You’ve probably noticed that it’s been a long time since I’ve updated. I have a good excuse though – I haven’t really been running. I’ve been trying to do 25 miles a week, and I haven’t even run that much in the last 3 weeks. I’m tempted to blame it on possible anemia, poor sleep schedule, or that kind of thing, but really I just haven’t felt like it. It’s been a really long time since I ran consistently for more than a couple weeks, so going on three months of this is difficult. Today I finally forced myself to go on a run for two reasons. One is that I’m doing the Shamrock 15k on Sunday, and after training pretty hard and consistently for a couple months I’d like to not screw it up just because I got lazy a couple weeks before the run. Not that you can really screw up a road race unless you’re trying to win it or something, so I guess I should amend that and say I’d like not to feel like shit the whole time. Reason number two is that my dog has been insane this week and looks like he’s about to explode most of the time. Probably because I got him into really good shape by running him 25-30 miles a week and then completely stopped running him at all. Oops. My two and a half mile run today didn’t make him much happier. Don’t worry, I’ll run 100 miles next week to make up for all of my not-running. So get ready for that. Miles run this week: 2.5 Miles run in 2010: 204
