I have been a bad blogger. I haven't been here in ages. But I have been busy! My oldest daughter just got married in San Diego and needless to say that has been a busy time. I have, however, continued to run. In fact, we spent a week in SD and I was able to run on the beach. That was quite an experience.
I set out to run one marathon before age 50 and have managed to run 3. The most memorable one, however, would have to be the Diamond Valley Lake marathon in March. Covered in mud from head to toe, ankles bleeding, cold, and soaking wet - it was the most fun I've had all year! lol
I also ran the Rock and Roll Marathon on June 1. For some reason that was very difficult. It had a two mile hill at mild 20 that I wasn't sure I was going to finish. I came across a person who was pushing a running wheelchair with a person in it up that hill and I said, wow, if she can do it, I can do it. I persevered, but that was my slowest time.
Looking forward to the AFC Half in August. It's amazing how 13 miles can seem short when you've done a marathon. Hoping to set a PR of 2:45 .. . hard to believe that some people do marathons in less time that that!
Time to run tomorrow, training time!
