered the distance. There were other people I know who also did not appear in the official results. What's up with that?

I found my mojo. After struggling for so long I had a moment somewhere around mile 16 of the Chicago Marathon. I felt the mojo that had been gone for so long return. It was a crazy feeling and one that I can't really explain. However, I am feeling much better about my running and have been more consistent than I have in forever. It's really an amazing feeling. I'm not letting go of my mojo this time! I have some big plans for 2011 - stay tuned for details!

Next up for me in the OUC Half Marathon in eight days. I am not expecting a PR at this race. I'm just not as fast as I used to be. I am expecting to run a strong race and run it the best that I can.

I'm looking forward to meeting up with Marathon Chris there. I don't think we've seen each other since Goofy.


I think we look pretty good considering we just finished a marathon
