Happy Halloween everyone!

I have now cleared my racing schedule for the balance of the year. After putting in a couple of good weeks I had a couple of weeks with very low mileage and now I am going on two weeks of absolutely no running. Unfortunately work seems to be consuming my time and energy right now and when I leave for the day I would rather go home and see Kathy and Glenn than go run.
We are going on 5 months since my boss passed away and they haven't hired anyone yet- nor have I seen any activity around that task.

Congrats to everyone who ran a fall race- there were some great races put in!

On another good note- my neighbor who ran her first marathon back in April and CMM ran her second marathon last weekend at the marine corp marathon and took nearly 30 minutes off of her time- congrats to Becky for a great race.

Also- Derek, my friend here at work finally put in a short run this week after being injured for weeks. Way to go Derek!

Right now my plan is to try to get the miles back up and sign up for the ING Georgia marathon that's run in March. I already have Georgia marked off the list but I have a bone to pick with the Georgia marathon and want to go back and run it.

I could kick myself in the tail for letting myself get so out of shape and add so much weight. This morning at church I had two people say something to me about the weight I have put on and it seems when ever I see some one that hasn't seen me in a while they make a comment about it. I just have to remember I didn't put it on over night and it's not going to come off over night.... but one imnportant word is going to be "discipline"!!!!

This week I was able to hit all of my runs even though I was tired and had a motivation problem a couple of days. I am glad I went out on those days because it made a world of differnce in my mood.
