O HAI

ORN: Fivish miles in something like an hour. Or so. I was hashing so time is a bit of timey-wimey, jumbly-wumbly stuff. I ran in the woods and got filthy, OK?

These pages have been gathering dust lately, and in truth, so have my running shoes, in a manner of speaking.  I only ran about 20 miles for the whole month of January. February is shaping up to be a little better.  Pretty shabby for a running blogger, but I think thanks are in order for not forcing you to endure entry after entry of commiseration and whining, bitching about being unmotivated, complaining about weather.  You're welcome.

So what have I been up to?

• Getting fat. I've gained back all the weight I lost from Chicago marathon training thanks to lots of beer and a shabby diet.
• Socially running.  I started running with a group from our local Hiking Meetup.  They get together every Tuesday and run in Iroquois Park, so that's one training day a week at least.  I've also started hashing with a local kennel, giving me another training day per month.
• Treadmill work.  The crappy weather has kept me from wanting to run, and so in order to stay in shape, I have resorted to the treadmill.  I've done about six treadmill workouts.  I think it's helped my speed, but I hate it so much that I seldom run more than 3 miles on them.
• Working. Seriously.  Work has been a problem lately.
