Consistency!

Let me tell you about my upcoming race…

I”m pretty excited about this. The course goes through the beautiful, quaint downtown area of Hot Springs. Then up a little something called “West Mountain”, but I’m not focusing on that part as much The atmosphere should be great…look at this bit of info that’s on the website…

Music along the course!

Starting line, post race, along the course. . .

don’t be surprised if you hear banjos a’top West Mountain.

That’ll make you run faster!

You got to love Arkansans that don’t take themselves too seriously!

I have a week and a half of training left and I’m feeling pretty good. I was nervous until I did 4.5 miles this past Saturday. I finished it strong and feel like I’ll be able to move ahead rather easily. This weeks’ plan called for a 2 miler on Monday, 3 miler on Wednesday (today), and I’ll do 5.5 miles on Saturday. I missed Monday’s run because of a rotten cold that sprung up on me, but I just pounded out 3 miles at the gym this evening and I’m feeling great.

I’m really enjoying being in “training mode” again. It feels good to be consistent and stick with something for a while. Maybe I can transfer that energy into some consistency with this blog. I am struggling with finding time to sit down and write, but I find it calming and am looking forward to developing it. I don’t know if anybody would care to read about what I’m doing/eating/thinking, but goshdarnit I’m fixin’ to put it up here.

Night y’all.
