This never gets old.
Unless something has gone terribly wrong, I should currently be running the Soldier Half Marathon in Columbus, Georgia. I figure this is as good a time as any to talk about how I keep track of my running. Or something like that.
This afternoon I’m driving to Columbus, Georgia to run the Soldier Half Marathon on Saturday morning. This will be my third half marathon.
I now know what food poisoning is like. Thursday night was horrible and yesterday was pretty bad as well. I’m feeling a lot better today. That was a disgustingly bad experience. Hopefully I’ll feel 100% tomorrow so I can get my long run in for the week.
I don’t know why I like these so much. Maybe it’s the texture. I have Friday off, so today is my Friday this week. I am running 12 miles this morning. Hopefully it’s not too cold out.
I spent some time taking photos with my mom over the weekend. I took a lot of photos like this. I’ve always liked taking these. I have no idea why.
I’m currently planning out a marathon training program.
It’s been a good weekend so far. I went on a great run yesterday morning and then ran a few errands and got in a second run for a total of 7 miles yesterday. I also got some tape that should help my achilles problem, but I think it’s getting better on its own as well.
Today I’m planning on another run. It should be a great day for it.
I need to get some photos of other stuff. In other news, I ran this morning. 1.5 miles. I could have run farther, but I’m still pretty nervous about my achilles.
I haven’t felt great this week (or last week for that matter). I also haven’t been running thanks to my Achilles. I’m aiming to start back tomorrow and hopefully that will help.
I took this photo at work this morning. I took about 200 or so today. There are a few good shots out of all of those.
Work is getting pretty busy lately, but I’m making progress on changing the way things are done there as far as the marketing and communication. I think I’m going to be able to make a big difference there. In the mean time, I’m exhausted. Also, since the half marathon I haven’t really been able to run due to my left Achilles giving me problems. So I’m not really feeling my best.
Other than the complaints, things are going well. I really need to start taking some pictures.
I’ll stop talking about it, but first I guess I ought to say that I did pretty well in the Asheville half marathon on Saturday. I ran it in 1:41:55 and placed 140 out of 1288 finishers. I’m glad I took it easy last week and had been staying on top of my training. It really helped. I was happy to have Sara and my mom with me at the finish line. Sara actually took this photo, which is a lot better than the official race photo of me. I enjoyed running with Scott for about half of the race, and I was constantly worried that he was about to pass me for the second half.
I had a great weekend overall, if you don’t count the redneck with a swastika tattoo across his back on the four wheeler with a rifle in his lap that decided to take a joyride on our property up in Balsam Grove. Yep.
