Been A Long Time

How long has it been since I have updated my blog? A long while. Funny, when I started this site I made great claims that I would write in it everyday. I never even once made that commitment. I don't think I've written in it two days in a row. How sad. It's not for lack of running and having little to say. More it is how crazy busy I am. So many things to do and so little time to do them in.

If I were to go back over the last 50 days or so, I could write on so many things related to my running and relentless pursuit of Boston. Plantar fasciitis - still suffering. Physical therapy and cold laser treatments - verdict still out. Couple of 5k races - not as well as I hoped. Got in to St. George - this should be a blast if I can get completely healthy. ATP (advanced training program) coaching - ha, hardly a coach but the program seems very promising. Running the trails in Grapevine - hot, hot, hot but way too much fun (friends, food, and running; a splendid combination).

I have been running faster lately. For that I am happy. I think it has to do with all the fast people I'm trying to keep up with. Or it could be that my legs are finally starting to feel rested from all the marathons I completed over the last 2 years. Whatever it is, I'm liking it.

In fact, I am coaching the Green group for the first time ever. This, I guess, is some level of accomplishment for me. When I started as a participant with Luke's I trained in the Red group. The next year I coached in the Red group. Then, for the next two years, I coached Yellow. Now Green. If I can manage to stay up with these guys I think I'll really be on my way. Maybe I'll get as fast as these folks above. Never, never stop running.
