Back in the Saddle
Mood:  energetic
Topic: Marathon
Without meaning to, I took the month of July off from training. As long as I was living at the old place, I continued walking and running, but as soon as I started spending most of my nights here, the workouts ended. For the past five weeks, I have been trying to work full time and be at two houses at once and have had no extra energy or time for anything but dealing with my life.

But today is the first day of August, I'm moved completely out of the old place, the new place is coming together, at the moment Hans and I have found a way to live together in a tentative peace, and I got up at 5:00 and walked for an hour. My right arch was a little surprised and cranky, but the movement felt good. Almost as good as pedaling. I have three months of training left before the marathon, and there's no more wiggle room left in the schedule. I have to be serious from here on in.

I have a weightlifting workout scheduled for this afternoon and my first run tomorrow morning at 5:00. I'll probably post after each workout for awhile just to give myself incentive to stick to the schedule. Positive reinforcement and all that....
