Well the cool autumn air has FINALLY arrived on the lower Gulf Coast - can I get an amen!? Last week was not a good week for running, shame too because of the nice weather. Had a bit of a cold earlier in the week, then closed on my Mom's house on Thursday, had folks over for dinner Friday, yada yada yada. However, I AM happy to report that I was scheduled for an 8 mile run on Sunday 10/18 and actually did a 9 mile run - so that was nice. I felt good after the run, amazing what difference the weather makes!
This week will be tough schedule-wise as well. I have a root canal this afternoon (probably won't feel like running after that!), people over for dinner on Wednesday, then out of town company Thursday - Sunday. I'll have to squeeze my runs in somewhere. Scheduled to do 10 this coming Sunday!
Also - doing a local 10K (Senior Bowl Charity Run) on November 7th - then going straight to a beer can show after that! Guess November 7th is hobby day for me.
Now for the "Exciting News"! You may have noticed a new link on my blog page and some words in the "Welcome" section about the Shamrock Marathon. Now that things are settling down with my Mom's estate sale and house sale, I think I can now devote the time to training for a full marathon. So I will still do the half marathon here in Mobile on January 10th, then pick up my training to shoot for the Shamrock Marathon in Virginia Beach, VA on March 21st. My brother and his wife live in Virginia Beach, so we'll have some local support!
Seems like I'm forgetting something, but oh well....
Here is today's Song of the Blog: Sympathy for the Devil by the Rolling Stones.
Ciao for now...
