Down but not out......

I can't belive that it has been 3 months since I last posted. Here is a quick list of excuses.

1. I spent more time running and life got busier. I got a church assignment that takes up about 10 hours a week that has cut into my blogging.
2. I work for AIG and no, I was not on any of the nice trips that you hear about in the press. I did give a small interview to an Italian TV crew though.
3. The Northface 50k got cancelled (worse that working for AIG) and I was depressed.
4. I did not get into the JFK 50 miler and was even more depressed.

So as you can clearly see, wo is me. Life is so hard right now :)

The truth is that since I last posted I have completed a century ride, have been increasing my long runs, doing yoga and am on track for a 50k on November 8th. I would have liked to have the feedback and experience from running the Northface 50k but I am feeling good right now. I have stayed relatively injury free and the wasted taper getting ready for the Northface 50k I think turned out to be a blessing. I am super excited to see what the 50k has in store for me.

I have also started running at night with a headlamp. It is so quiet and peaceful at night at Watchung that I really look forward to it.

Next up is a 4 hour long run tomorrow of which I will blog about soon. (I promise)

Happy trails.
