Back in business!

I cannot lie, I have been slacking on  my running as well as my blogging, but never fear I am back!  Adjusting to the amount of hours that I put into my career during the winter and transitioning into the summer was hard!  I've tried to make myself get out of bed in the mornings but I couldn't convince myself that it was a great idea!  I have had two and a half day's off of work, which is pretty abnormal, and each day I have tried to run.  Tried!  On Sunday I started to run but it was way too hot to continue (5:00pm).  On Monday, I was supposed to have a full day off of work but was forced to go in due to the negligence of one of my subordinates!  Ahhhhh Tuesday, today was the day that I was going to wake up and run!

I woke up, crawled out of bed, laid on the family room floor and started doing crunches.  I then preceded to do pushups, followed by a healthy breakfast!  I let my food settle and donned my running gear!  I felt good!  I ran an intermittent 7 miles today and walked another mile in the mix.  It was hard to run in the humidity and heat that we have had here in the past month or so!  I felt really good about getting out today!  With my schedule at work I can't get together with my running friends anymore.  Every time I try something comes up and it is quite irritating.  I realized today as I was running that I have to start training now because October 2, Corning Wine Glass Full Marathon is approaching rapidly!  I am not ready to take on that sort of feat yet but I will be soon! 

To my close friends that I love to run with, I hope that we can connect again soon!  I miss our creepy, hysterical, fun-filled runs that motivated me to become a better runner then I had ever imagined I would be.  I hope that your training is going well and that you kick ass in the next full or half that you run.

I look forward to running more and writing about it!  My next challenge is the Warrior Dash in NY and then the Wine Glass Full Marathon!
