My shame has kept me away

Sorry that I was gone for so long. I have a lot of things that are coming up and I didn't want to talk about them... mainly because my training has been ugly - beyond ugly - sweet spirit kind of ugly. Let me fill you in on the upcoming race.

Louisville, KY Marathon
Q. Do I run at least 3 days during the week?
A. No
Q. Have I been running my long runs on the weekends?
A. No
Q. Have I been running at all!
A. No, not really
Q. Am I panicking about the race that is 9 weeks away?
A. Most definitely!
Q. Do I have anything to say in my defense?
A. Not like it matters, but I was sick 3 times in the last 8 weeks, the weather has been awful, I have been out of town over a few weekend, and I get depressed and lazy during the winter...none of this matters because April 28th will be the day of truth and no matter what I say I will still have to run 26.2 miles all the while those excuses will be running through my head and I will hope that my body will have some sympathy on me and spare me much pain and agony. However I consider that doubtful.

Do you see why I have been avoiding this topic?

I am committing myself again to get back on my running schedule and get psyched and pumped about the marathon.

Next time I will talk about how my triathlon training is going…prep yourselves it is going to be a sob story.
