April 2011

I've been busy. It's not you, it's me. Spring has sprung, and everything seems to speed up, including time. I am feeling how I would describe as "normal". Not flawless, but not bad, either. I am experiencing mild discomfort at a low Prednisone dose... some dryness, soreness, extra recovery time & effort, etc. But that's it... no weakness that I can really speak of. It's the difference between the superman that I feel like when I'm on steriods vs. the mid-30's aged human being with a flawed body that I really am without the steriods. Boston is next week. I leave on Wednesday. Yes, I'm going again. Come on... you knew I would, didn't you? Although I have a good reason. When I decided to go the first time, I registered early and on my own. In the meantime, several of my running friends decided that they wanted to go too, and make it a group trip. However, they didn't qualify and get registered before the 2010 race filled, so they had to defer until this year. So, of course I had to go back. All of these people made the effort to train and run qualifying times so that we could all go together... I can't let them down now! Hm, I wonder what my 2012 excuse will be...
