So the other day I was accused of bailing out of the 1/2 marathon since my training had seemed to come to a halt.  Not so.

Now I’ll admit, I’ve run into a few stumbling blocks.  I’ve had a few unexpected things pop up recently that have cut into my training time, but there’s no real reason to go into them here.  (I’m sure when I see you in person you won’t be able to get me to shut up about them.)  Plus, the every 2 year occurance of my back blowing out came about 15 months early this time.  So that has slowed me down a little as well.  But I managed to make it through the St. Paddy’s Day Dash thanks to an heavy dose of muscle relaxers.  God bless technology.

Anyway, the race is still a good 12-13 weeks out.  I’m at a solid 4-5 miles at around 9:30/mile.  The next big milestone is the Seahawks 12k in April.  Shoot me an email if you are up for some runs around Greenlake or Lake Union, or better yet up on Cougar Mountain where there are some hills.
