I've been making pretty good progress in my running. It's actually been neat to track everything on the calendar pages that my physical therapist, Bryan Graham, used as my training guide. (Note to self: scan those puppies!) On my 6 mile tempo run yesterday, I did a pace that was slightly better than my 10k pace from last March. (As an interesting side note, my RunKeeper had a meltdown part way through the run; I didn't know it had stopped tracking and had, somehow, been paused. Since I don't know the exact time or distance between when it paused & when I restarted it, I do know that my run was actually longer than the 6.01 miles that it logged.)
So what, you might ask, am I most excited about? How much space do I have here? Just kidding. Well, not really, but I won't turn this into a novel. (I can hear you thanking me now!)
I'm definitely looking forward to the running! (Duh, right?!) But it's not just that; it's about running and being able to be a part of something bigger than just "my run." It's fun to be able to do this with others who enjoy running and to be a part of a team. I'm looking forward to seeing some old friends from my Keys100 relay and to meeting new, soon-to-be friends. I like that I'm a part of something crazy! Seriously, how many people do you know who can say, "Yeah, I was a part of a 200 mile relay from Miami to Key West, and it went through the night!"? How many people do you know who would want to say that?! I'm looking forward to blogging about the experience & doing so during the experience thanks to my Toshiba netbook. Plus, it would be damn cool to be able to say that, as a team, we rocked it and placed near the top!
In the words of Andy Cohen from Bravo, you're just going to have to "watch what happens."
Oh, Kim - your enthusiasm is so lovely! Making friends with Coast Guard teams AND quoting Andy Cohen in the same sentence. I love it! I will look forward to reading your posts during the day (I guess I mean night) of the race!
