Going on 15 months

Jan 15, 2009

A mid month update if you will. 

I had a scare.  I wasn't able to run much in December and my weight popped up by 10 pounds in that month.  Scared the piss out of me.  I've joined a gym and 8 out of 10 pounds is gone...but it still scared me.  I was still working out 6 days a week but it still came back..at an alarming rate. 

It's wonderful to be back running.  Even if I'm on a treadmill and not going anywhere.  I've found a place in town that's only 20 bucks a month and no contracts.  Perfect for me as I'll be heading back outside as soon as I can possible manage and I'm not loosing my milage.  It's funny....I logged a wopping 10 miles in December and already this month I've logged over 40 miles.  Amazing what not freezing your ass off will do for your milage.

I'm shooting for an 1hour 45 minute finish for my half this spring and to do that I need a pace of about 8.2 minutes per mile.  I've got almost 4 months to get to that but it seems like a long way off.  I can hold fairly steady for 6 miles at about 9.2 minute miles.  I've got some work to do.

So Skip moved out...and when he did I not only realized that I loved him completely...but that I'd keep trying at this until I'm dead.  I guess it wasn't real to me with him still in the house...it was quite a shock when he wasn't.   We had lost every ounce of our communication and hadn't spent much of any time together in years.  So we're back at it...and things are going really well.  I'm happy.
