Rain Rain Rain

Okay, so it's raining right now. A LOT. There's flooding everywhere.

And that meant no weekend run for me. Go ahead and call me wimp . . . the rain won't kill me . . . I'm not the wicked witch and I won't melt.

But I rarely enjoy running in torrential downpours. So I won't or don't.

Fortunately, I'm off to the beach this weekend and will hopefully do some running with my nephew and brother.

Keep your fingers crossed the sun shines!

I'm BAAAAAAAAAAAAACK

No really. I am!

I am running regularly again. I even ran this morning after drinking margaritas last night. And it feels GOOD.

I am not distracted . . . well, that's not entirely true because I got a job that's taking me away from DC for a year . . . but the distractions are manageable enough to keep running. In fact, the running helps get rid of the panicky feeling I get regularly due to this new job. And Zoe has been running with me and though it is getting hotter, she seems okay with joining me for now, so we're getting out there three days a week.

So . . . hang in there with me one and all.

And forgive me for not running a marathon this year. I just can't make it happen. I was hoping to run Tucson, but the new job will make that travel difficult. So I think I'm going to focus on half marathons this fall. I might be able to make a spring marathon happen . . . time will tell. But for now I'm looking at the Chicago Half Marathon (maybe with my nephew and brother) and some other half marathons in the mid-west.

Don't despair . . . I'll run #7 in 2007.
