i'm falling behind

it's not that i don't want to post, i am just behind. so i owe the blog write-ups of Marine Corp Marathon and the JFK 50. Well, I owe the second to Anna as well. They are coming.

Today I got a monthly pass to the town fitness center. I like getting my daily run first thing in the morning, but I don't like training runs in the freezing cold dark. Race runs in the freezing cold dark, ok; training runs in the dark, ok; training runs in the freezing cold daylight, ok; but I've drawn the line at freezing cold + dark.

So for the next couple of months I will do my weekly workouts on the treadmill, the eliptical, and weights. This worked really well for me a couple years ago - gave me the ability to work out when I would have otherwise stayed in bed.

I'll be caught up here soon.

Next weekend, the Virginia Happy Trails Race Club Fat-ass 50 mile run down at Bull Run (Hemlock Overlook). I probably won't run the full 50, but I'll get in at least 30 or so.
