Halfway
On Friday we are officially halfway through summer vacation. And up to now, I haven’t even begun to wipe down all the baseboards, or clean the blinds. Not even a fraction of my summer list has been accomplished. And in the next two weeks I will be getting ready for and going on vacation with Terry to Napa. Yay! I guess I’ll get to my list when I get back.
What I have accomplished this summer is visiting friends, some major sleeping in, and running. I am officially halfway through my 2008 running goal. And the crazy thing is, when I started running it was purely to get back in shape. And though being in better shape is a nice effect, I found myself running six miles the other day just because I WAS ITCHING TO. It was seriously like a drug took over my body. It felt great. And six Motrin later, it felt even better.
Right now I have a 10K planned in September at Lake Hefner, and I’m thinking, possibly, maybe, sometime in the future, about running a half marathon. I am not committing to anything just yet though. 13 miles just sounds like SO FAR. Because it is.
So, for all of my talk at the beginning of June, blogging has once again taken a back burner. I’m not quiting or anything, but I guess I’m not posting unless I have something (I deem) great to say.
Except this post. I didn’t have anything great to say; just thought I’d say “HI!” or “Come run with me! It’s fun! And I might be a lunatic!”
How are y’all?
Good to hear from you. Good to hear your summer is going well. And it’s good to hear that you haven’t cleaned any baseboards, because then I’d just feel like a slacker.
We are in the midst of VBS this week, so we have had a busy week. But in a good way.
Later!
Your evil plan worked because now I’m addicted to running, too!!
So glad to hear from you:-)
Baseboards will wait, they just get dusty again anyway. Napa with your husband- now that is what summer should be about.
You will not be satisfied with the 10k. Just wait! Once you run it, you will so want to do more!!! If that wasn’t the case, you would not be where you are at now!!
Go ROBIN!!!! So Proud of you!!!
With Twitter, I had almost forgot that you weren’t blogging as much.
Congrats on the running success. Enjoy Napa!
Hey–As soon as the doctor okays me I can’t wait to start running again. Perhaps I can get in shape soon and run some marathon w/ you! White Rock 1/2 anyone??
