What, Wait...It's Back to the Blog
Noting my previous world record of 13 whole posts before bagging on blogging last year, I think I shall try and set a new P.R. in 2010, and see if I can actually maintain this thing. Perhaps, like running, it needs to become a 21 day habit, or at least a 21 post habit, before it will stick.
In the meantime, life continues snowily in the beautiful Eastern Sierra. We moved from our rural neighborhood to Mammoth Lakes last fall, so now I only have a five minute drive to work, and I get to rub shoulders with the bold and the beautiful of the running world. Indeed, my husband saw Meb at Von's (husband did not report on the content of Meb's basket, but it was probably full of Gu); Meb was very sweet to G., our three year old, who proceeded fail to acknowlege the fact that he was in the presence of running greatness. We shall have to work on that.
In other news, I ran the River City Half Marathon in Sacramento with my coworker and a friend of hers this month. I was quite pleased with my result 1:44:22, 4th place female and first in my age group. I had started getting some IT band pain towards the end of the training, so was really worried about an en-route flare up and a non-finish. But instead, glory! Here is a lovely picture of me at the finish. I cannot quite understand why my hands are so floppy looking, but at least I look like I'm enjoying myself (sort of).
And so it's onward, I hope, injury free to the San Francisco Marathon in July, which will be my first marathon ever. My sister just told me that she plans to the run the Half, which will be her first half ever. Very exciting! And quite convenient since she lives right by Golden Gate Park and the half ends practically at her front door, meaning she can run, go home, take a shower and be at the finish to cheer me on.
So, here's to better blogging, and lots of running in 2010!
