less writing, more running

well this hasn't turned out as i hoped it might- no posts in 2 months means i've completely lost track of my total miles. most of the absence from posting has been because my running schedule has been less than *ahem* adequate. but i'm back on track now, and while i won't make any promises about posting, i will be running more and better.

did a 5 k on the 4th of july which was fun- first race of any kind that i've done since the RNR marathon in 2000. time was 27:02, i believe, which was satisfactory given my poor training until that point.

had a great run yesterday though- 8.5mi on the treadmill. longest run in 9 years, and felt surprisingly good afterward. it was a huge confidence boost for me, and an inspiration for the coming months. looking forward to a few early morning runs this week.
