yes i am back. well, i’ve always been here, but i am trying to get re-inspired in my blogging, perhaps put the twitter down for a moment or two a day and revisit old loves and hobbies from… before….
in this vein, i can tell you that last week, trace and i finally, officially registered for the 2012 disney half (no, no goofy registration as i can’t be sure what vacation i can get off untill the last minute). i’ve just completed my umpteenth circuit of couch-2-5K and moved up to the bridge to 10k app that i so enjoy. except….
except, i HATE running. if it is a matter of running for more than a 20 minute interval, i just want to die. i do not love it and it sometimes seems like it gets harder instead of easier. so, i “should” have run yesterday, but it looked like it was going to storm. i “should” have run today, but i got home late and now… well, i just need it to be 2:30 right now instead of 5. i am going to go out and do some more gardening is what i am going to do.
so don’t ask why exactly, but i swear i am going to get that damned coast-to-coast medal this year. and then never run again. i want to RUN the disney half this january – i would like to finish in under 2:30 – but i will take running the whole thing, then running the DL half faster! I wan’t to be at 2 hours. this is doable.
but would involve me actually running.
to be continued……

You and me both, sister! I’ve essentially abandoned my blog, and now my Twitter account. It started because I was going back to school and applying for jobs, and wanted to censor my web presence a bit, but I’ve been out of the habit for so long now that I don’t have the desire to go back to it. I don’t know if it’s a good or bad thing, or if I’ll change my mind once I’m officially done with school or have secured more permanent employment. We shall see. Until then, I’ve got you in my RSS feed, and there’s always Facebook!

I realize that last comment only speaks to the first few lines of your post. As for running, I’ve accepted the fact that the 2012 Goofy is just not in the cards for me. I’m not physically ready for it, and my employment situation has changed dramatically so the $300+ price tag (for the race alone!) makes it cost prohibitive. I’m thinking of doing the new Tinkerbell half marathon in DL next year with my friend Crystal, dangling my first trip to Anaheim as incentive might be the perfect way to get my booty back in running shape.
Miss you guys!
