Things are going well right now- last week I had a good running week with the exception of replacing Saturday's long run with a nap. Our 10 month old son Zach was asleep and started to get a little fussy. I went up to lay down with him and ended up sleeping for about an hour. The loss of the long run was not a total loss because I played basketball a little longer that morning and I ran an hour on Monday morning (and obviously because I got to nap for an hour on a Saturday).
The fourth of July weekend will be big with a good bike ride (30 to 40 miles, the bike was in the shop for a tune up so I am excited to get out and ride) planned and a long run (1:45) planned. I may try to squeeze in another run on the day that I ride but will probably take the kids hiking. I tow the little one in a baby carrier so the legs get a decent workout.
It just occurred to me that I am two months away from the first goal of the season (Northface 50K) on Labor day weekend. If the weight comes down and I manage to increase the long runs up to 20 miles a couple of weeks before it will be a success.
I am really starting to have some fun running and am starting to feel like a runner. What I mean by starting to feel like a runner is that it does not take as long to warm up when I start running. I am also getting some flexibility in my legs, which I have never had in life. If that happens then this running thing will have been more than worth the sacrifice.
